Abstract: Machine translation and computer vision have greatly benefited of the advances in deep learning. The large and diverse amount of textual and visual data have been used to train neural networks whether in a supervised or self-supervised manner. Nevertheless, the convergence of the two field in sign language translation and production is still poses [...]

Abstract: Supervised learning relies on manual labeling which scales poorly with the number of tasks and data. Manual labeling is especially cumbersome for 3D recognition tasks such as detection and segmentation and thus most 3D datasets are surprisingly small compared to image or video datasets. 3D recognition methods are also fragmented based on the type [...]

Abstract: How can we train a robot to generalize to diverse environments? This question underscores the holy grail of robot learning research because it is difficult to supervise an agent for all possible situations it can encounter in the future. We posit that the only way to guarantee such a generalization is to continually learn and [...]

Abstract: Reconstructing 3D objects from a single 2D image is a task that humans perform effortlessly,  yet computer vision so far has only robustly solved 3D face reconstruction. In this talk we will see how we can extend the scope of monocular 3D reconstruction to more challenging, articulated categories such as human bodies, hands and [...]
