Emotion perception: progress, challenges, and use cases
Abstract: One of the challenges Human-Centric AI systems face is understanding human behavior and emotions considering the context in which they take place. For example, current computer vision approaches for recognizing human emotions usually focus on facial movements and often ignore the context in which the facial movements take place. In this presentation, I will […]

Foundation Models for Robotic Manipulation: Opportunities and Challenges
Abstract: Foundation models, such as GPT-4 Vision, have marked significant achievements in the fields of natural language and vision, demonstrating exceptional abilities to adapt to new tasks and scenarios. However, physical interaction—such as cooking, cleaning, or caregiving—remains a frontier where foundation models and robotic systems have yet to achieve the desired level of adaptability and [...]

Learning with Less
Abstract: The performance of an AI is nearly always associated with the amount of data you have at your disposal. Self-supervised machine learning can help – mitigating tedious human supervision – but the need for massive training datasets in modern AI seems unquenchable. Sometimes it is not the amount of data, but the mismatch of [...]

Why We Should Build Robot Apprentices And Why We Shouldn’t Do It Alone
Abstract: For robots to be able to truly integrate human-populated, dynamic, and unpredictable environments, they will have to have strong adaptive capabilities. In this talk, I argue that these adaptive capabilities should leverage interaction with end users, who know how (they want) a robot to act in that environment. I will present an overview of [...]

Toward an ImageNet Moment for Synthetic Data
Abstract: Data, especially large-scale labeled data, has been a critical driver of progress in computer vision. However, many important tasks remain starved of high-quality data. Synthetic data from computer graphics is a promising solution to this challenge, but still remains in limited use. This talk will present our work on Infinigen, a procedural synthetic data [...]
