  • Deep Segmentation in Plant Phenomics

    Creator:
    Kaur, Damanpreet
    Abstract:
    The abilities of plant biologists to characterize the genetic basis of physiological traits are limited by their abilities to obtain quantitative data representing precise details of trait variation and mainly to collect this data on a high-throughput scale at low cost. Deep learning-based methods have demonstrated unprecedented potential to automate...

  • An Empirical Evaluation of Policy Rollout for Clue

    Creator:
    Marshall, Eric
    Abstract:
    We model the popular board game of Clue as an MDP and evaluate Monte-Carlo policy rollout in a simulated environment pitting different agents and policies against each other. We describe the choices we made in the representation, along with some of the problems we encountered along the way. We find...

  • Supervised Hierarchical Segmentation for Bird Bioacoustics

    Creator:
    Tjahja, Teresa V.
    Abstract:
    Bioacoustics analysis can be used to conduct environmental monitoring by detecting the presence of birds species. This analysis usually involves identifying the species from their calls. In most frameworks, bird song syllables are extracted from audio recordings and individual syllables are input to a classifier to identify the species. Extraction...

  • Coactive learning for multi-robot search and coverage

    Creator:
    Potanapalli, Kranti Kumar
    Abstract:
    We investigate a search and coverage planning problem, where an area of interest has to be explored by a number of vehicles, given a fixed time budget. A good coverage plan has a low probability of a target remaining unobserved. We introduce a formal problem statement, suggest a greedy algorithm...

  • A taxonomy of biomolecular features

    Creator:
    North, Jacob L.
    Abstract:
    The scientific method applies hypothesis testing to material samples through experimentation, measurement, and data analysis, which produce representations—or features—that describe phenomena of interest. Biomolecular features come in numerous forms such as values, matrices, graphs, three-dimensional structures, trajectories, and molecular surfaces. Researchers have tested thousands of features related to protein molecules...

  • Automated Monitoring of Modular Construction Factories using Computer Vision

    Creator:
    Panahi, Roshan
    Abstract:
    Modular construction is increasingly seen as an efficient construction method in terms of time, cost, and energy. The full realization of these advantages partly relies on the efficiency of the production process inside the modular factories, which currently rely on tedious manual monitoring methods or expensive automated techniques. As a...

  • Towards Annotation-Efficient Video Representation Learning

    Creator:
    Patravali, Jay Sanjay
    Abstract:
    Labeling videos is costly, time-consuming and tedious. These costs can escalate in applications such as medical diagnosis or autonomous driving where we need domain expertise for annotation. Few-shot action recognition aims to solve this problem by annotation-efficient learning mechanisms. This thesis presents MetaUVFS as the first Unsupervised Meta-learning algorithm for...

  • Adaptive Wing Loss for Robust Face Alignment via Heatmap Regression

    Creator:
    Wang, Xinyao
    Abstract:
    Heatmap regression has became one of the mainstream approaches to localize facial landmarks. As Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) are becoming popular in solving computer vision tasks, extensive research has been done on these architectures. However, the loss function for heatmap regression is rarely studied. In...

  • Flex-shape convolution and an interactive image segmentation system

    Creator:
    Zhou, Zheng
    Abstract:
    Semantic image segmentation is a relatively difficult task in computer vision. With the advent of deep learning, semantic image segmentation is increasingly of interest for researchers because of the excellent predictions from Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). However, CNNs have proven to struggle with obtaining global context of image due to...

  • Automatic Detection of Possessions and Shots from Raw Basketball Videos

    Creator:
    Terhuja, Vikedo
    Abstract:
    Sports analytics is rapidly evolving today through the use of computer vision systems that automatically extract huge amount of information inherently present in multimedia data without much human assistance. This information can facilitate a better understanding of patterns and strategies in various sports. However, for non-professional teams, due to expense...
