Spatio-Temporal Representation and Activities for Cognitive Control in Long-Term Scenarios
July 1, 2013 – December 1, 2014
The aim of this project is to produce intelligent mobile robots that are able to run for months in dynamic human environments by providing the robots with the longevity and behavioural robustness necessary to make them truly useful assistants in a wide range of domains. Developing machine learning framework based on graph kernels to consolidate and learn from data gathered using different sensors over a long time from a group of robots operating at different sites.
Robustness by Autonomous Competence Enhancement
January 1, 2012 – December 1, 2014
The overall aim of this project is to develop an artificial cognitive system, embodied by a service robot, able to build a high-level understanding of the world it acts in by storing and exploiting appropriate memories of its experiences. Developing machine learning framework to conceptualize robot experiences from different sources of inputs such as perception, language, textual description etc. using graph kernels and statistical relational learning. Responsibilities also include integration of Leeds' modules with other modules in the consortium, data handling, report writing etc.
Visual Intelligence Grounded In Learning (Mind's Eye Project: DARPA)
September 1, 2010 – February 1, 2012
The Mind's Eye program seeks to develop in machines the capability for visual intelligence: the capability to learn generally applicable and generative representations of action between objects in a scene directly from visual inputs, and then reason over those learned representations. Developed a supervised statistical relational learning framework to learn verb models from videos using Markov Logic Networks for event recognition task. Also developed a video visualization and annotation tool which is light and better in some aspects than the existing popular video annotation tool, VIPER. This tool is now being used by many of the consortia in the Mind's Eye project.
Cognitive and Flexible Learning System Operating Robust Interpretation of Extended Real Scenes by Multi-sensor Datafusion
April 1, 2008 – April 1, 2011
Co-FRIEND aims to design a framework for understanding human activities in real environments, through an artificial cognitive vision system, identifying objects and events, and extracting sense from scene observation. A heterogeneous sensor network, composed of wide angle and PTZ cameras and GPS vehicle monitoring was deployed in Toulouse airport. The scene understanding is assisted by machine learning, providing advanced reasoning capabilities. Developed a supervised relational learning framework to learn event models from real world videos for recognition of events in unseen videos. Responsibilities also include integration of Leeds' modules with other modules in the consortium, data handling, report writing etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mL88uhxRetw
