Seminar: Transfer Learning, Data Efficiency and Fairness in Deep Reinforcement Learning

Seminar by Matthieu Zimmer, UM-SJTU Monday, February 8th, 11:00 – 12:00 INRIA Montbonnot Saint-Martin   Abstract: In reinforcement learning, we aim at designing agents that take sequential decisions in unknown environments by learning through their own interaction with such environments. However, learning from scratch is often costly in terms of data to collect, transfer learning can help …

Deep Regression Models and Computer Vision Applications for Multiperson Human-Robot Interaction

PhD defense by Stéphane Lathuilière Tuesday 22nd May 2018, 11:00, Grand Amphithéatre INRIA Grenoble Rhône-Alpes, Montbonnot Saint-Martin Abstract: In order to interact with humans, robots need to perform basic perception tasks such as face detection, human pose estimation or speech recognition. However, in order have a natural interaction with humans, the robot needs to model …

Audio-Visual Analysis in the Framework of Humans Interacting with Robots

PhD defense by Israel D. Gebru Friday 13 April 2018, 9:30 – 10:30, Grand Amphithéatre INRIA Grenoble Rhône-Alpes, Montbonnot Saint-Martin In recent years, there has been a growing interest in human-robot interaction (HRI), with the aim to enable robots to naturally interact and communicate with humans. Natural interaction implies that robots not only need to …

A Bayesian Framework for Head Pose Estimation and Tracking

PhD defense by Vincent Drouard Monday 18 December 2017, 11:00 – 12:00, Grand Amphithéatre INRIA Montbonnot Saint-Martin In this thesis, we address the well-known problem of head-pose estimation in the context of human-robot interaction (HRI). We accomplish this task in a two step approach. First, we focus on the estimation of the head pose from …

Towards automatic learning of gait signatures for people identification in video

Seminar by Manuel J. Marin-Jimenez, Universidad de Córdoba Tuesday 19 December 2017, 11:00 – 12:00, room F107 INRIA Montbonnot Saint-Martin Abstract: This talk targets people identification in video based on the way they walk (i.e. gait). While classical methods typically derive gait signatures from sequences of binary silhouettes, in this talk we present the use …
