- Abstract: One of the main and most effective measures to contain the recent viral
outbreak is the maintenance of the so-called Social Distancing (SD). To comply
with this constraint, workplaces, public institutions, transports and schools
will likely adopt restrictions over the minimum inter-personal distance between
people. Given this actual scenario, it is crucial to massively measure the
compliance to such physical constraint in our life, in order to figure out the
reasons of the possible breaks of such distance limitations, and understand if
this implies a possible threat given the scene context. All of this, complying
with privacy policies and making the measurement acceptable. To this end, we
introduce the Visual Social Distancing (VSD) problem, defined as the automatic
estimation of the inter-personal distance from an image, and the
characterization of the related people aggregations. VSD is pivotal for a
non-invasive analysis to whether people comply with the SD restriction, and to
provide statistics about the level of safety of specific areas whenever this
constraint is violated. We then discuss how VSD relates with previous
literature in Social Signal Processing and indicate which existing Computer
Vision methods can be used to manage such problem. We conclude with future
challenges related to the effectiveness of VSD systems, ethical implications
and future application scenarios.

Data with privacy concerns comes with stringent regulations that frequently prohibited data access and data sharing.
Overcoming these obstacles is key for technological progress in many real-world application scenarios that involve privacy sensitive data.
Differentially private (DP) data publishing provides a compelling solution, where only a sanitized form of the data is publicly released.

We live in an era of datafication, in which life is increasingly quantified and transformed into intelligence for private or public benefit.
Existing methods to limit asymmetries (e.g., consent) have limitations to adequately address the challenges at hand.
A new principle and practice of digital self-determination (DSD) is therefore required.

We present additional architectural patterns for handling uncertainty estimation.
We evaluate the four patterns qualitatively and quantitatively with respect to safety and performance gains.
We conclude that the consideration of context information of the driving situation makes it possible to accept more or less uncertainty depending on the inherent risk of the situation.

forecasting [47.99589136455976]
Non-verbal social human behavior forecasting has increasingly attracted the interest of the research community in recent years.
Its direct applications to human-robot interaction and socially-aware human motion generation make it a very attractive field.
We define the behavior forecasting problem for multiple interactive agents in a generic way that aims at unifying the fields of social signals prediction and human motion forecasting.

We consider the task of training a policy that maximizes reward while minimizing disclosure of certain sensitive state variables through the actions.
We solve this problem by introducing a regularizer based on the mutual information between the sensitive state and the actions.
We develop a model-based estimator for optimization of privacy-constrained policies.

Viable solutions must account for both the static geometric context, such as road lanes, and dynamic social interactions arising from multiple actors.
We propose a recurrent graph-based attentional approach with interpretable geometric (actor-lane) and social (actor-actor) relationships.
Our model can produce diverse predictions conditioned on hypothetical or "what-if" road lanes and multi-actor interactions.

We study the study of constrained statistical learning problems, the unconstrained version of which are at the core of virtually all modern information processing.
We propose to tackle the constrained statistical problem overcoming its infinite dimensionality, unknown distributions, and constraints by leveraging finite dimensional parameterizations, sample averages, and duality theory.
We demonstrate the effectiveness and usefulness of this constrained formulation in a fair learning application.
