• Abstract: Recently developed deep neural networks achieved state-of-the-art results in the subject of 6D object pose estimation for robot manipulation. However, those supervised deep learning methods require expensive annotated training data. Current methods for reducing those costs frequently use synthetic data from simulations, but rely on expert knowledge and suffer from the "domain gap" when shifting to the real world. Here, we present a proof of concept for a novel approach of autonomously generating annotated training data for 6D object pose estimation. This approach is designed for learning new objects in operational environments while requiring little interaction and no expertise on the part of the user. We evaluate our autonomous data generation approach in two grasping experiments, where we archive a similar grasping success rate as related work on a non autonomously generated data set.

  In this work, seeking data efficiency, we design unsupervised pretraining for PDE operator learning. We mine unlabeled PDE data without simulated solutions, and we pretrain neural operators with physics-inspired reconstruction-based proxy tasks. Our method is highly data-efficient, more generalizable, and even outperforms conventional vision-pretrained models.

  Recent data-privacy laws have sparked interest in machine unlearning. Challenge is to discard information about the forget'' data without altering knowledge about remaining dataset. We adopt a projected-gradient based learning method, named as Projected-Gradient Unlearning (PGU) We provide empirically evidence to demonstrate that our unlearning method can produce models that behave similar to models retrained from scratch across various metrics even when the training dataset is no longer accessible.

  We explore the usability of Stable Diffusion 2.1-base for generating synthetic datasets of apple trees for object detection. We train a YOLOv5m object detection model to predict apples in a real-world apple detection dataset. Results demonstrate that the model trained on generated data is slightly underperforming compared to a baseline model trained on real-world images.
