• Abstract: We outline the role of forward and inverse modelling approaches in the design of human--computer interaction systems. Causal, forward models tend to be easier to specify and simulate, but HCI requires solutions of the inverse problem. We infer finger 3D position $(x,y,z)$ and pose (pitch and yaw) on a mobile device using capacitive sensors which can sense the finger up to 5cm above the screen. We use machine learning to develop data-driven models to infer position, pose and sensor readings, based on training data from: 1. data generated by robots, 2. data from electrostatic simulators 3. human-generated data. Machine learned emulation is used to accelerate the electrostatic simulation performance by a factor of millions. We combine a Conditional Variational Autoencoder with domain expertise/models experimentally collected data. We compare forward and inverse model approaches to direct inference of finger pose. The combination gives the most accurate reported results on inferring 3D position and pose with a capacitive sensor on a mobile device.

  In this paper, we discuss the main challenge: insufficient, or even no, labeled data for real-world indoor environments. We describe MMISM (Multi-modality input Multi-task output Indoor Scene understanding Model) to tackle the above challenges. MMISM considers RGB images as well as sparse Lidar points as inputs and 3D object detection, depth completion, human pose estimation, and semantic segmentation as output tasks. We show that MMISM performs on par or even better than single-task models.

  We propose a 3D video prediction (T3VIP) approach that explicitly models the 3D motion by decomposing a scene into its object parts. Our model is fully unsupervised, captures the nature of the real world, and the observational cues in image and point cloud domains constitute its learning signals. To the best of our knowledge, our model is the first generative model that provides an RGB-D video prediction of the future for a static camera.
