• Abstract: Understanding of deformable object manipulations such as textiles is a challenge due to the complexity and high dimensionality of the problem. Particularly, the lack of a generic representation of semantic states (e.g., \textit{crumpled}, \textit{diagonally folded}) during a continuous manipulation process introduces an obstacle to identify the manipulation type. In this paper, we aim to solve the problem of semantic state estimation in cloth manipulation tasks. For this purpose, we introduce a new large-scale fully-annotated RGB image dataset showing various human demonstrations of different complicated cloth manipulations. We provide a set of baseline deep networks and benchmark them on the problem of semantic state estimation using our proposed dataset. Furthermore, we investigate the scalability of our semantic state estimation framework in robot monitoring tasks of long and complex cloth manipulations.

  Deep learning has begun taking traction as effective means of inferring a complete 3D object representation from partial visual data. We propose an object shape completion method based on an implicit 3D representation providing a confidence value for each reconstructed point. We experimentally validate our approach by comparing reconstructed shapes with ground truths, and by deploying our shape completion algorithm in a robotic grasping pipeline.

  We propose a novel framework that refines the output of such methods by utilizing a graph-based representation of instance masks. We train deep networks capable of sampling smart perturbations to the segmentations, and a graph neural network, which can encode relations between objects, to evaluate the segmentations. We demonstrate an application that uses uncertainty estimates generated by our method to guide a manipulator, leading to efficient understanding of cluttered scenes.

  A new bottom-up regime is proposed to learn category-level human semantic segmentation and multi-person pose estimation in a joint and end-to-end manner. It is a compact, efficient and powerful framework that exploits structural information over different human granularities. Experiments on three instance-aware human datasets show that our model outperforms other bottom-up alternatives with much more efficient inference.

• Video Anomaly Detection by Estimating Likelihood of Representations [21.879366166261228]
  Video anomaly is a challenging task because it involves solving many sub-tasks such as motion representation, object localization and action recognition. Traditionally, solutions to this task have focused on the mapping between video frames and their low-dimensional features, while ignoring the spatial connections of those features. Recent solutions focus on analyzing these spatial connections by using hard clustering techniques, such as K-Means, or applying neural networks to map latent features to a general understanding. In order to solve video anomaly in the latent feature space, we propose a deep probabilistic model to transfer this task into a density estimation problem.
