Topological Parallax: A Geometric Specification for Deep Perception Models

NeurIPS 2023spotlight

For safety and robustness of AI systems, we introduce _topological parallax_ as a theoretical and computational tool that compares a trained model to a reference dataset to determine whether they have similar multiscale geometric structure. Our proofs and examples show that this geometric similar…

xView3-SAR: Detecting Dark Fishing Activity Using Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery

NeurIPS 2022accept

Unsustainable fishing practices worldwide pose a major threat to marine resources and ecosystems. Identifying vessels that do not show up in conventional monitoring systems---known as ``dark vessels''---is key to managing and securing the health of marine environments. With the rise of satellite-bas…

Mechanical validation of an MRI compatible stereotactic neurosurgery robot in preparation for pre-clinical trials

IROS 2017poster

The use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for guiding robotic surgical devices has shown great potential for performing precisely targeted and controlled interventions. To fully realize these benefits, devices must work safely within the tight confines of the MRI bore without negatively impacting…
