Fine-tuning pretrained models is a standard and effective workflow in modern machine learning. However, robust fine-tuning (RFT), which aims to simultaneously achieve adaptation to a downstream task and robustness to adversarial examples, remains challenging. Despite the abundance of non-robust pret…
Post-hoc explanations aim at understanding which input features (or groups thereof) are the most impactful toward certain model decisions. Many such methods have been proposed (ArchAttribute, Occlusion, SHAP, RISE, LIME, Integrated Gradient) and it is hard for practitioners to understand the differ…
In robotics applications, few-shot segmentation is crucial because it allows robots to perform complex tasks with minimal training data, facilitating their adaptation to diverse, real-world environments. However, pixel-level annotations of even small amount of images is highly time-consuming and cos
We focus on the online-based active learning (OAL) setting where an agent operates over a stream of observations and trades-off between the costly acquisition of information (labelled observations) and the cost of prediction errors. We propose a novel foundation for OAL tasks based on partial monito…
The partial monitoring (PM) framework provides a theoretical formulation of sequential learning problems with incomplete feedback. At each round, a learning agent plays an action while the environment simultaneously chooses an outcome. The agent then observes a feedback signal that is only partially…
Wide-angle lenses are commonly used in perception tasks requiring a large field of view. Unfortunately, these lenses produce significant distortions making conventional models that ignore the distortion effects unable to adapt to wide-angle images. In this paper, we present a novel transformer-based…
Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) has proven effective in training agents to achieve goals in complex environments. However, a trained RL agent may exhibit, during deployment, unexpected behavior when faced with a situation where its state transitions differ even slightly from the training environme…
Conventional convolution neural networks (CNNs) trained on narrow Field-of-View (FoV) images are the state-of-the art approaches for object recognition tasks. Some methods proposed the adaptation of CNNs to ultra-wide FoV images by learning deformable kernels. However, they are limited by the Euclid…
