While there has been substantial progress in learning suitable distance metrics, these techniques in general lack transparency and decision reasoning, i.e., explaining why the input set of images is similar or dissimilar. In this work, we solve this key problem by proposing the first method to gener…
Recent advances in Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model interpretability have led to impressive progress in visualizing and understanding model predictions. In particular, gradient-based visual attention methods have driven much recent effort in using visual attention maps as a means for visual…
We propose a new deep architecture for person re-identification (re-id). While re-id has seen much recent progress, spatial localization and view-invariant representation learning for robust cross-view matching remain key, unsolved problems. We address these questions by means of a new attention-dri…
Robotic manipulation of highly deformable materials is inherently challenging due to the need to maintain tension and the high dimensionality of the state of the material. Past work in this area mostly focuses on generating a detailed model for the material and its interaction with the robot, then u…
This paper introduces a new approach to address the person re-identification problem in cameras with non-overlapping fields of view. Unlike previous approaches that learn Mahalanobis-like distance metrics in some transformed feature space, we propose to learn a dictionary that is capable of discrimi…
