On Motion Blur and Deblurring in Visual Place Recognition

ICRA 2026poster

Visual Place Recognition (VPR) in mobile robotics enables robots to localize themselves by recognizing previously visited locations using visual data. While the reliability of VPR methods has been extensively studied under conditions such as changes in illumination, season, weather and viewpoint, th…

SHAF: Small Language Model Integrated with Motion Modality for Multimodal Interaction

ICRA 2026poster

Multimodal interaction plays a vital role in human–AI interaction, enabling robots or AI agents to interpret human input from multiple sensory channels and respond through diverse communication modalities. This paper introduces SHAF, an LLM-based multimodal model capable of handling text, image, and…

Structured Pruning for Efficient Visual Place Recognition

ICRA 2026poster

Visual Place Recognition (VPR) is fundamental for the global re-localization of robots and devices, enabling them to recognize previously visited locations based on visual inputs. This capability is crucial for maintaining accurate mapping and localization over large areas. Given that VPR methods ne…

TeTRA-VPR: A Ternary Transformer Approach for Compact Visual Place Recognition

ICRA 2026poster

Visual Place Recognition (VPR) localizes a query image by matching it against a database of geo-tagged reference images, making it essential for navigation and mapping in robotics. Although Vision Transformer (ViT) solutions deliver high accuracy, their large models often exceed the memory and compu…

Model Agnostic Interpretability for Multiple Instance Learning

ICLR 2022poster

In Multiple Instance Learning (MIL), models are trained using bags of instances, where only a single label is provided for each bag. A bag label is often only determined by a handful of key instances within a bag, making it difficult to interpret what information a classifier is using to make decisi…

Non-Markovian Reward Modelling from Trajectory Labels via Interpretable Multiple Instance Learning

NeurIPS 2022accept

We generalise the problem of reward modelling (RM) for reinforcement learning (RL) to handle non-Markovian rewards. Existing work assumes that human evaluators observe each step in a trajectory independently when providing feedback on agent behaviour. In this work, we remove this assumption, extendi…
