Variable stiffness structures are essential in soft wearable robotics, where both flexibility and load-bearing capacity are required within a single design. However, achieving stiffness profiles with user-defined degrees of freedom (DoFs) remains a major challenge. This paper presents a systematic,
Scene text detection attracts much attention in computer vision, because it can be widely used in many applications such as real-time text translation, automatic information entry, blind person assistance, robot sensing and so on. Though many methods have been proposed for horizontal and oriented te…
We propose a novel regularization algorithm to train deep neural networks, in which data at training time is severely biased. Since a neural network efficiently learns data distribution, a network is likely to learn the bias information to categorize input data. It leads to poor performance at test…
This paper proposes the progressive attention memory network (PAMN) for movie story question answering (QA). Movie story QA is challenging compared to VQA in two aspects: (1) pinpointing the temporal parts relevant to answer the question is difficult as the movies are typically longer than an hour,…
This paper considers an architecture for multimodal video categorization referred to as Pivot Correlational Neural Network (Pivot CorrNN). The architecture is trained to maximizes the correlation between the hidden states as well as the predictions of the modal-agnostic pivot stream and modal-specif…
