Current methods require robots to be reprogrammed for every new task, consuming many engineering resources. This work focuses on integrating real and simulated environments for our proposed “Internet of Skills,” which enables robots to learn advanced skills from a small set of expert d
Financial and social elements of modern societies are closely connected to the cultivation of corn. Due to its massive production, deficiencies during the cultivation process directly translate to major financial losses. Since proper surveillance in a large scale is still very challenging, the compa…
Financial and social elements of modern societies are closely connected to the cultivation of corn. Due to the massive production of corn, deficiencies during the cultivation process directly translate to major financial losses. The early detection and treatment of crops deficiencies is thus a task…
Symmetric positive definite (SPD) matrices are useful for capturing second-order statistics of visual data. To compare two SPD matrices, several measures are available, such as the affine-invariant Riemannian metric, Jeffreys divergence, Jensen-Bregman logdet divergence, etc.; however, their behavio…
Active Constraint Learning (ACL) is continuously gaining popularity in the area of constrained clustering due to its ability to achieve performance gains via incorporating minimal feedback from a human annotator for selected instances. For constrained clustering algorithms, such instances are integr…
Analysis of behavior using video is a promising approach for identifying risk markers for psychopathology that can be applied in a wide range of populations. Computer vision techniques are needed to automatically code behavior in order to reduce time and effort in these analyses. This paper discusse
The continuously growing need for increasing the production of food and reducing the degradation of water supplies, has led to the development of several precision agriculture systems over the past decade so as to meet the needs of modern societies. The present study describes a methodology for the…
Determining and detecting risk markers for mental illness remains a labor intensive process, requiring vast amounts of observations by clinical professionals. Motor stereotypies, which are defined as involuntary repetitive motor behaviors, invariant in form, that, to an observer, appear to serve no…
