Paper in ECCV Workshop 2012: “Weakly Supervised Learning of Object Segmentations from Web-Scale Videos”

Paper / Citation Abstract We propose to learn pixel-level segmentations of objects from weakly labeled (tagged) internet videos. Espe cially, given a large collection of raw YouTube content, along with potentially noisy tags, our goal is to automatically generate spatiotemporal masks for each object, such as a “dog”, without employing any pre-trained object detectors. We formulate […]

Paper in IROS 2012: "Linguistic Transfer of Human Assembly Tasks to Robots"

Citation Abstract We demonstrate the automatic transfer of an assembly task from human to robot. This work extends efforts showing the utility of linguistic models in verifiable robot control policies by now performing real visual analysis of human demonstrations to automatically extract a policy for the task. This method tokenizes each human demonstration into a […]
