Challenges of Driver Drowsiness Prediction: The Remaining Steps to Implementation

no code implementations17 Sep 2021 Emma Perkins, Chiranjibi Sitaula, Michael Burke, Faezeh Marzbanrad

In particular, physiological monitoring methods such as Electroencephalography (EEG) are intrusive to drivers; while behavioural monitoring is least robust, affected by external factors such as lighting, as well as being subject to privacy concerns.

EEG

Vision-based system identification and 3D keypoint discovery using dynamics constraints

no code implementations13 Sep 2021 Miguel Jaques, Martin Asenov, Michael Burke, Timothy Hospedales

This paper introduces V-SysId, a novel method that enables simultaneous keypoint discovery, 3D system identification, and extrinsic camera calibration from an unlabeled video taken from a static camera, using only the family of equations of motion of the object of interest as weak supervision.

Residual Learning from Demonstration: Adapting DMPs for Contact-rich Manipulation

no code implementations18 Aug 2020 Todor Davchev, Kevin Sebastian Luck, Michael Burke, Franziska Meier, Stefan Schaal, Subramanian Ramamoorthy

Dynamic Movement Primitives (DMP) are a popular way of extracting such policies through behaviour cloning (BC) but can struggle in the context of insertion.

Action sequencing using visual permutations

1 code implementation3 Aug 2020 Michael Burke, Kartic Subr, Subramanian Ramamoorthy

Humans can easily reason about the sequence of high level actions needed to complete tasks, but it is particularly difficult to instil this ability in robots trained from relatively few examples.

NewtonianVAE: Proportional Control and Goal Identification from Pixels via Physical Latent Spaces

no code implementations CVPR 2021 Miguel Jaques, Michael Burke, Timothy Hospedales

Learning low-dimensional latent state space dynamics models has been a powerful paradigm for enabling vision-based planning and learning for control.

Learning rewards for robotic ultrasound scanning using probabilistic temporal ranking

no code implementations4 Feb 2020 Michael Burke, Katie Lu, Daniel Angelov, Artūras Straižys, Craig Innes, Kartic Subr, Subramanian Ramamoorthy

This work considers the inverse problem, where the goal of the task is unknown, and a reward function needs to be inferred from exploratory example demonstrations provided by a demonstrator, for use in a downstream informative path-planning policy.

Black-Box Saliency Map Generation Using Bayesian Optimisation

no code implementations30 Jan 2020 Mamuku Mokuwe, Michael Burke, Anna Sergeevna Bosman

This is achieved by a sampling-based approach to model perturbations that seeks to localise salient regions of an image to the black-box model.

Bias Remediation in Driver Drowsiness Detection systems using Generative Adversarial Networks

no code implementations10 Dec 2019 Mkhuseli Ngxande, Jules-Raymond Tapamo, Michael Burke

Our framework improves Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) trained for prediction by using Generative Adversarial networks (GAN) for targeted data augmentation based on a population bias visualisation strategy that groups faces with similar facial attributes and highlights where the model is failing.

Composing Diverse Policies for Temporally Extended Tasks

no code implementations18 Jul 2019 Daniel Angelov, Yordan Hristov, Michael Burke, Subramanian Ramamoorthy

Robot control policies for temporally extended and sequenced tasks are often characterized by discontinuous switches between different local dynamics.

Hybrid system identification using switching density networks

1 code implementation9 Jul 2019 Michael Burke, Yordan Hristov, Subramanian Ramamoorthy

This paper introduces switching density networks, which rely on a categorical reparametrisation for hybrid system identification.

Physics-as-Inverse-Graphics: Unsupervised Physical Parameter Estimation from Video

1 code implementation ICLR 2020 Miguel Jaques, Michael Burke, Timothy Hospedales

Our approach significantly outperforms related unsupervised methods in long-term future frame prediction of systems with interacting objects (such as ball-spring or 3-body gravitational systems), due to its ability to build dynamics into the model as an inductive bias.
