Understanding generalization and robustness in modern deep learning

In this thesis, we study two closely related directions: robustness and generalization in modern deep learning. Deep learning models based on empirical risk minimization are known to be often non-robust to small, worst-case perturbations known as adversari ...

USBFuzz: A Framework for Fuzzing USB Drivers by Device Emulation

Hui Peng, Mathias Josef Payer

The Universal Serial Bus (USB) connects external devices to a host. This interface exposes the OS kernels and device drivers to attacks by malicious devices. Unfortunately, kernels and drivers were developed under a security model that implicitly trusts co ...

Online Robust Regression via SGD on the l1 loss

Scott William Pesme, Nicolas Henri Bernard Flammarion

We consider the robust linear regression problem in the online setting where we have access to the data in a streaming manner, one data point after the other. More specifically, for a true parameter , we consider the corrupted Gaussian linear model $ y=\la ...

Training Algorithms for Multiple Object Tracking

Andrii Maksai

Multiple object tracking is a crucial Computer Vision Task. It aims at locating objects of interest in the image sequences, maintaining their identities, and identifying their trajectories over time. A large portion of current research focuses on tracking ...

Learning Non-Parametric Models with Guarantees: A Smooth Lipschitz Interpolation Approach

Colin Neil Jones, Emilio Maddalena

We propose a non-parametric regression method that does not rely on the structure of the ground-truth, but only on its regularity properties. The methodology can be readily used for learning surrogate models of nonlinear dynamical systems from data, while ...

Real-Time Generative Hand Modeling and Tracking

Anastasia Tkach

In our everyday life we interact with the surrounding environment using our hands. A main focus of recent research has been to bring such interaction to virtual objects, such as the ones projected in virtual reality devices, or super-imposed as holograms i ...

Robust and Accurate 3D Head Pose Estimation through 3DMM and Online Head Model Reconstruction

Jean-Marc Odobez, Kenneth Alberto Funes Mora, Yu Yu

Accurate and robust 3D head pose estimation is important for face related analysis. Though high accuracy has been achieved by previous works based on 3D morphable model (3DMM), their performance drops with extreme head poses because such models usually onl ...

Template-based Monocular 3-D Shape Reconstruction And Tracking Using Laplacian Meshes

Tien Dat Ngo

This thesis addresses the problem of recovering the 3-D shape of a deformable object in single images, or image sequences acquired by a monocular video camera, given that a 3-D template shape and a template image of the object are available. While being a ...

Robust 3D Object Pose Estimation and Tracking from Monocular Images in Industrial Environments

Alberto Crivellaro

Recent advances in Computer Vision are changing our way of living and enabling new applications for both leisure and professional use. Regrettably, in many industrial domains the spread of state-of-the-art technologies is made challenging by the abundance ...

Stochastic Spectral Descent for Discrete Graphical Models

Volkan Cevher, Ya-Ping Hsieh, Edo Collins

Interest in deep probabilistic graphical models has increased in recent years, due to their state-of-the-art perfor- mance on many machine learning applications. Such models are typically trained with the stochastic gradient method, which can take a signif ...

Handling Motion-Blur in 3D Tracking and Rendering for Augmented Reality

Vincent Lepetit

The contribution of this paper is two-fold. First, we show how to extend the ESM algorithm to handle motion blur in 3D object tracking. ESM is a powerful algorithm for template matching-based tracking, but it can fail under motion blur. We introduce an ima ...

Data-Driven Visual Tracking in Retinal Microsurgery

Pascal Fua, Raphael Sznitman, Karim Ali

In the context of retinal microsurgery, visual tracking of instruments is a key component of robotics assistance. The difficulty of the task and major reason why most existing strategies fail on {\it in-vivo} image sequences lies in the fact that complex a ...

Certification Aspects of the Fast Gradient Method for Solving the Dual of Parametric Convex Programs

Colin Neil Jones

This paper examines the computational complexity certification of the fast gradient method for the solution of the dual of a parametric con- vex program. To this end, a lower iteration bound is derived such that for all parameters from a compact set a solu ...

Flexible and Robust Calibration of the Yule-Nielsen Model for CMYK Prints

Thomas Bugnon

Spectral reflection prediction models, although effective, are impractical for certain industrial applications such as self-calibrating devices and online monitoring because of the requirements imposed by their calibration. The idea emerged to make the cal ...
