We propose an online learning algorithm to tackle the problem of learning under limited computational resources in a teacher-student scenario, over multiple visual cues. For each separate cue, we train an online learning algorithm that sacrifices performan ...
It is of prime importance in everyday human life to cope with and respond appropriately to events that are not foreseen by prior experience. Machines to a large extent lack the ability to respond appropriately to such inputs. An important class of unexpect ...
Several object categorization algorithms use kernel methods over multiple cues, as they offer a principled ap- proach to combine multiple cues, and to obtain state-of-the- art performance. A general drawback of these strategies is the high computational co ...
Given a corpus of news items consisting of images accompanied by text captions, we want to find out “who’s doing what”, i.e. associate names and action verbs in the captions to the face and body pose of the persons in the images. We present a joint model f ...
Localization and context interpretation are two key competences for mobile robot systems. Visual place recognition, as opposed to purely geometrical models, holds promise of higher flexibility and association of semantics to the model. Ideally, a place rec ...
Unexpected stimuli are a challenge to any machine learning algorithm. Here we identify distinct types of unexpected events, focusing on ’incongruent events’ - when ’general level’ and ’specific level’ classifiers give conflicting predictions. We define a f ...
Auditory and visual cues are important sensor inputs for biological and artificial systems. They provide crucial information for navigating environments, recognizing categories, animals and people. How to combine effectively these two sensory channels is s ...

Categorization is one of the fundamental building blocks of cognitive systems. Object categorization has traditionally been addressed in the vision domain, even though cognitive agents are intrinsically multimodal. Indeed, biological systems combine severa ...
Learning from experience and adapting to changing stimuli are fundamental capabilities for artificial cognitive systems. This calls for on-line learning methods able to achieve high accuracy while at the same time using limited computer power. Research on ...
