Hey everybody, Today I'll share some papers on Learning Scalable Rich Representations for Robotics; in particular these are very useful for touch features; but could be of use for many domains: Look, Listen and Learn. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1705.08168 Learning rich touch representations through cross-modal self-supervision. https://arxi...

Hey everybody, Today I'll share a work that we published back in 2017 and was originally prepared as a CVPR 2016 when I was a PhD student at ETH Zürich. Although dated, the approach could easily be modernized by the use of new architectures. The idea is very simple and was novel at the time of publication; although I've seen it used in...

Hey everybody, Following on an earlier post (https://world.hey.com/decurtoidiaz/open-dataset-with-astounding-images-from-the-moon-9fcabd1b), I share here a publication that we recently released where we make good use of the CE4 dataset previously introduced. Here are some preliminary results from the segmentation of the lander which I ...

Hey everybody, Following on the previous post about Random Features [https://world.hey.com/decurtoidiaz/random-features-revisited-dl-meets-kernel-methods-57990072], I give some emphasis here on a follow-up work that we mainly developed while working at Carnegie Mellon and CUHK and that generalizes the main ideas of using Random Kitchen...

Hey everybody, Following on an earlier post (https://world.hey.com/decurtoidiaz/hadamard-13de8cdc), where I introduced the use of the Hadamard as a stand-alone routine, I give further attention here at the work that I developed as part of my master thesis at City University of Hong Kong and Carnegie Mellon [1] back in 2014. The work wa...

Hey everybody, I enclose here something that I think is very cool and could be a source of inspiration for current research on other topics. Please *do* cite them if you use them as a source of inspiration. These are one of the best primers around on Random Network Coding and Designs over Finite Fields. You'll find my dissertation and ...

Hey everybody, I enclose here a dataset [https://github.com/decurtoidiaz/ce4] with astounding images from the Moon from the mission Chang'E-4 and Chang'E-3 that we released together with the following publication. We were the first to provide PNG images available together with scripts to convert from PDS4 and debayer the gray images. H...

Hey everybody, I've created an ongoing series of motivational and self-help videos that devise a sort of course on "Defense Against the Dark Arts for Engineers, Scientists and Entrepreneurs". A guide to success in life. Hope you like it. Top Counseling for Engineers, Scientists and Entrepreneurs. 1. Introduction. https://www.tiktok.com...

Hey everybody, I wanted to share some very cool tutorials about the DARPA SubT Challenge and a dataset. These hello world tutorials for the DARPA SubT Virtual Testbed will walk you through the complete process of developing the software stack for a simulated robot (SLAM, Robot Perception, Navigation and Communication). Thrilling. Link ...

Hey everybody, If you are looking for a very fast Hadamard, check out the code here (which was developed in 2014 as part of my master thesis at City University of Hong Kong and Carnegie Mellon): https://arxiv.org/pdf/1702.08159 https://github.com/curto2/mckernel More information here also, where emphasis is given to McKernel (a library...

Hey everybody, I love the idea of going back to simple but awesome old-style blogging. I'll give HEY world a try. Best regards, De Curtò i DíAz.
