Artificial agents, particularly humanoid robots, interact with their environment, objects, and people using cameras, actuators, and physical presence. Their communication methods are often pre-programmed, limiting their actions and…
Complex image restoration aims to recover high-quality images from inputs affected by multiple degradations such as blur, noise, rain, and compression artifacts. Recent restoration agents, powered by vision-language models and large…
Multimodal learning allows us to leverage information from multiple sources (visual, acoustic and text), similar to our experience of the real world. However, it is currently unclear to what extent auxiliary modalities improve performance…
