To what extent are two images picturing the same 3D surfaces? Even when this is a known scene, the answer typically requires an expensive search across scale space, with matching and geometric verification of large sets of local features.…
There are many methods for projecting spherical maps onto the plane. Interactive versions of these projections allow the user to centre the region of interest. However, the effects of such interaction have not previously been evaluated. In…
How much does having visual priors about the world (e.g. the fact that the world is 3D) assist in learning to perform downstream motor tasks (e.g. navigating a complex environment)? What are the consequences of not utilizing such visual…
A number of techniques for interpretability have been presented for deep learning in computer vision, typically with the goal of understanding what the networks have based their classification on. However, interpretability for deep video…
Modern computer vision is all about the possession of powerful image representations. Deeper and deeper convolutional neural networks have been built using larger and larger datasets and are made publicly available. A large swath of…
A fundamental cognitive process is the ability to map value and identity onto objects as we learn about them. Exactly how such mental constructs emerge and what kind of space best embeds this mapping remains incompletely understood. Here we…
In this short paper, a neural network that is able to form a low dimensional topological hidden representation is explained. The neural network can be trained as an autoencoder, a classifier or mix of both, and produces different low…
Node-link diagrams are widely used to visualise networks. However, even the best network layout algorithms ultimately result in 'hairball' visualisations when the graph reaches a certain degree of complexity, requiring simplification…
Deep neural networks are widely known for their remarkable effectiveness across various tasks, with the consensus that deeper networks implicitly learn more complex data representations. This paper shows that sufficiently deep networks…
Recent research has found that knowledge distillation can be effective in reducing the size of a network and in increasing generalization. A pre-trained, large teacher network, for example, was shown to be able to bootstrap a student model…
This thesis develops and evaluates effective techniques for visualisation of flows (e.g. of people, trade, knowledge) between places on geographic maps. This geographically-embedded flow data contains information about geographic locations,…
How many times does a human have to drive through the same area to become familiar with it? To begin with, we might first build a mental model of our surroundings. Upon revisiting this area, we can use this model to extrapolate to new…
Depth perception in volumetric visualization plays a crucial role in the understanding and interpretation of volumetric data. Numerous visualization techniques, many of which rely on physically based optical effects, promise to improve…
Neural implicit surface representations have recently emerged as popular alternative to explicit 3D object encodings, such as polygonal meshes, tabulated points, or voxels. While significant work has improved the geometric fidelity of these…
When collaborating face-to-face, people commonly use the surfaces and spaces around them to perform sensemaking tasks, such as spatially organising documents, notes or images. However, when people collaborate remotely using desktop…
Indoor scene understanding is central to applications such as robot navigation and human companion assistance. Over the last years, data-driven deep neural networks have outperformed many traditional approaches thanks to their…
Three-dimensional trajectories, or the 3D position and rotation of objects over time, have been shown to encode key aspects of verb semantics (e.g., the meanings of roll vs. slide). However, most multimodal models in NLP use 2D images as…
