Video anomaly detection (VAD) systems often prioritize accuracy while overlooking privacy concerns, limiting their suitability for real-world deployment. We propose the Orthogonal Projection Layer (OPL), a lightweight module that removes…
In a noisy conversation environment such as a dinner party, people often exhibit selective auditory attention, or the ability to focus on a particular speaker while tuning out others. Recognizing who somebody is listening to in a…
Egocentric human motion estimation is essential for AR/VR experiences, yet remains challenging due to limited body coverage from the egocentric viewpoint, frequent occlusions, and scarce labeled data. We present EgoPoseFormer v2, a method…
There are numerous efforts to achieve a lightweight and systematic account of what is done by a group and its individuals. The Algorithmic-Autoregulation (AA) is a special case, in which a technical community embraced the challenge of…
Egocentric augmented reality devices such as wearable glasses passively capture visual data as a human wearer tours a home environment. We envision a scenario wherein the human communicates with an AI agent powering such a device by asking…
The increasing prevalence of computer vision applications necessitates handling vast amounts of visual data, often containing personal information. While this technology offers significant benefits, it should not compromise privacy. Data…
Face recognition is an effective technology for identifying a target person by facial images. However, sensitive facial images raises privacy concerns. Although privacy-preserving face recognition is one of potential solutions, this…
Egocentric vision captures the scene from the point of view of the camera wearer, while exocentric vision captures the overall scene context. Jointly modeling ego and exo views is crucial to developing next-generation AI agents. The…
Facial expression recognition relies on facial data that inherently expose identity and thus raise significant privacy concerns. Current privacy-preserving methods typically fail in realistic open-set video settings where identities are…
End users face a choice between privacy and efficiency in current Large Language Model (LLM) service paradigms. In cloud-based paradigms, users are forced to compromise data locality for generation quality and processing speed. Conversely,…
Ensuring responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI) has become imperative as autonomous systems increasingly influence critical societal domains. However, the concept of trustworthy AI remains broad and multi-faceted. This thesis…
Human identification remains to be one of the challenging tasks in computer vision community due to drastic changes in visual features across different viewpoints, lighting conditions, occlusion, etc. Most of the literature has been focused…
This paper studies a novel privacy-preserving anonymization problem for pedestrian images, which preserves personal identity information (PII) for authorized models and prevents PII from being recognized by third parties. Conventional…
As large-scale AI systems proliferate, ensuring compliance with data privacy laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has become critical. This paper introduces Brain Surgery, a transformative methodology for making every…
AI model documentation is fragmented across platforms and inconsistent in structure, preventing policymakers, auditors, and users from reliably assessing safety claims, data provenance, and version-level changes. We analyzed documentation…
Cameras mounted on Micro Aerial Vehicles (MAVs) are increasingly used for recreational photography. However, aerial photographs of public places often contain faces of bystanders thus leading to a perceived or actual violation of privacy.…
Incremental learning is one paradigm to enable model building and updating at scale with streaming data. For end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) tasks, the absence of human annotated labels along with the need for privacy…
AI-enhanced Extended Reality (XR) aims to deliver adaptive, immersive experiences-yet current systems fall short due to shallow user modeling and limited cognitive context. We introduce Perspective-Aware AI in Extended Reality (PAiR), a…
Driving in dynamically changing traffic is a highly challenging task for autonomous vehicles, especially in crowded urban roadways. The Artificial Intelligence (AI) system of a driverless car must be able to arbitrate between different…
Underwater image enhancement is vital for marine conservation, particularly coral reef monitoring. However, AI-based enhancement models often face dataset bias, high computational costs, and lack of transparency, leading to potential…
