Deep reinforcement learning, in particular, has achieved great success in well-defined application domains, such as Go or chess, in which an agent has to learn how to act and there is a clear success criterion. In this talk, I will focus on the potential role of reinforcement learning as a tool for building knowledge representations in AI agents whose goal is to perform continual learning. I will examine a key concept in reinforcement learning, the value function, and discuss its generalization to support various forms of predictive knowledge. I will also discuss the role of temporally extended actions, and their associated predictive models, in learning procedural knowledge. In order to tame the possible complexity of learning knowledge representations, reinforcement learning agents can use the concepts of intents (ie intended consequences of courses of actions) and affordances (which capture knowlege about where actions can be applied). Finally, I will discuss the challenge of how to evaluate reinforcement learning agents whose goal is not just to control their environment, but also to build knowledge about their world.","PeriodicalId":414043,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Computational Photography","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130067946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A brief overview of the recent projects within Volkswagen Group research regarding Level 2 and 3 automation for cars and trucks is given. These functions are based on a “classical” environment perception model including high level sensor data fusion for static and dynamic objects and the road. This model will be shortly discussed. With Sedric the next step towards level 4 and 5 in urban environments will be taken. For this, new technologies for environmental perception are needed, i.e. a redundant multi-modal sensor set, low level sensor data fusion, artificial intelligence for image processing, scene interpretation and prediction as well as a new, versatile path planner. The requirements for these new technologies will be presented alongside with an overview of current algorithms developed at Volkswagen Group research.","PeriodicalId":414043,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Computational Photography","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124092501","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore it is necessary to build a functional architecture integrating the necessary modules for the navigation. In this keynote a functional architecture is presented and for which will describe several modules mainly the ones in relation with perception, localization and decision making and examples of existing systems will be presented.

For an opticist the order of the keywords “computational imaging” is inverted: imaging is the first operation in the sequence, as optics does the encoding for redundancy reduction, which has necessarily to be done before electronic noise is added in the channel. Before computers emerged, decoding was performed solely by optical \"hardware\" and the observer. As for today, it appears as if digital image processing evolved to a new quality: computational imaging, with much more imaging involved than during the times of digital imaging processing. Optics and computational imaging are not anymore in different faculties. Computational imaging will definitely have a great future — and it has a history: opticists do computational imaging for many years, without even knowing the term, as the author of this abstract had to notice to its own astonishment. As paradigms, we will discuss a few 3D-\"cameras\" which exploit different complexity of \"imaging = encoding\" and “computation = decoding”. Among others deflectometry, with a dynamic range of up to 106, SEM like images by pure optics, with large depth of field and very low noise and the 3D motion picture camera, with full 3D information in each camera frame.","PeriodicalId":414043,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Computational Photography","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127253354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Processes can be composed using Web services, but their orchestration has to also consider users needs at runtime, where these needs are expressed as context information. Context information is formed by functional and not functional characteristics and Web services must be selected also considering non functional aspects. In this scenario, new approaches and new frameworks have to be studied in order to overcome the limitations of the current standards, such as WSDL and WS-BPEL, which only consider functional aspects of Web services. Adaptive information systems based on web services allows to select web services based on functional characteristics and QoS, to execute a context aware orchestration of processes composed of Web services. Considering the ever increasing of information technology usage in our everyday life and the huge concentration of computational resources at remote service centers, energy costs become one of the biggest challenging issues for IT managers. Mechanisms to improve energy efficiency in service centers are divided at different levels which range from single components to the whole facility, considering both equipment and application issues.","PeriodicalId":414043,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Computational Photography","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127827456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite these very encouraging statistics, the usage of this wealth of data in high-impact applications and services is currently not more than an exciting prospect. At the same time, it is already clear that the challenges related to purposefully exposing semantic data will require significant shares of human effort, going beyond the enthusiasm of the past couple of years. Motivating people to engage with the Semantic Web is still an art more than a science. In this talk we will look into fundamental design issues of semantic-content authoring technology - and of the applications deploying such technology - in order to find out which incentives speak to people to collaboratively create knowledge, and to determine the ways these incentives can be transferred into technology design. We will present case studies on the topics of enterprise knowledge management, media and entertainment, and IT ecosystems, in which combining human and computational intelligence has led to increased user participation in creating useful semantic descriptions of various types of digital resources - text documents, images, videos and Web services and APIs.","PeriodicalId":414043,"journal":{"name":"International Conference on Computational Photography","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130114681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
