Pruning in Snowflake: Working Smarter, Not Harder
Andreas Zimmerer, Damien Dam, Jan Kossmann +3
Modern cloud-based data analytics systems must efficiently process petabytes of data residing on cloud storage. A key optimization technique in state-of-the-art systems like Snowfl…
UPTor: Unified 3D Human Pose Dynamics and Trajectory Prediction for Human-Robot Interaction
Nisarga Nilavadi, Andrey Rudenko, Timm Linder
We introduce a unified approach to forecast the dynamics of human keypoints along with the motion trajectory based on a short sequence of input poses. While many studies address ei…
LLLMs: A Data-Driven Survey of Evolving Research on Limitations of Large Language Models
Aida Kostikova, Zhipin Wang, Deidamea Bajri +3
Large language model (LLM) research has grown rapidly, along with increasing concern about their limitations. In this survey, we conduct a data-driven, semi-automated review of res…
Learning from Evolution: Improving Collective Decision-Making Mechanisms using Insights from Evolutionary Robotics
Tanja Katharina Kaiser
Collective decision-making enables multi-robot systems to act autonomously in real-world environments. Existing collective decision-making mechanisms suffer from the so-called spee…
A Good Foundation is Worth Many Labels: Label-Efficient Panoptic Segmentation
Niclas Vödisch, Kürsat Petek, Markus Käppeler +2
A key challenge for the widespread application of learning-based models for robotic perception is to significantly reduce the required amount of annotated training data while achie…
Automatic Target-Less Camera-LiDAR Calibration From Motion and Deep Point Correspondences
Kürsat Petek, Niclas Vödisch, Johannes Meyer +3
Sensor setups of robotic platforms commonly include both camera and LiDAR as they provide complementary information. However, fusing these two modalities typically requires a highl…
BEVCar: Camera-Radar Fusion for BEV Map and Object Segmentation
Jonas Schramm, Niclas Vödisch, Kürsat Petek +4
Semantic scene segmentation from a bird's-eye-view (BEV) perspective plays a crucial role in facilitating planning and decision-making for mobile robots. Although recent vision-onl…
Norm-induced Cuts: Outer Approximation for Lipschitzian Constraint Functions
Adrian Göß, Alexander Martin, Sebastian Pokutta +1
In this paper, we consider a finite-dimensional optimization problem minimizing a continuous objective on a compact domain subject to a multi-dimensional constraint function. For t…
Few-Shot Panoptic Segmentation With Foundation Models
Markus Käppeler, Kürsat Petek, Niclas Vödisch +2
Current state-of-the-art methods for panoptic segmentation require an immense amount of annotated training data that is both arduous and expensive to obtain posing a significant ch…
