Balancing long- and short-term dynamics for the modeling of saliency in videos
Theodor Wulff, Fares Abawi, Philipp Allgeuer +1
The role of long- and short-term dynamics towards salient object detection in videos is under-researched. We present a Transformer-based approach to learn a joint representation of…
Unified Dynamic Scanpath Predictors Outperform Individually Trained Neural Models
Fares Abawi, Di Fu, Stefan Wermter
Previous research on scanpath prediction has mainly focused on group models, disregarding the fact that the scanpaths and attentional behaviors of individuals are diverse. The disr…
Human Impression of Humanoid Robots Mirroring Social Cues
Di Fu, Fares Abawi, Philipp Allgeuer +1
Mirroring non-verbal social cues such as affect or movement can enhance human-human and human-robot interactions in the real world. The robotic platforms and control methods also i…
The Robot in the Room: Influence of Robot Facial Expressions and Gaze on Human-Human-Robot Collaboration
Di Fu, Fares Abawi, Stefan Wermter
Robot facial expressions and gaze are important factors for enhancing human-robot interaction (HRI), but their effects on human collaboration and perception are not well understood…
Wrapyfi: A Python Wrapper for Integrating Robots, Sensors, and Applications across Multiple Middleware
Fares Abawi, Philipp Allgeuer, Di Fu +1
Message oriented and robotics middleware play an important role in facilitating robot control, abstracting complex functionality, and unifying communication patterns between sensor…
Judging by the Look: The Impact of Robot Gaze Strategies on Human Cooperation
Di Fu, Fares Abawi, Erik Strahl +1
Human eye gaze plays an important role in delivering information, communicating intent, and understanding others' mental states. Previous research shows that a robot's gaze can als…
GASP: Gated Attention For Saliency Prediction
Fares Abawi, Tom Weber, Stefan Wermter
Saliency prediction refers to the computational task of modeling overt attention. Social cues greatly influence our attention, consequently altering our eye movements and behavior.…
A trained humanoid robot can perform human-like crossmodal social attention and conflict resolution
Di Fu, Fares Abawi, Hugo Carneiro +5
To enhance human-robot social interaction, it is essential for robots to process multiple social cues in a complex real-world environment. However, incongruency of input informatio…
DRILL: Dynamic Representations for Imbalanced Lifelong Learning
Kyra Ahrens, Fares Abawi, Stefan Wermter
Continual or lifelong learning has been a long-standing challenge in machine learning to date, especially in natural language processing (NLP). Although state-of-the-art language m…
Enhancing a Neurocognitive Shared Visuomotor Model for Object Identification, Localization, and Grasping With Learning From Auxiliary Tasks
Matthias Kerzel, Fares Abawi, Manfred Eppe +1
We present a follow-up study on our unified visuomotor neural model for the robotic tasks of identifying, localizing, and grasping a target object in a scene with multiple objects.…
