Learning To Explore With Predictive World Model Via Self-Supervised Learning

Alana Santana, Paula P. Costa, Esther L. Colombini

Autonomous artificial agents must be able to learn behaviors in complex environments without humans to design tasks and rewards. Designing these functions for each environment is n…

CIDEr-R: Robust Consensus-based Image Description Evaluation

Gabriel Oliveira dos Santos, Esther Luna Colombini, Sandra Avila

This paper shows that CIDEr-D, a traditional evaluation metric for image description, does not work properly on datasets where the number of words in the sentence is significantly…

RAM-VO: Less is more in Visual Odometry

Iury Cleveston, Esther L. Colombini

Building vehicles capable of operating without human supervision requires the determination of the agent's pose. Visual Odometry (VO) algorithms estimate the egomotion using only v…

A comparative evaluation of learned feature descriptors on hybrid monocular visual SLAM methods

Hudson M. S. Bruno, Esther L. Colombini

Classical Visual Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (VSLAM) algorithms can be easily induced to fail when either the robot's motion or the environment is too challenging. The us…
