Cognition Envelopes for Bounded Decision Making in Autonomous UAS Operations
Pedro Antonio Alarcon Granadeno, Arturo Miguel Bernal Russell, Sofia Nelson +5
Cyber-physical systems increasingly rely on foundational models, such as Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision-Language Models (VLMs) to increase autonomy through enhanced percep…
Cognitive Guardrails for Open-World Decision Making in Autonomous Drone Swarms
Jane Cleland-Huang, Pedro Antonio Alarcon Granadeno, Arturo Miguel Russell Bernal +4
Small Uncrewed Aerial Systems (sUAS) are increasingly deployed as autonomous swarms in search-and-rescue and other disaster-response scenarios. In these settings, they use computer…
Psych-Occlusion: Using Visual Psychophysics for Aerial Detection of Occluded Persons during Search and Rescue
Arturo Miguel Russell Bernal, Jane Cleland-Huang, Walter Scheirer
The success of Emergency Response (ER) scenarios, such as search and rescue, is often dependent upon the prompt location of a lost or injured person. With the increasing use of sma…
N-Modal Contrastive Losses with Applications to Social Media Data in Trimodal Space
William Theisen, Walter Scheirer
The social media landscape of conflict dynamics has grown increasingly multi-modal. Recent advancements in model architectures such as CLIP have enabled researchers to begin studyi…
An Avalanche of Images on Telegram Preceded Russia's Full-Scale Invasion of Ukraine
William Theisen, Michael Yankoski, Kristina Hook +3
Governments use propaganda, including through visual content -- or Politically Salient Image Patterns (PSIP) -- on social media, to influence and manipulate public opinion. In the…
C-CLIP: Contrastive Image-Text Encoders to Close the Descriptive-Commentative Gap
William Theisen, Walter Scheirer
The interplay between the image and comment on a social media post is one of high importance for understanding its overall message. Recent strides in multimodal embedding models, n…
NOMAD: A Natural, Occluded, Multi-scale Aerial Dataset, for Emergency Response Scenarios
Arturo Miguel Russell Bernal, Walter Scheirer, Jane Cleland-Huang
With the increasing reliance on small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) for Emergency Response Scenarios, such as Search and Rescue, the integration of computer vision capabilities ha…
