EEG-Driven Decoding Framework for Passenger Hazard Perception in Highly Automated Vehicles

Yingkai Yang, Ashton Yu Xuan Tan, Bowen Li +10

Reliable risk assessment remains a central challenge for Autonomous Vehicles (AVs). Despite advances in automation, passenger cognition provides a non-intrusive auxiliary signal th…

Three Necessary Principles for Self-Supervised Visual Representation Learning

Nikos Giakoumoglou, Paschalis Giakoumoglou, Tania Stathaki

We argue that learning visual representations without labels requires a training signal jointly complete across three non-overlapping objectives: semantic invariance across augment…

Open-World Semantic Segmentation with Sensitivity Modeling

Anastasios Romanos Varvarigos, Nikos Giakoumoglou, Tania Stathaki

Modern vision systems must operate in "open-world" settings, where models must recognize known categories and detect unseen or anomalous content. Conventional semantic segmentation…

ViTAMINS: An Empirical Study of Training Self-Supervised Vision Transformers with Synthetic Hard Negatives

Nikos Giakoumoglou, Andreas Floros, Kleanthis-Marios Papadopoulos +1

We introduce ViTAMINS, a method that integrates synthetic hard negatives into unsupervised vision transformer pretraining to improve representation quality. Our approach is thoroug…

Fake & Square: Training Self-Supervised Vision Transformers with Synthetic Data and Synthetic Hard Negatives

Nikos Giakoumoglou, Andreas Floros, Kleanthis Marios Papadopoulos +1

This paper does not introduce a new method per se. Instead, we build on existing self-supervised learning approaches for vision, drawing inspiration from the adage "fake it till yo…

Unsupervised Training of Vision Transformers with Synthetic Negatives

Nikos Giakoumoglou, Andreas Floros, Kleanthis Marios Papadopoulos +1

This paper does not introduce a novel method per se. Instead, we address the neglected potential of hard negative samples in self-supervised learning. Previous works explored synth…
