Summary on Grant Application Form |
The goal of this MURI team is to develop machines that have the following capabilities:
i) Represent visual knowledge in probabilistic compositional models in spatial, temporal, and causal hierarchies augmented with rich attributes and relations, use task-oriented representations for efficient task-dependent inference from an agent's perspective, and preserve uncertainties;
ii) Acquire massive visual commonsense via web scale continuous lifelong learning from large and small data in weakly supervised HCI, and maintain consistence via dialogue with humans;
iii) Achieve deep understanding of scenes and events through joint parsing and cognitive reasoning about appearance, geometry, functions, physics, causality, intents and belief of agents, and use joint and long-range reasoning to fill the performance gap with human vision;
iv) Understand human needs and values, interact with humans effectively, and answer human queries about what, who, where, when, why and how in storylines through Turing tests.
