FIAS Scientific Report 2011 - Frankfurt Institute for Advanced Studies ...

− construct a large visual memory for general scene representation,
− develop virtual simulation tools for simulating large amounts of data for offline training,
− evaluate the ability to perform transfer learning on real data sets,
− develop novel autonomous learning methods for video representations,
− develop cue fusion and integration methods,
− develop modules for icub robotics and video surveillance to demonstrate autonomous learning
in active vision context and event/activity analysis from video.
A modular execution model has been adopted wherein long-term science work-packages can be seamlessly
integrated with systems science and engineering efforts planned. A committee based management
model is adopted for various Phd students in order to achieve increased integration. Systematic
processes and rigorous project management structure is setup in order to mitigate any future risks in
the project.
