A Closer Look at Reward Decomposition for High-Level Robotic Explanations

no code implementations25 Apr 2023 Wenhao Lu, Xufeng Zhao, Sven Magg, Martin Gromniak, Mengdi Li, Stefan Wermter

Explaining the behaviour of intelligent agents learned by reinforcement learning (RL) to humans is challenging yet crucial due to their incomprehensible proprioceptive states, variational intermediate goals, and resultant unpredictability.

Disambiguating Affective Stimulus Associations for Robot Perception and Dialogue

no code implementations5 Mar 2021 Henrique Siqueira, Alexander Sutherland, Pablo Barros, Mattias Kerzel, Sven Magg, Stefan Wermter

In this paper, we utilize the NICO robot's appearance and capabilities to give the NICO the ability to model a coherent affective association between a perceived auditory stimulus and a temporally asynchronous emotion expression.

An Ensemble with Shared Representations Based on Convolutional Networks for Continually Learning Facial Expressions

no code implementations5 Mar 2021 Henrique Siqueira, Pablo Barros, Sven Magg, Stefan Wermter

Social robots able to continually learn facial expressions could progressively improve their emotion recognition capability towards people interacting with them.

Efficient Facial Feature Learning with Wide Ensemble-based Convolutional Neural Networks

1 code implementation17 Jan 2020 Henrique Siqueira, Sven Magg, Stefan Wermter

Experiments on large-scale datasets suggest that ESRs reduce the remaining residual generalization error on the AffectNet and FER+ datasets, reach human-level performance, and outperform state-of-the-art methods on facial expression recognition in the wild using emotion and affect concepts.

Hierarchical Control for Bipedal Locomotion using Central Pattern Generators and Neural Networks

1 code implementation2 Sep 2019 Sayantan Auddy, Sven Magg, Stefan Wermter

Artificial central pattern generators (CPGs) can produce synchronized joint movements and have been used in the past for bipedal locomotion.

Evaluating Defensive Distillation For Defending Text Processing Neural Networks Against Adversarial Examples

1 code implementation21 Aug 2019 Marcus Soll, Tobias Hinz, Sven Magg, Stefan Wermter

Adversarial examples are artificially modified input samples which lead to misclassifications, while not being detectable by humans.

Incorporating End-to-End Speech Recognition Models for Sentiment Analysis

no code implementations28 Feb 2019 Egor Lakomkin, Mohammad Ali Zamani, Cornelius Weber, Sven Magg, Stefan Wermter

We argue that using ground-truth transcriptions during training and evaluation phases leads to a significant discrepancy in performance compared to real-world conditions, as the spoken text has to be recognized on the fly and can contain speech recognition mistakes.
