An Overview of Blockchain Integration with Robotics and Artificial Intelligence

no code implementations30 Sep 2018 Vasco Lopes, Luís A. Alexandre

Blockchain technology is growing everyday at a fast-passed rhythm and it's possible to integrate it with many systems, namely Robotics with AI services.

MANAS: Multi-Agent Neural Architecture Search

no code implementations3 Sep 2019 Vasco Lopes, Fabio Maria Carlucci, Pedro M Esperança, Marco Singh, Victor Gabillon, Antoine Yang, Hang Xu, Zewei Chen, Jun Wang

The Neural Architecture Search (NAS) problem is typically formulated as a graph search problem where the goal is to learn the optimal operations over edges in order to maximise a graph-level global objective.

GANprintR: Improved Fakes and Evaluation of the State of the Art in Face Manipulation Detection

2 code implementations13 Nov 2019 João C. Neves, Ruben Tolosana, Ruben Vera-Rodriguez, Vasco Lopes, Hugo Proença, Julian Fierrez

The availability of large-scale facial databases, together with the remarkable progresses of deep learning technologies, in particular Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), have led to the generation of extremely realistic fake facial content, raising obvious concerns about the potential for misuse.

EPE-NAS: Efficient Performance Estimation Without Training for Neural Architecture Search

2 code implementations16 Feb 2021 Vasco Lopes, Saeid Alirezazadeh, Luís A. Alexandre

In this paper, we propose EPE-NAS, an efficient performance estimation strategy, that mitigates the problem of evaluating networks, by scoring untrained networks and creating a correlation with their trained performance.

Generative Adversarial Graph Convolutional Networks for Human Action Synthesis

1 code implementation21 Oct 2021 Bruno Degardin, João Neves, Vasco Lopes, João Brito, Ehsan Yaghoubi, Hugo Proença

Synthesising the spatial and temporal dynamics of the human body skeleton remains a challenging task, not only in terms of the quality of the generated shapes, but also of their diversity, particularly to synthesise realistic body movements of a specific action (action conditioning).

Guided Evolution for Neural Architecture Search

1 code implementation28 Oct 2021 Vasco Lopes, Miguel Santos, Bruno Degardin, Luís A. Alexandre

The rationale behind G-EA, is to explore the search space by generating and evaluating several architectures in each generation at initialization stage using a zero-proxy estimator, where only the highest-scoring network is trained and kept for the next generation.

Towards Less Constrained Macro-Neural Architecture Search

1 code implementation10 Mar 2022 Vasco Lopes, Luís A. Alexandre

In this paper, we propose LCMNAS, a method that pushes NAS to less constrained search spaces by performing macro-search without relying on pre-defined heuristics or bounded search spaces.

Guided Evolutionary Neural Architecture Search With Efficient Performance Estimation

no code implementations22 Jul 2022 Vasco Lopes, Miguel Santos, Bruno Degardin, Luís A. Alexandre

GEA guides the evolution by exploring the search space by generating and evaluating several architectures in each generation at initialisation stage using a zero-proxy estimator, where only the highest-scoring architecture is trained and kept for the next generation.
