    This paper proposes, analyzes, and evaluates a deep learning architecture based on transformers for generating sign language motion from sign phonemes (represented using HamNoSys: a notation system developed at the University of Hamburg). The sign phonemes provide information about sign characteristics like hand configuration, localization, or movements. The use of sign phonemes is crucial for generating

    Style transfer for human face has been widely researched in recent years. Majority of the existing approaches work in 2D image domain and have 3D inconsistency issue when applied on different viewpoints of the same face. In this paper, we tackle the problem of 3D face style transfer which aims at generating stylized novel views of a 3D human face with multi-view consistency. We propose to use a neural radiance

    Floorplans are useful for navigating indoor spaces, for resource allocation and for indoor space management among many others. But in the absence of readily available digital floorplans, these are hard to generate. In this work, we enhance the generation of floor- plans from point clouds to be more robust to noisy measurements of sensor data. In our approach, we train an object detector to expose room shapes

    We present the first active learning tool for fine-grained 3D part labeling, a problem which challenges even the most advanced deep learning (DL) methods due to the significant structural variations among the intricate parts. For the same reason, the necessary effort to annotate training data is tremendous, motivating approaches to minimize human involvement. Our labeling tool iteratively verifies or modifies
  • Conformer-based end-to-end automatic speech recognition (ASR) models have gained popularity in recent years due to their exceptional performance at scale. However, there are significant computation, memory and latency costs associated with running inference on such models. With the aim of mitigating these issues, we evaluate the efficacy of pruning Conformer layers while fine-tuning only on 20% of the data
  • We study algorithms for online change-point detection (OCPD), where samples that are potentially heavy-tailed, are presented one at a time and a change in the underlying mean must be detected as early as possible. We present an algorithm based on clipped Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD), that works even if we only assume that the second moment of the data generating process is bounded. We derive guarantees
