sparsity and density variation, non-Euclidean geometry, and high dimensionality. Unlike 2D approaches, which overlook real-world complexities, 3D deep learning leverages point clouds and depth images to capture rich spatial information unavailable in classic RGB images. This enables spatial reasoning and fine-grained interactions crucial for robotic tasks such as grasping and object manipulation. In autonomous driving, 3D deep learning is particularly valuable, processing LiDAR data to capture precise spatial information about the environment. Our goal is to design smart models to face tasks such as 3D object recognition, segmentation, generation, and completion as well as pose estimation, registration, and

Our research on Robot Learning aims to develop the next generation of data-driven algorithms for embodied systems \u2014 such as robotic arms \u2014 to effectively scale the complexity of tasks to, and beyond, human capabilities. This objective includes allowing robots to reason like humans in terms of task planning, encouraging human-like behavior when solving a task for better cooperation, and being able to generalize and adapt to different tasks, environments, and dynamics.

and temporal reasoning about the available multi-modal content, as well as structured reasoning about the high-level patterns behind human activities. In particular, egocentric videos offer a privileged first-person point of view to understand how biological agents act, which is then essential to transfer knowledge to robots. At the same time, egocentric videos come with several key challenges as head motion, occlusions, and data scarcity which make it a very challenging setting. Our work in this area aims at pushing research boundaries toward models able to manage such complex scenarios and lay the foundations for life-long-learning artificial agents.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

devices. A place can be defined in different ways. For instance, Landmark Retrieval aims to search for the most similar sample in a database of annotated landmark images. This enables recognizing the name of the testing landmark but its coordinates are usually not considered. In Visual Geolocalization instead, the goal is to estimate the coordinates (e.g., GPS or UTM) where a picture was taken, based solely on visual clues. In urban applications, the expected accuracy is in the range of meters (typically 25 meters). Even this task is usually cast as an Image Retrieval problem, where the query to be localized is compared to a database of geotagged images, exploiting a representation extracted with a neural network. We are interested in developing accurate and efficient models to manage visual place recognition and geolocalization at a large scale for real-world city-wide applications.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section

architectures: the advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) has marked a new chapter for conversational agents like ChatGPT, but also introduced real challenges in training and serving such solutions for real-world applications. Therefore, scaling data and computing power are crucial for successful training, but speed-up scaling laws are not going to cope forever with the limits of current algorithms and architectures. Moreover, the centralized training paradigm no longer matches the needs of modern applications, which elaborate on heterogeneous data often scattered across large networks. We investigate the problem of distributed and federated learning of deep neural networks, aiming to develop novel fully decentralized algorithms and model architectures that meet the demands of next-generation deep learning applications.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-443dff7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"443dff7\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-839eebd\" data-id=\"839eebd\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8bdba38\" data-id=\"8bdba38\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3374919 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3374919\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Trustworthy and Fair AI models<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1d4aa22 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1d4aa22\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1ed0c02\" data-id=\"1ed0c02\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ebe2833 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ebe2833\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vandal.polito.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/fairness.gif\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-da5475b\" data-id=\"da5475b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6f38edd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6f38edd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The widespread adoption of AI systems in decision-making processes has underscored the urgent need to ensure reliability and fairness. Studying model accuracy is not enough as the overall performance may hide the use of spurious correlations in the data which cause biased predictions with high-impact consequences on society. Moreover, to flawlessly move algorithms out of lab environments, we should make sure their performance remains consistent and dependable across diverse scenarios, even in the presence of novel conditions unpredictable at training time. These premises indicate a clear need for trustworthy models assessed under different metrics and possibly coming with confidence guarantees. Our work focuses on vision and multi-modal learning approaches that incorporate fairness-aware strategies, robust evaluation frameworks, and tailored techniques for adaptation, robustness, and transparency.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ABOUT US The &lt;strong&gt;Visual and Multimodal Applied Learning Lab (VANDAL)&lt;\/strong&gt; focuses on developing innovative, robust, and efficient machine learning models that process and integrate visual and multi-modal signals.
