Machine Learning R&D

  • Twitter Global Class Bias

    Submission to the first Twitter Algorithmic Bias Challenge. We tested Twitter's image thumbnail cropping algorithm for images of cheap versus expensive objects, using the income labels as a proxy in the dataset of Dollar Street. We found that the algorithm is biased towards cheap rooms and spaces and expensive objects. See the report on the detailed findings.

  • Online Safety

    Our latest paper (which was featured in the 'Best of ICCV 2023’ magazine) was related to ML-assisted labelling for Online Safety, exploiting LLMs and image models for video classification.

  • Responsible AI

    Overview of the Artificial Intelligence, Ethics and Society 2022 conference themes and an analysis of the university/company and country representations at the conference, pursuing the question:

    Are we biased while talking bias?

  • AI-Assisted Communication

    This award-winning project involved developing a wearable augmented reality tool assisting patients suffering from speech and motor control impairment. At its core, the tool included an ML model that generates text from pictorial series which they select using the tool.
    Awards won:
    2014 - Award of the Challenge Handicap & Technologies 2014 - Reseau Telepresence system Nouvelles Technologies APF conference in Lille, France
    2014 - Best Student Video Award at AAAI Video Competition

  • Mixed Reality for Dementia Patients

    With the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) we worked on the Kognit project: Cognitive Models and Mixed Reality for Dementia Patients.

  • MediaWiki for European Robotic Surgery

    MediaWiki collaborative content management system in the EuRoSurge (European Robotic Surgery) Project. It won the Third Prize at the National Conference of Student’s Scholarly Circles (OTDK) in 2013.

  • EmbEval

    A Python toolkit for transparent and interpretable evaluation of Embeddings of different sources and modalities.

  • MMFeat Flickr API

    Python Flickr API for image search for the mmfeat github project. It is a Python toolkit aiming to make it easier for researchers to use multi-modal features. Both image and sound (i.e., visual and auditory representations) are supported.

  • ConceptGame

    Concept Game is a two-player collaborative game, where players guess the concept for a list of words. It is similar to the famous gamified data collection game ESP Game but with word clusters instead of images.
