Training Socially Engaging Robots: Modeling Backchannel Behaviors with Batch Reinforcement Learning
TL;DR: In this paper , a sequential random deep Q-network (SRDQN) was proposed to learn a policy for backchannel generation, which explicitly maximizes user engagement, and the proposed method outperforms the existing vanilla Q-learning methods when evaluated using off-policy policy evaluation techniques.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Statistical score fusion for 3D object retrieval
TL;DR: A fusion algorithm that linearly combines similarity information originating from multiple shape descriptors is presented that learns the optimal set of weights in the linear combination by minimizing the emprical ranking risk.
Multimodal Recognition for Human−Vehicle Interaction
TL;DR: A proposed framework for achieving person recognition successfully combines differentbiometric modalities is proposed,borne out in twocase studies.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
3D Isometric shape correspondence
Yusuf Sahillioglu,Yücel Yemez +1 more
TL;DR: An automatic method is presented that finds the optimal correspondence between two given (nearly) isometric shapes by minimizing the amount of deviation from isometry by optimizing the isometry error in two steps.
3D Model Retrieval Using Probability
TL;DR: The proposed shape description framework characterizes a 3D object with sampled multivariate probability density functions of its local surface features with state-of-the-art discrimination over a broad and heterogeneous set of shape categories.
