[SAIF 2019] Day 2: Supersizing and Empowering Visual and Robot Learning – Abhinav Gupta│Samsung

Supersizing and Empowering Visual and Robot Learning Abstract: In the last decade, we have made significant advances in the field of computer vision thanks to supervised learning. But this passive supervision of our models has now become our biggest bottleneck. In this talk, I will discuss our efforts towards scaling up and empowering visual learning. First, I will show how the amount of labeled data is a crucial factor in learning. I will then describe how we can overcome the passive supervision bottleneck by self-supervised learning. Next, I will discuss how embodiment is crucial for learning – our agents live in the physical world and need the ability to interact in the physical world. Towards this goal, I will finally present our efforts in large-scale learning of embodied agents in robotics. Finally, I will discuss how we can move from passive supervision to active exploration – the ability of agents to create their own training data.
