Media dissertation at ED - university presidium decides on new type of doctorate

Projects, Research | 21-03-23

Research is media-based as soon as an artifact forms the basis of scientific investigation ("Research Through Design"). The goal of the research, and at the same time the design process, is to gain new knowledge in subject areas relevant to the design discipline. The knowledge gained by a media dissertation thus extends beyond the knowledge inherent in the media by explicitly naming and reflecting it.

With the introduction of the media dissertation at the ED, a new possibility of transferring design practices into research methods opens up in the fields of architecture, art and design teaching and research. Especially in design teaching, the documentation of media-based research serves as quality assurance. Through media dissertations, design processes can be shared and discussed and thus made accessible to international academia.

The medium of the dissertation can be chosen freely and - like the format of the work - it can be developed independently and agreed upon with the supervisors. In line with international standards, both the written and the media part of the dissertation can account for a share of 30 percent to 70 percent each.

Regardless of its form, the media dissertation must demonstrate the doctoral candidate's ability to work independently and scientifically and to present their results clearly. Further, the thesis should make its own, new, continuing and inherently coherent scientific contribution. Furthermore, the permanent and therefore quotable documentation of the chosen media must be ensured, which can be realized e.g. by video files, audio recordings or photo documentations.

Diffusion Model-based Imitation Learning for Robot Manipulation Task

Description.

Diffusion models are powerful generative models that enable many successful applications, such as image, video, and 3D generation from texts. It's inspired by non-equilibrium thermodynamics, which defines a Markov chain of diffusion steps to slowly add random noise to data and then learn to reverse the diffusion process to construct desired data samples from the noise. 

In this work, we aim to explore the application of the diffusion model or its variants in imitation learning and evaluate it on the real-world Franka robot arm.

Prerequisites

In this thesis, approaches for translating synthetic images of Hand-Object Interactions to realistic ones should be investigated. Some examples of synthetic images and their real counterparts can be viewed: https://github.com/wetoo-cando/blender-hoisynth

The following approaches may be employed:

• Diffusion models
• Neural network-based Image-to-Image translation, e.g. http://opencas.dkfz.de/image2image/
• Differential rendering, e.g. The Mitsuba renderer https://mitsuba.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

BA , IDP : Comparative study of various hand-tracking approaches for Hand-Object Interaction in VR

Comparative study of various hand-tracking approaches for hand-object interaction in vr.

In this thesis, various hand-tracking approaches should be evaluated  and compared for Hand-Object Interaction in Virtual Reality.

MA , FP : Radar-based Material Classification

Radar-based material classification.

The work focuses on radar-based material classification. Due to the rapid development of autonomous driving technology, drones, home robots, and various smart devices in recent years, material sensing has received more attention. Millimeter-wave radar has been widely installed on these platforms due to its low price and robustness in harsh environments. Therefore, in this work, we will study methods for classifying some common indoor materials using millimeter wave radar signals.

In this work, we will collect radar signals from some common indoor materials such as wood, metal, glass, etc. After obtaining the required features through radar signal processing methods, we will use some machine learning algorithms to classify the materials. 

• Programming in Python

MA , FP : Ensuring Visual Coherency in LDMs

Ensuring visual coherency in ldms.

Generative AI models are demonstrating strong performance in various domains. Models such as Stable Diffusion, trained using billions of images, are capable of generating highly realistic images based on text prompts or input images. Using either multiple text descriptions or images as input, completely different visual styles can be combined. However, the results are not always visually pleasing or coherent. A common approach is to experiment with different prompts or input images until the desired visual result is achieved. This is a slow and manual method that potentially wastes significant computing resources. Instead of generating images and then assessing their visual coherence by inspection, this thesis is focused on automatically assessing the likelihood of pleasing visual results from the input alone. Specifically, we will focus on assessing the compatibility of inputs for the open-source image generation model Stable Diffusion. For this, different text or image inputs are encoded into latent space and analyzed regarding their compatibility. A method needs to be developed that assesses the compatibility of the different inputs. Different metrics such as cosine similarity, FID, or Image Aesthetic Assessment (IAA) methods such as the CLIP score  can be used as a starting point. After assigning the input an aesthetic score, the same method should then be used to identify potential changes of the input to increase the predicted aesthetic. The goal of this work is to allow for designing inputs that contain the desired visual concepts, while maximizing the likelihood of visually pleasing and coherent outputs. This thesis will be conducted externally at Sureel Inc., a startup specializing in secure and legal generative AI content.

MA : Equivariant 3D Object Detection

Equivariant 3d object detection.

The thesis focuses on the application of equivariant deep learning techniques for 3D object detection in indoor scenes. Indoor environments, such as homes, offices, and industrial settings, present unique challenges for 3D object detection due to diverse object arrangements, varying lighting conditions, and occlusions. Traditional methods often struggle with these complexities, leading to suboptimal performance. The motivation for this research is to enhance the robustness and accuracy of 3D object detection in these environments, leveraging the inherent advantages of equivariant deep learning. This approach aims to improve the model's ability to recognize objects regardless of their orientation and position in the scene, which is crucial for applications in robotics, or augmented reality. 

The thesis proposes the development of a deep learning model that incorporates equivariant neural networks for 3D object detection, such as the equivariant framework proposed in [1]. The proposed model will be evaluated on a benchmark 3D indoor dataset, such as the Stanford 3D Indoor Spaces Dataset (S3DIS) or the ScanNet dataset [2, 3].

MA , IDP , FP : NeRF for Hand-Object Interactions

Nerf for hand-object interactions.

The goal of this work is to develop a framework for fitting a Neural Radiance Field (NeRF) for hand-object interaction sequences while parametrizing the hand and object poses. 

The task could be described as follows:

Given a sequence of calibrated and synchronized multi-view RGB videos for two hands interacting with an object, along with the ground truth poses. We need to fit a NeRF network to the interaction sequence where the poses are fed as part of the input parameters.

The goal is to be able to synthesize novel poses that are similar to the input by altering the input pose parameters.

Basic Requirements

• Basic Knowledge of deep learning
• Python, PyTorch

Nice to Have:

• Knowledge about 3D computer vision or computer graphics.
• Familiarity with 3D deep learning libraries (Pytorch3D or Kaolin)

MA , FP : 3D Hand-Object Reconstruction from monocular RGB images

3d hand-object reconstruction from monocular rgb images.

Understanding human hand and object interaction is fundamental for meaningfully interpreting human action and behavior.

With the advent of deep learning and RGB-D sensors, pose estimation of isolated hands or objects has made significant progress.

However, despite a strong link to real applications such as augmented and virtual reality, joint reconstruction of hand and object has received relatively less attention.

This task focuses on accurately reconstructing hand-object interactions in three-dimensional space, given a single RGB image.

Features of the macrostructure and microstructure of uranium dioxide powders are considered. Assumptions are made on the mechanisms of the behavior of powders of various natures during pelletizing. Experimental data that reflect the effect of these powders on the quality of fuel pellets, which is evaluated by modern procedures, are presented. To investigate the structure of the powders, modern methods of electron microscopy, helium pycnometry, etc., are used. The presented results indicate the disadvantages of wet methods for obtaining the starting UO 2 powders by the ammonium diuranate (ADU) flow sheet because strong agglomerates and conglomerates, which complicate the process of pelletizing, are formed. The main directions of investigation that can lead to understanding the regularities of formation of the structure of starting UO 2 powders, which will allow one to control the process of their fabrication and stabilize the properties of powders and pellets, are emphasized.

Shares in Trump Media tumble after filings reveal a $58m loss last year

The company debuted on the stock market last week, offering Trump a ray of hope amid pending financial woes.

Shares in former President Donald Trump’s Trump Media & Technology Group surged last week after debuting on the stock market in the United States.

But a disclosure that the company lost nearly $58.2m in 2023 has sent those stocks tumbling, dropping by 23 percent as of Monday.

The volatile first week, which came in the wake of a merger with the shell company Digital World Acquisition Corp, underscored the unpredictability of a venture that the former president may be relying on for financial salvation.

Trump faces mounting legal penalties and court costs , as he contends with four criminal indictments and a slate of civil cases. He is also running for president in November’s election, and legal fees are reportedly draining his campaign coffers.

Trump Media’s stock made a strong debut on March 26, fuelled by retail buyers, including some supporters of the former president. It closed up 16 percent at nearly $58 a share on its first day of trading.

However, Monday’s disclosure saw shares fall by $14.45 to $47.51.

The disclosure is part of an 8-K filing to the federal Security and Exchange Commission (SEC), designed to update shareholders about recent events affecting the company and its stock.

The resulting stock plunge arrives at a critical juncture for Trump, who faces a looming deadline to pay a $175m bond in a New York civil fraud case.

His defence team had argued that the initial $464m bond was too high — and the former president would be unable to find underwriters to post that sum. The amount was lowered upon appeal.

Last week’s Trump Media merger offered some hope, however, for an eventual infusion of cash. The deal was estimated to raise Trump’s net worth by as much as $3bn, although he is unable to sell his shares until six months after the deal.

Still, experts said the theoretical rise in value could help Trump’s team persuade a company to underwrite his bonds going forward.

Trump has said he will pay the $175m bond by Thursday’s deadline, although he has not yet done so.

New York Attorney General Letitia James has said her office is prepared to begin seizing Trump’s assets if he does not pay.

Last month, Trump also posted a bond of more than $91m, as he appeals a defamation judgement in a case brought by writer E Jean Carroll.

Even with the decline in Trump Media’s stock, the company still had a market value of $6.3bn on Monday, and Trump is set to own between 58 percent and 69 percent of the company.

The company remains embroiled in a separate legal battle with its co-founders, Wesley Moss and Andrew Litinsky. They accuse Trump Media of trying to improperly dilute their stake.

The company, however, has said the pair failed to earn their shares. It seeks to strip them of their ownership and wants a judge to declare they had no right to appoint two board members.

Trump Media owns the social media platform Truth Social, which Trump co-founded in 2021 after he was suspended from apps like Twitter, now known as X.
