The US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted NVISO SA patent number US11,048,921 that covers an automated method for assessing a behavioural profile of an individual based on image processing specific to a hypothetical or actual event.This is an important step towards humanizing autonomous machines that can sense, comprehend, and act upon human behaviour in real-...

Data Augmentation: From Hand-Crafting to Generative Models In this talk, we will take a close look at strategies for data augmentation in machine learning. While data augmentation started out as a set of simple transformations in Computer Vision, it has grown into its own field of investigation, including fields such as NLP and Robotics. Modern approaches rely on diverse a...

Reservoir Computing: Fast Deep Learning for Sequences Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) represent the reference class of Deep Learning models for learning from sequential data. Despite the widespread success, a major downside of RNNs and commonly derived ‘gating’ variants (LSTM, GRU) is given by the high cost of the involved training algorithms. In this context, an incr...
