Learning representations of neural network weights given a model zoo is an emerging and challenging area with many potential applications from model inspection, to neural architecture search or knowledge distillation. Recently, an autoencoder trained on a model zoo was able to learn a hyper-representation, which captures intrinsic and extrinsic properties of the models in the zoo. In this work, we extend hyper-representations for generative use to sample new model weights as pre-training. We propose layer-wise loss normalization which we demonstrate is key to generate high-performing models and a sampling method based on the empirical density of hyper-representations. The models generated using our methods are diverse, performant and capable to outperform conventional baselines for transfer learning. Our results indicate the potential of knowledge aggregation from model zoos to new models via hyper-representations thereby paving the avenue for novel research directions.

In the last years, neural networks (NN) have evolved from laboratory environments to the state-of-the-art for many real-world problems. It was shown that NN models (i.e., their weights and biases) evolve on unique trajectories in weight space during training. Following, a population of such neural network models (referred to as model zoo) would form structures in weight space. We think that the geometry, curvature and smoothness of these structures contain information about the state of training and can reveal latent properties of individual models. With such model zoos, one could investigate novel approaches for (i) model analysis, (ii) discover unknown learning dynamics, (iii) learn rich representations of such populations, or (iv) exploit the model zoos for generative modelling of NN weights and biases. Unfortunately, the lack of standardized model zoos and available benchmarks significantly increases the friction for further research about populations of NNs. With this work, we publish a novel dataset of model zoos containing systematically generated and diverse populations of NN models for further research. In total the proposed model zoo dataset is based on eight image datasets, consists of 27 model zoos trained with varying hyperparameter combinations and includes 50{\textquoteright}360 unique NN models as well as their sparsified twins, resulting in over 3,844,360 collected model states.

The task of video object segmentation with referring expressions (language-guided VOS) is to, given a linguistic phrase and a video, generate binary masks for the object to which the phrase refers. Our work argues that existing benchmarks used for this task are mainly composed of trivial cases, in which referents can be identified with simple phrases. Our analysis relies on a new categorization of the phrases in the DAVIS-2017 and Actor-Action datasets into trivial and non-trivial REs, with the non-trivial REs annotated with seven RE semantic categories. We leverage this data to analyze the results of RefVOS, a novel neural network that obtains competitive results for the task of language-guided image segmentation and state of the art results for language-guided VOS. Our study indicates that the major challenges for the task are related to understanding motion and static actions.

The 8th Edition of the American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system1 is the current standard for classifying patients into prognostic and treatment groups. This classification is used to predict the evolution of the patient, and therefore treatment actions provided to the individual. However, patients at the same stage behave differently, indicating that the current classification system is often insufficient to provide a customized prognosis for each patient2. It is, therefore, necessary to improve patient classification into prognostic groups. Furthermore, patients{\textquoteright} systemic and surgical treatments often involve significant toxicities and morbidities that impact their quality of life (i.e., sentinel node biopsy is not needed for 80\% of the melanoma patients, 50\% of patients do not benefit from adjuvant treatment)3. Therefore, melanoma patients should benefit from a more precise risk estimation.

We create a survival dataset for melanoma risk estimation and train survival XGBoost algorithms4 to predict the mortality, relapse, and metastasis risk. We compare their performance to the AJCC 2018 risk stratification system. Furthermore, we train classifiers to predict the risk of a positive lymph node biopsy and distant metastasis on melanoma patients and compare the performance of the proposed system to the clinical practice.

Recent advances in deep learning have brought significant progress in visual grounding tasks such as language-guided video object segmentation. However, collecting large datasets for these tasks is expensive in terms of annotation time, which represents a bottleneck. To this end, in our work we propose a novel method, namely SynthRef, for generating synthetic referring expressions for an image (or video frame), and we also present and disseminate the first large-scale dataset with synthetic referring expressions for video object segmentation. Our experiments demonstrate that by training with our synthetic dataset one can improve the ability of a model to generalize across different datasets, without any additional annotation cost. Moreover, our formulation allows its application to any object detection or segmentation dataset.

Integrating computer vision with natural language processing has achieved significant progress over the last years owing to the continuous evolution of deep learning. A novel vision and language task, which is tackled in the present Master thesis is referring video object segmentation, in which a language query defines which instance to segment from a video sequence. One of the biggest chal- lenges for this task is the lack of relatively large annotated datasets since a tremendous amount of time and human effort is required for annotation. Moreover, existing datasets suffer from poor qual- ity annotations in the sense that approximately one out of ten language expressions fails to uniquely describe the target object.

The purpose of the present Master thesis is to address these challenges by proposing a novel method for generating synthetic referring expressions for an image (video frame). This method pro- duces synthetic referring expressions by using only the ground-truth annotations of the objects as well as their attributes, which are detected by a state-of-the-art object detection deep neural network. One of the advantages of the proposed method is that its formulation allows its application to any object detection or segmentation dataset.

By using the proposed method, the first large-scale dataset with synthetic referring expressions for video object segmentation is created, based on an existing large benchmark dataset for video instance segmentation. A statistical analysis and comparison of the created synthetic dataset with existing ones is also provided in the present Master thesis.

The conducted experiments on three different datasets used for referring video object segmen- tation prove the efficiency of the generated synthetic data. More specifically, the obtained results demonstrate that by pre-training a deep neural network with the proposed synthetic dataset one can improve the ability of the network to generalize across different datasets, without any additional an- notation cost. This outcome is even more important taking into account that no additional annotation cost is involved.

Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X), the most advanced fusion experiment in the stellarator line, aims at demonstrating the feasibility of the stellarator concept as a future fusion power plant. It is planned to restart operation by the end of 2021 with a high heat flux divertor and water-cooled plasma facing components (PFCs) to demonstrate steady-state operation. With plasma energy limits starting at 1 GJ and gradually increasing to 18 GJ over several experimental campaigns, the PFCs have to be protected from overheating. For that, a fully autonomous system is required in order to prevent damage to the plasma facing components due to thermal events.
During the last experimental campaign, when W7-X was equipped with inertially cooled test divertor units, extensive experience was gained with the preliminary design of the thermal event detection system. By then, the system was not yet real-time capable and it was not fully automated, requiring manual supervision between discharges. This experience, however, allowed to prove the validity of some design concepts and to define the new strategy towards the protection of the machine in steady-state operation, when the system will be connected to the Interlock System and the feedback control.
In this work, the design of the real-time thermal event detection system for W7-X for steady-state operation is presented. The system is based on the thermography and video diagnostics to monitor the divertor units, the baffles, and the wall heat-shields and panels. It will be implemented on a real-time system and integrated in CoDaC{\textquoteright}s safety infrastructure. The system relies on computer vision and machine learning techniques to perform a spatio-temporal analysis to detect and classify the thermal events and to perform a risk evaluation. The results and the main conclusions drawn from the analysis of the data from the past campaign are reported.

Additionally, methods were ranked on their\ inter-scanner robustness.\ Twenty participants submitted their method for evaluation.\ This paper provides a detailed analysis of the results. In brief,there is a cluster of four methods that rank significantly better\ than the other methods.

The segmentation of remotely sensed images acquired over tropical forests is of great interest for numerous ecological applications, such as forest inventories or conservation and management of ecosystems, for which species classification techniques and estimation of the number of individuals are highly valuable inputs. In this paper, we propose a method for hyperspectral image segmentation, based on the binary partition tree (BPT) algorithm, and we apply it to two sites located in Hawaiian and Panamean tropical rainforests. Different strategies combining spatial and spectral dimensionality reduction are compared prior to the construction of the BPT. Various superpixel generation methods including watershed transformation and mean shift clustering are applied to decrease spatial dimensionality and provide an initial segmentation map. Principal component analysis is performed to reduce the spectral dimensionality and different combinations of principal components are compared. A non-parametric region model based on histograms, combined with the diffusion distance to merge regions, is used to build the BPT. An adapted pruning strategy based on the size discontinuity of the merging regions is proposed and compared with an already existing pruning strategy. Finally, a set of criteria to assess the quality of the tree segmentation is introduced. The proposed method correctly segmented up to 68\% of the tree crowns and produced reasonable patterns of the segmented landscapes.

The appearance of new immersive TV content has increased the interactive possibilities presented to the viewers. Increased interactivity is seen as a valuable feature in viewing richer television content, but new functionalities are limited by what can be done naturally and intuitively using available devices like remote controls.

In this work we begin uncovering the potential and challenges of gesture interaction with ultra high definition video for people watching TV together. As a first step we have done a study with a group of people interacting with such content using a gesture-based system in the home environment.

The media industry is currently being pulled in the often-opposing directions of increased realism (high resolution, stereoscopic, large screen) and personalization (selection and control of content, availability on many devices). We investigate the feasibility of an end-to-end format-agnostic approach to support both these trends. In this paper, different aspects of a format- agnostic capture, production, delivery and rendering system are discussed. At the capture stage, the concept of layered scene representation is introduced, including panoramic video and 3D audio capture. At the analysis stage, a virtual director component is discussed that allows for automatic execution of cinematographic principles, using feature tracking and saliency detection. At the delivery stage, resolution-independent audiovisual transport mechanisms for both managed and unmanaged networks are treated. In the rendering stage, a rendering process that includes the manipulation of audiovisual content to match the connected display and loudspeaker properties is introduced. Different parts of the complete system are revisited demonstrating the requirements and the potential of this advanced concept.

This paper presents a variational framework for obtaining super-resolved video-sequences, based on the observation that reconstruction-based Super-Resolution (SR) algorithms are limited by two factors: registration exactitude and Point Spread Function (PSF) estimation accuracy.\ To minimize the impact of the first limiting factor, a small-scale linear inpainting algorithm is proposed to provide smooth SR video frames.\ To improve the second limiting factor, a fast PSF local estimation and total variation-based denoising is proposed. Experimental results reflect the improvements provided by the proposed method when compared to classic SR approaches.

It is a common experience in our modern world, for us humans to be overwhelmed by the complexities of technological artifacts around us, and by the attention they demand. While technology provides wonderful support and helpful assistance, it also causes an increased preoccupation with technology itself and a related fragmentation of attention. But as humans, we would rather attend to a meaningful dialog and interaction with other humans, than to control the operations of machines that serve us. The cause for such complexity and distraction, however, is a natural consequence of the flexibility and choice of functions and features that technology has to offer. Thus flexibility of choice and the availability of desirable functions are in conflict with ease of use and our very ability to enjoy their benefits.\
