Lost! Leveraging the Crowd for Probabilistic Visual Self-Localization
In this paper we propose an affordable solution to selflocalization, which utilizes visual odometry and road maps as the only inputs. To this end, we present a probabilistic model as well as an efficient approximate inference algorithm, which is able to utilize distributed computation to meet the real-time requirements of autonomous systems. Because of the probabilistic nature of the model we are able to cope with uncertainty due to noisy visual odometry and inherent ambiguities in the map (e.g., in a Manhattan world). By exploiting freely available, community developed maps and visual odometry measurements, we are able to localize a vehicle up to 3m after only a few seconds of driving on maps which contain more than 2,150km of drivable roads.

Probabilistic Multigraph Modeling for Improving the Quality of Crowdsourced Affective Data
We proposed a probabilistic approach to joint modeling of participants' reliability and humans' regularity in crowdsourced affective studies. Reliability measures how likely a subject will respond to a question seriously…
SEED: Towards More Accurate Semantic Evaluation for Visual Brain Decoding
We present SEED (\textbf{Se}mantic \textbf{E}valuation for Visual Brain \textbf{D}ecoding), a novel metric for evaluating the semantic decoding performance of visual brain decoding models. It integrates three complementa…
