密切的人类机器人互动（HRI），尤其是在工业场景中，已经对结合人类和机器人技能的优势进行了广泛的研究。对于有效的HRI，应质疑当前可用的人机通信媒体或工具的有效性，并应探讨新的交流方式。本文提出了一个模块化体系结构，允许人类操作员通过不同的方式与机器人互动。特别是，我们使用智能手表和平板电脑分别实施了架构来分别处理手势和触摸屏输入。最后，我们在这两种方式之间进行了比较用户体验研究。

在以前的工作中，我们提出了一种学习深层神经网络的几何框架，作为歧管之间的地图序列，采用奇异的黎曼几何形状。在本文中，我们介绍了该框架的应用，提出了一种建立输入点的等价等级的方法：将这种类定义为输入歧管上的点上的点，由神经网络映射到相同的输出。换句话说，我们在输入空间中构建输出歧管中的点的预测。特别是。我们在N维实际空间的神经网络映射到（N-1） - 二维实际空间的情况下，我们专注于简单，我们提出了一种算法，允许构建位于同一类等效等级的一组点。这种方法导致两个主要应用：新的合成数据的产生，它可以对分类器如何通过输入数据的小扰动来混淆一些洞察（例如，分类为包含奇瓦瓦狗的图像）。此外，对于从2D到1D实际空间的神经网络，我们还讨论了如何找到实际线路的封闭间隔的疑望。我们还提供了一些具有训练的神经网络的数值实验，以执行非线性回归任务，包括二进制分类器的情况。

深度神经网络被广泛用于解决多个科学领域的复杂问题，例如语音识别，机器翻译，图像分析。用于研究其理论特性的策略主要依赖于欧几里得的几何形状，但是在过去的几年中，已经开发了基于Riemannian几何形状的新方法。在某些开放问题的动机中，我们研究了歧管之间的特定地图序列，该序列的最后一个歧管配备了riemannian指标。我们研究了序列的其他歧管和某些相关商的结构引起的槽撤回。特别是，我们表明，最终的riemannian度量的回调到该序列的任何歧管是一个退化的riemannian度量，诱导了伪模空间的结构，我们表明，该伪仪的kolmogorov商均产生了平滑的歧管，这是基础的，这是基础，这是基础的基础。特定垂直束的空间。我们研究了此类序列图的理论属性，最终我们着重于实施实际关注神经网络的流形之间的地图，并介绍了本文第一部分中引入的几何框架的某些应用。

Real-world robotic grasping can be done robustly if a complete 3D Point Cloud Data (PCD) of an object is available. However, in practice, PCDs are often incomplete when objects are viewed from few and sparse viewpoints before the grasping action, leading to the generation of wrong or inaccurate grasp poses. We propose a novel grasping strategy, named 3DSGrasp, that predicts the missing geometry from the partial PCD to produce reliable grasp poses. Our proposed PCD completion network is a Transformer-based encoder-decoder network with an Offset-Attention layer. Our network is inherently invariant to the object pose and point's permutation, which generates PCDs that are geometrically consistent and completed properly. Experiments on a wide range of partial PCD show that 3DSGrasp outperforms the best state-of-the-art method on PCD completion tasks and largely improves the grasping success rate in real-world scenarios. The code and dataset will be made available upon acceptance.

Data scarcity is one of the main issues with the end-to-end approach for Speech Translation, as compared to the cascaded one. Although most data resources for Speech Translation are originally document-level, they offer a sentence-level view, which can be directly used during training. But this sentence-level view is single and static, potentially limiting the utility of the data. Our proposed data augmentation method SegAugment challenges this idea and aims to increase data availability by providing multiple alternative sentence-level views of a dataset. Our method heavily relies on an Audio Segmentation system to re-segment the speech of each document, after which we obtain the target text with alignment methods. The Audio Segmentation system can be parameterized with different length constraints, thus giving us access to multiple and diverse sentence-level views for each document. Experiments in MuST-C show consistent gains across 8 language pairs, with an average increase of 2.2 BLEU points, and up to 4.7 BLEU for lower-resource scenarios in mTEDx. Additionally, we find that SegAugment is also applicable to purely sentence-level data, as in CoVoST, and that it enables Speech Translation models to completely close the gap between the gold and automatic segmentation at inference time.

While the problem of hallucinations in neural machine translation has long been recognized, so far the progress on its alleviation is very little. Indeed, recently it turned out that without artificially encouraging models to hallucinate, previously existing methods fall short and even the standard sequence log-probability is more informative. It means that characteristics internal to the model can give much more information than we expect, and before using external models and measures, we first need to ask: how far can we go if we use nothing but the translation model itself ? We propose to use a method that evaluates the percentage of the source contribution to a generated translation. Intuitively, hallucinations are translations "detached" from the source, hence they can be identified by low source contribution. This method improves detection accuracy for the most severe hallucinations by a factor of 2 and is able to alleviate hallucinations at test time on par with the previous best approach that relies on external models. Next, if we move away from internal model characteristics and allow external tools, we show that using sentence similarity from cross-lingual embeddings further improves these results.

End-to-End speech-to-speech translation (S2ST) is generally evaluated with text-based metrics. This means that generated speech has to be automatically transcribed, making the evaluation dependent on the availability and quality of automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems. In this paper, we propose a text-free evaluation metric for end-to-end S2ST, named BLASER, to avoid the dependency on ASR systems. BLASER leverages a multilingual multimodal encoder to directly encode the speech segments for source input, translation output and reference into a shared embedding space and computes a score of the translation quality that can be used as a proxy to human evaluation. To evaluate our approach, we construct training and evaluation sets from more than 40k human annotations covering seven language directions. The best results of BLASER are achieved by training with supervision from human rating scores. We show that when evaluated at the sentence level, BLASER correlates significantly better with human judgment compared to ASR-dependent metrics including ASR-SENTBLEU in all translation directions and ASR-COMET in five of them. Our analysis shows combining speech and text as inputs to BLASER does not increase the correlation with human scores, but best correlations are achieved when using speech, which motivates the goal of our research. Moreover, we show that using ASR for references is detrimental for text-based metrics.

Recent works have investigated the role of graph bottlenecks in preventing long-range information propagation in message-passing graph neural networks, causing the so-called `over-squashing' phenomenon. As a remedy, graph rewiring mechanisms have been proposed as preprocessing steps. Graph Echo State Networks (GESNs) are a reservoir computing model for graphs, where node embeddings are recursively computed by an untrained message-passing function. In this paper, we show that GESNs can achieve a significantly better accuracy on six heterophilic node classification tasks without altering the graph connectivity, thus suggesting a different route for addressing the over-squashing problem.

This paper presents the development of a system able to estimate the 2D relative position of nodes in a wireless network, based on distance measurements between the nodes. The system uses ultra wide band ranging technology and the Bluetooth Low Energy protocol to acquire data. Furthermore, a nonlinear least squares problem is formulated and solved numerically for estimating the relative positions of the nodes. The localization performance of the system is validated by experimental tests, demonstrating the capability of measuring the relative position of a network comprised of 4 nodes with an accuracy of the order of 3 cm and an update rate of 10 Hz. This shows the feasibility of applying the proposed system for multi-robot cooperative localization and formation control scenarios.

Recent 3D-aware GANs rely on volumetric rendering techniques to disentangle the pose and appearance of objects, de facto generating entire 3D volumes rather than single-view 2D images from a latent code. Complex image editing tasks can be performed in standard 2D-based GANs (e.g., StyleGAN models) as manipulation of latent dimensions. However, to the best of our knowledge, similar properties have only been partially explored for 3D-aware GAN models. This work aims to fill this gap by showing the limitations of existing methods and proposing LatentSwap3D, a model-agnostic approach designed to enable attribute editing in the latent space of pre-trained 3D-aware GANs. We first identify the most relevant dimensions in the latent space of the model controlling the targeted attribute by relying on the feature importance ranking of a random forest classifier. Then, to apply the transformation, we swap the top-K most relevant latent dimensions of the image being edited with an image exhibiting the desired attribute. Despite its simplicity, LatentSwap3D provides remarkable semantic edits in a disentangled manner and outperforms alternative approaches both qualitatively and quantitatively. We demonstrate our semantic edit approach on various 3D-aware generative models such as pi-GAN, GIRAFFE, StyleSDF, MVCGAN, EG3D and VolumeGAN, and on diverse datasets, such as FFHQ, AFHQ, Cats, MetFaces, and CompCars.
