Title: An Adaptive Approach to Human-Machine Collaborative 3D Perception
Speaker: Ze’Ev Krischer
Abstract:
3D Perception models perform well in-distribution but tend to be fragile and degrade in new domains, collecting enough labelled data to fix this problem can be expensive. Many of these domains have human experts that could be used to fill the gap, but most systems either ignore them or their input as implicitly correct by default. Instead, our system realistically treats the human as a collaborator that is capable of making mistakes and considers how the AI system should adapt to achieve the best combined performance. In this talk I’ll walk through the system and demonstrate how devastating these systems on simulated users alone tends to lead to assumptions about behaviour that is not representative of real human users. I’ll also briefly touch on our ongoing study and what our future direction from it will be.
