From Attribution Maps to Human-Understandable Explanations through Concept Relevance Propagation
We introduce the Concept Relevance Propagation (CRP) approach, which combines the local and global perspectives and thus allows answering both the ‘where’ and ‘what’ questions for individual predictions. We demonstrate the capability of our...
When it comes to Earth observations in AI for disaster risk reduction, is it feast or famine? A topical review
Given the number of in situ and remote (e.g. radiosonde/satellite) monitoring devices, there is a common perception that there are no limits to the availability of EO for immediate use in such AI-based models. However, a mere fraction of EO is...
FedAUX: Leveraging Unlabeled Auxiliary Data in Federated Learning
In this work, we propose FEDAUX, an extension to Federated Distillation, which, under the same set of assumptions, drastically improves the performance by deriving maximum utility from the unlabeled auxiliary data. Our proposed method achieves...
Eight-channel SiNx microring–resonator based photonic biosensor for label-free fluid analysis in the optical C-band
A lab-on-a-chip multichannel sensing platform for biomedical analysis based on optical silicon nitride (SiNx) microring-resonators (MRR) was established. The resonators were surface functionalized and finally combined with a microfluidic chamber...
Diffuse-scattering-informed Geometric Channel Modeling for THz Wireless Communications Systems
This paper validates an in-house three-dimensional ray-launching (3D-RL) algorithm with a channel sounder measurement campaign that has been performed in a typical indoor environment at 300 GHz.
A hybrid photonic integrated signal source with > 1.5 THz continuous tunability and < 0.25 GHz accuracy for mmW/THz applications
We present a hybrid photonic integrated mmW/THz signal source, which comprises two tunable lasers and on-chip wavelength meters. The continuous wavelength tunability of a single laser is over 12 nm (1.5 THz), and the wavelength meter accuracy is...
1x4 Vertical Power Splitter/Combiner: A Basic Building Block for Complex 3D Waveguide Routing Networks
A novel polymer-based 1x4 vertical multimode interference (MMI) coupler for 3D photonics is presented. It connects four vertically stacked waveguide layers with a spacing of 21.6 µm. The functionality is demonstrated on a fabricated device.
Automatic Reconstruction of Semantic 3D Models from 2D Floor Plans
Digitalization of existing buildings and the creation of 3D BIM models is crucial for many tasks. Of particular importance are floor plans, which contain information about building layouts and are vital for construction, maintenance or...
Accurate human body reconstruction for volumetric video
In this work, we enhance a professional end-to-end volumetric video production pipeline to achieve high-fidelity human body reconstruction using only passive cameras.We introduce and optimize deep learning based multi-view stereo networks for...
Dynamic Multi-View Scene Reconstruction Using Neural Implicit Surface
In this paper, we propose a template-free method to reconstruct surface geometry and appearance using neural implicit representations from multi-view videos. We leverage topology-aware deformation and the signed distance field to learn complex...
