fantastic to attend #FG2024 together with my PhD student #ChengPeng in my hometown #Istanbul — organise & chair the DC session and present our work “Visual Saliency Guided #Gaze Target Estimation with Limited Labels” 👁️🤖

[Oya Çeliktutan @oyaceliktutan]

Lunch at #HouseofLords✅ It was interesting to engage with next-generation engineers and listen to their curious questions and concerns about #Robotics and #AI. Thanks to @profclairelucas for the invitation and to our amazing female robotics team @kcl_engineering for the company!

[Oya Çeliktutan @oyaceliktutan]

Excited to share #CfP for the 1st Workshop on #ExpressiveEncounters: Co-speech #GestureGeneration across Cultures in-the-Wild @eccvconf #ECCV2024

[King’s Social AI & Robotics Lab @SAIRLab]

very proud of our former member Edoardo! Huge congratulations 🙌

[Edoardo Cetin @edo_cet]

Super excited to share that I joined @SakanaAILabs as a Research Scientist!

Looking forward to working with an amazing team to develop new nature-inspired methods and tackle some of AI's most relevant challenges ^^

[Oya Çeliktutan @oyaceliktutan]

📑 Our latest work, which will be presented at @ieee_ras_icra #ICRA24

Training robots from scratch using deep #reinforcementlearning is a costly problem. We propose effect cycle consistency for transferring policies across different domains.

[UKRI CDT in Safe & Trusted AI @ King's & Imperial @safe_trusted_ai]

#PhD student @l_wachowiak has had the paper ‘When Do People Want an Explanation from a Robot?’ accepted at @HRI_Conference 👏

Insight from the research aims to "solve a real problem and align the robot’s behavior with peoples’ values and needs." - Lennart
