Grounding semantics in robots for Visual Question Answering

In this thesis I describe an operational implementation of an object detection and description system that incorporates in an end-to-end Visual Question Answering system and evaluated it on two visual question answering datasets for compositional language and elementary visual reasoning

Facial Landmark Detection Using Affine Graph Matching and a Genetic Search Algorithm

This paper proposes a method that finds landmark points on the face, which is one of the main tasks in a face recognition system. Salient facial landmark detection is important because it enables face normalization and leads to size and orientation invariant face recognition. The presented approach is based on an affine graph matching technique and uses a genetic algorithm to perform the search. The feasibility of our methodology for detection tasks related to face landmark point detection has been deployed using the ORL face image database. Experiments show satisfactory results under relatively wide conditions. The GA searching approach is essential because it effectively searches the solution space.

Detecting Deepfakes with Deep Learning and Gabor Filters

The proliferation of many editing programs based on artificial intelligence techniques has contributed to the emergence of deepfake technology. Deepfakes are committed to fabricating and falsifying facts by making a person do actions or say words that he never did or said. So that developing an algorithm for deepfakes detection is very important to discriminate real from fake media. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are among the most complex classifiers, but choosing the nature of the data fed to these networks is extremely important. For this reason, we capture fine texture details of input data frames using 16 Gabor filters indifferent directions and then feed them to a binary CNN classifier instead of using the red-green-blue color information. The purpose of this paper is to give the reader a deeper view of (1) enhancing the efficiency of distinguishing fake facial images from real facial images by developing a novel model based on deep learning and Gabor filters and (2) how deep learning (CNN) if combined with forensic tools (Gabor filters) contributed to the detection of deepfakes. Our experiment shows that the training accuracy reaches about 98.06% and 97.50% validation. Likened to the state-of-the-art methods, the proposed model has higher efficiency
