RHOS

About

Hi, this is the website of RHOS team at MVIG. We study Human Activity Understanding, Visual Reasoning, and Embodied AI. We are building a knowledge-driven system that enables intelligent agents to perceive human activities, reason human behavior logics, learn skills from human activities, and interact with environment.

Research Interests:

(S) Embodied AI: how to make agents learn skills from humans and interact with human & scene & object.
(S-1) Human Activity Understanding: how to learn and ground complex/ambiguous human activity concepts (body motion, human-object/human/scene interaction) and object concepts from multi-modal information (2D-3D-4D).
(S-2) Visual Reasoning: how to mine, capture, and embed the logics and causal relations from human activities.
(S-3) General Multi-Modal Foundation Models: especially for human-centric perception tasks.
(S-4) Activity Understanding from A Cognitive Perspective: work with multidisciplinary researchers to study how the brain perceives activities.
(E) Human-Robot Interaction (e.g. for Smart Hospital): work with the healthcare team (doctors and engineers) in SJTU to develop intelligent robots to help people.

Projects

HAKE

Human Activity Knowledge Engine2018Homepage

Human Activity Knowledge Engine (HAKE) is a knowledge-driven system that aims at enabling intelligent agents to perceive human activities, reason human behavior logics, learn skills from human activities, and interact with objects and environments.

OCL

Object Concept Learning2022Homepage

We propose a challenging Object Concept Learning (OCL) task to push the envelope of object understanding. It requires machines to reason out object affordances and simultaneously give the reason: what attributes make an object possesses these affordances.

Pangea

Unified Action Semantic Space2023Homepage

We design an action semantic space in view of verb taxonomy hierarchy and covering massive actions. Thus, we can gather multi-modal datasets into a unified database in a unified label system, i.e., bridging “isolated islands” into a “Pangea”. Accordingly, we propose a bidirectional mapping model between physical and semantic space to fully use Pangea.
