This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) provides $125,718 to Auburn University to develop a computer vision-based algorithm for event understanding from streaming video. The key objectives are to integrate continuous deep learning representations with symbolic graph-based representations, leverage commonsense knowledge to go beyond closed-world assumptions, model event dynamics on graph manifolds, and design predictive self-supervised learning across both continuous and symbolic representations. This work aims to advance the state-of-the-art in computer vision and event interpretation, with potential applications in areas like assistive robotics, smart spaces, and wildlife monitoring. The project will also focus on recruiting and retaining women and underrepresented minority undergraduate students across the partner institutions of the University of South Florida, Florida State University, and Oklahoma State University.
