Projects

Weakly supervised semantic segmentation
To create models which can effectively segment images, the immense datasets of labeled data are required. It is often very time consuming. When labeling medical data an expert has to spend a lot of time and use his expertise which is very expensive.In order to decrease the resources spent on labeling while preserving the quality of the models, we develop a weakly-supervised approach for segmentation of different types of images. We test our method and show results on several distant datasets, including regular real-world objects (such as cars, planes, trees etc.), and on medical data (chest X-rays). We develop a solution which is capable to segment objects with a limited supervision.

ModelicaGym Toolbox for Applying Reinforcement Learning to Modelica Models
ModelicaGym toolbox was developed to employ Reinforcement Learning (RL) for solving optimization and control tasks in Modelica models. The developed tool allows connecting models using Functional Mock-up Interface (FMI) to OpenAI Gym toolkit in order to exploit Modelica equation-based modeling and co-simulation together with RL algorithms as a functionality of the tools correspondingly. Thus, ModelicaGym facilitates fast and convenient development of RL algorithms and their comparison when solving optimal control problem for Modelica dynamic models. The toolbox functionality validation is performed on Cart-Pole balancing problem.Authors: Oleh Lukianykhin, Tetiana Bogodorova

Robust Methods for Single View Geometry Estimation
The project focuses on robust methods for camera auto-calibration, estimating scene plane rectification and symmetry detection. These methods are useful for important vision tasks like visual localization and 3D reconstruction.Team:

Face Recognition system
We developed a loyalty system for retail based on the face recognition. A user has to register via mobile phone and take one photo. After that based on the angularly discriminative features we build engine for face recognition. Now when the registered client comes to the shop they will be recognised and the shop assistant will immediately get all the information about the client's tastes so they can recommend better items.Authors: Oles Dobosevych, Anton Tarasov, Matt Kovtun, Oleh Smolkin, Mykhailo Ivankiv

Ukrainian style MNIST
Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology dataset (MNIST dataset) of handwritten digits is the most known dataset that is widely used as a benchmark for validating various ideas in Machine Learning. We present a newly created dataset of 32 handwritten Ukrainian letters, which is divided into 72 different style subclasses, with 2000 examples in each class. We also suggest a recognition model for these symbols and explain why approaches working well for MNIST dataset do not succeed in our case. Finally, we discuss several real-world applications of our model that can help to save paper, time and money.Authors: Oles Dobosevych, Matvii Kovtun


Low cost system to record punch press parameters
We developed an IoT solution to automatically count the number of overall press strikes as well as granulate this data to individual molds with minimum operator intervention.Authors: Dzvenymyra Yarish, Yurii Laba, Yurii Stasinchuk, Oleksandr Pryhoda, Bogdan Petryshak
