In many cases, the collection of such datasets is either impossible to obtain (e.g., in computational biology where the ground truth annotation is unknown) or, even if it is possible, it is too expensive (e.g., segmentation of millions of images). SPLENDID would like to move towards a learning paradigm that reflects the true availability of data in real life. The goal of SPLENDID is thus to develop machine learning techniques that allow exploiting the information present in the following three related categories of data: (i) Diverse data, where some training samples are fully supervised, while other samples are weakly supervised; (ii) Incomplete data, where the training samples have not been fully annotated; and (iii) Noisy data, where some of the training samples may be labeled incorrectly.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #266d83;\">Scientific achievements:<\/span><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">SPLENDID results span the following areas: Dissimilarity coefficient learning, Parameter estimation for random walks, Parameter estimation for region-based models, and Local symmetries for contour and object reconstruction.<\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #266d83;\">Publications and Awards:<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>1 Journal article.<\/li>\n<li>2 Conference papers.<\/li>\n<li>API for Modeling Latent Variable Uncertainty for Loss-based Learning<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/cvn.ecp.fr\/personnel\/pawan\/code\/DISCAPI.zip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/cvn.ecp.fr\/personnel\/pawan\/code\/DISCAPI.zip<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #266d83;\">Follow<\/span><strong> up:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While Prof. Daphne Koller has left Stanford University to work full-time as the CEO of Coursera, GALEN has pursued its research on this topic with IIIT Hyderabad (supported by a CEFIPRA grant).
