spatial 3d semantic understanding for perception in the wild

understanding the 3d spatial semantics of the world around us is core to visual perception and digitization realworld environments are spatially threedimensional and must be understood in its 3d context even from 2d image observations this will lead to spatiallygrounded reasoning and higherlevel perception of the world around us such 3d perception will provide the foundation for transformative nextgeneration technology across machine perception immersive communications mixed reality architectural or industrial modeling and more this will enable a new paradigm in semantic understanding that derives primarily from a spatiallyconsistent 3d representation rather than relying on imagebased reasoning that captures only projections of the world however 3d semantic reasoning from visual data such as rgb or rgbd observations remains in its infancy due to challenges in learning from limited amounts of realworld 3d data and moreover the complex highdimensional nature of the problem in this proposal we will develop new algorithmic approaches to effectively learn robust visual 3d perception with new learning paradigms for features representations and operators to encompass 3d semantic understanding

in a space of illegal lawfulness the normative order of radical environmental movements and the enforcement of international environmental law

in response to the escalating climate crisis environmental activists are increasingly resorting to radical methods to pressure states into fulfilling their international climate commitments this marks another chapter in the long history of transnational radical environmentalism for over half a century profound dissatisfaction with the consistent failure of states to uphold their international environmental responsibilities has driven some transnational environmental organizations to employ radical tactics in their pursuit of conservation goals consequently these organizations assert that they have successfully halted underground nuclear testing secured global whale protection and conserved ecosystems prompted state revisions of climate policies and achieved numerous other environmental objectiveswhile social science and legal scholarship have explored radical environmentalism from various perspectives the scholarly debate mostly frames it as a social force grappling with the states ongoing inability to fulfill its environmental promises this project departs from this statecentric view of radical environmentalism utilizing the methods of social science and legal research along with the theoretical framework of legal pluralism remforce seeks to uncover whether radical environmentalism of transnational environmental organizations has developed into a normative system of environmental enforcement parallel to the statecentric one at the time of severe environmental challenges and the unprecedented disruption of the international legal order remforce aims to reconceptualize our understanding of the radical environmental movement as an auxiliary system of enforcement and provide deeper empirical insight into the role of radical nonstate actors in the enforcement of international environmental law
gravitational waves and primordial black holes from cosmological phase transitions

in 2015 nearly a century after their existence was predicted by einsteins theory of general relativity the ligo detectors observed gravitational waves directly for the first time the significance of these observations can be compared to the pioneering observations of astronomical objects made by galileo galilei in the 17th century at visible wavelengths of light both observations opened a new window to the universe and in the same way observations made across the electromagnetic spectrum have revolutionised our view of the universe it is expected that observational advances in gravitational wave astronomy will result in great scientific breakthroughs gravitational wave astronomy has potential for solving some of the biggest questions in astrophysics cosmology and fundamental physics this however requires theoretical studies that allow us to understand the observations and their implications this project includes such studies quantifying connections between the following three topics gws primordial black holes pbhs and cosmological phase transitions first considering formation of gws in cosmological phase transition we develop new approaches for the calculation of the resulting gw spectrum which allow for efficient studies of the parametric dependences of the spectrum second considering formation of pbhs in cosmological phase transitions we quantify the phase transition and collapse dynamics with numerical simulations to determine whether pbhs can form and if yes what are their properties and whether this process can be probed through gws these studies may lead to important developments in our understanding of what is dark matter and the results of this project are necessary for deploying the full potential of the current and future gw observatories
