Various depth estimation models are now widely used on many mobile and IoT devices for image segmentation, bokeh effect rendering, object tracking and many other mobile tasks. Thus, it is very crucial to have efficient and accurate depth estimation models that can run fast on low-power mobile chipsets. In this Mobile AI challenge, the target was to develop deep learning-based single image depth estimation solutions that can show a real-time performance on IoT platforms and smartphones. For this, the participants used a large-scale RGB-to-depth dataset that was collected with the ZED stereo camera capable to generated depth maps for objects located at up to 50 meters. The runtime of all models was evaluated on the Raspberry Pi 4 platform, where the developed solutions were able to generate VGA resolution depth maps at up to 27 FPS while achieving high fidelity results. All models developed in the challenge are also compatible with any Android or Linux-based mobile devices, their detailed description is provided in this paper.

In this work, we analyze the utility of two dimensional document maps for exploratory analysis of Polish case law. We start by comparing two methods of generating such visualizations. First is based on linear principal component analysis (PCA). Second makes use of the modern nonlinear t-Distributed Stochastic Neighbor Embedding method (t-SNE). We apply both PCA and t-SNE to a corpus of judgments from different courts in Poland. It emerges that t-SNE provides better, more interpretable results than PCA. As a next test, we apply t-SNE to randomly selected sample of common court judgments corresponding to different keywords. We show that t-SNE, in this case, reveals hidden topical structure of the documents related to keyword,,pension". In conclusion, we find that the t-SNE method could be a promising tool to facilitate the exploitative analysis of legal texts, e.g., by complementing search or browse functionality in legal databases.

In this work, automatic analysis of themes contained in a large corpora of judgments from public procurement domain is performed. The employed technique is unsupervised latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA). In addition, it is proposed, to use LDA in conjunction with recently developed method of unsupervised keyword extraction. Such an approach improves the interpretability of the automatically obtained topics and allows for better computational performance. The described analysis illustrates a potential of the method in detecting recurring themes and discovering temporal trends in lodged contract appeals. These results may be in future applied to improve information retrieval from repositories of legal texts or as auxiliary material for legal analyses carried out by human experts.
