Systems and methods are disclosed for identifying target graphs that have nodes or neighborhoods of nodes (sub-graphs) that correspond with an input query graph. A visual analytics system supports human-in-the-loop, example-based subgraph pattern search utilizing a database of target graphs. Users can interactively select a pattern of nodes of interest. Graph neural networks encode topological and node attributes in a graph as fixed length latent vector representations such that subgraph matching can be performed in the latent space. Once matching target graphs are identified as corresponding to the query graph, one-to-one node correspondence between the query graph and the matching target graphs.

A system and method are disclosed herein for developing a machine perception model in the omnidirectional image domain. The system and method utilize the knowledge distillation process to transfer and adapt knowledge from the perspective projection image domain to the omnidirectional image domain. A teacher model is pre-trained to perform the machine perception task in the perspective projection image. A student model is trained by adapting the pre-existing knowledge of the teacher model from the perspective projection image domain to the omnidirectional image domain. By way of this training, the student model learns to perform the same machine perception task, except in the omnidirectional image domain, using limited or no suitably labeled training data in the omnidirectional image domain.
