Publication number: 20240169253Abstract: Using a first dataset of labeled data, a model is trained by adjusting a feature extractor parameter, a classifier parameter, and a discriminator parameter of the model. Using the discriminator parameter and a parametric function of the feature extractor parameter, a plurality of samples of a dataset of unlabeled data is scored. A subset of the scored plurality of samples is selected for labeling. Responsive to receiving a label of each of the selected subset of the scored plurality of samples, the first dataset of labeled data is augmented with the selected subset of the scored plurality of samples and the label of each of the selected subset of the scored plurality of samples. Using the augmented dataset of labeled data, the model is retrained. The retraining comprises further adjusting the feature extractor parameter, the classifier parameter, and the discriminator parameter of the model.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 22, 2022Publication date: May 23, 2024Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Dzung Tien Phan, Huozhi Zhou, Lam Minh Nguyen, Chandrasekhara K.

Patent number: 11912271Abstract: Among other things, techniques are described for predicting how an agent (e.g., a vehicle, bicycle, pedestrian, etc.) will move in an environment based on prior movement, the road network, the surrounding objects and/or other relevant environmental factors. One trajectory prediction technique involves generating a probability map for an agent's movement. Another trajectory prediction technique involves generating a trajectory lattice, for an agent's movement. In addition, a different trajectory prediction technique involves multi-modal regression where a classifier (e.g., a neural network) is trained to classify the probability of a number of (learned) modes such that each model produces a trajectory based on the current input.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2020Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Motional AD LLCInventors: Tung Minh Phan, Eric Wolff, Emilio Frazzoli, Elena Corina Grigore, Freddy Boulton
