Abstract: An image including a vehicle seat and a seatbelt webbing for the vehicle seat is obtained. The image is input to a neural network trained to, upon determining a presence of an occupant in the vehicle seat, output a physical state of the occupant and a seatbelt webbing state.

A vehicle component is actuated based on the classification for at least one of the physical state of the occupant or the seatbelt webbing state being nonpreferred.

Abstract: Example localization systems and methods are described. In one implementation, a method receives a camera image from a vehicle camera and cleans the camera image using a VAE-GAN (variational autoencoder combined with a generative adversarial network) algorithm. The method further receives a vector map related to an area proximate the vehicle and generates a synthetic image based on the vector map. The method then localizes the vehicle based on the cleaned camera image and the synthetic image.

Abstract: A method for training an autonomous vehicle to reach a target location. The method includes detecting the state of an autonomous vehicle in a simulated environment, and using a neural network to navigate the vehicle from an initial location to a target destination. During the training phase, a second neural network may reward the first neural network for a desired action taken by the autonomous vehicle, and may penalize the first neural network for an undesired action taken by the autonomous vehicle. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed and claimed herein.

Abstract: An end-to-end deep-learning-based system that can solve both ASR and TTS problems jointly using unpaired text and audio samples is disclosed herein. An adversarially-trained approach is used to generate a more robust independent TTS neural network and an ASR neural network that can be deployed individually or simultaneously. The process for training the neural networks includes generating an audio sample from a text sample using the TTS neural network, then feeding the generated audio sample into the ASR neural network to regenerate the text. The difference between the regenerated text and the original text is used as a first loss for training the neural networks. A similar process is used for an audio sample. The difference between the regenerated audio and the original audio is used as a second loss. Text and audio discriminators are similarly used on the output of the neural network to generate additional losses for training.

The input image is localized to one of a plurality of topological nodes of a hybrid simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) metric-topological map which describes the environment as the plurality of topological nodes at a plurality of discrete locations in the environment. A metric pose of the image sensor can be determined using a Perspective-n-Point (PnP) projection algorithm. A convolutional neural network (CNN) can be trained to localize the input image to one of the plurality of topological nodes and a direction of traversal through the environment.
