  • Patent number: 11875617
    Abstract: A cloud storage backend for managing data of in-vehicle sensing modules is disclosed, which is advantageous for use in the context of a shared vehicle service, such as a car rental service, an autonomous taxi service, or a ride sharing service. The in-vehicle sensing modules are configured to monitor a status of the vehicle and utilize appropriate algorithms, models, or thresholds to interpret sensor data and enrich the data with metadata and event detection. The cloud storage backend receives relevant sensor data, event data, or other metadata from the in-vehicle sensing modules and stores the data in a database which is made accessible by authorized third-parties.

  • Patent number: 11875120
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed that enable rapid and cost-effective human-in-the-loop synthesis of domain-specific textual training data for a deep learning model. The data augmentation process incorporates a sentence generator, a sentence classifier, and weak-supervision by a domain expert that is ‘in the loop.’ Generally, both the sentence generator and the sentence classifier are implemented as machine learning models. The sentence generator generates new sentences based on manually labeled sentences and the sentence classifier generates labels for the newly generated sentences. The new sentences are corrected or verified by a domain expert and then used to retrain one or both of the sentence generator and the sentence classifier.

  • Patent number: 11867831
    Abstract: A generator for generating two- or multi-dimensional frequency representations of synthetic radar signals from a set of radar signals measured by a physical radar sensor. The generator includes a random number generator and a first AI module, which, as input, receives vectors or tensors of random values from the random number generator and uses an internal processing chain to map each such vector, respectively each such tensor, onto a two- or multi-dimensional frequency representation of a synthetic radar signal. The internal processing chain of the first AI module is parameterized by a multiplicity of parameters which are set in such a way that the two- or multi-dimensional frequency representation of the radar signal and/or at least one characteristic derived therefrom have the same distribution for the synthetic radar signals as for the measured radar signals.
