Abstract: Upon detecting a lane-change trigger to move an ego vehicle from a current lane to a target lane, a target vehicle is identified in the target lane. Then a set of candidate trajectories is built for the lane-change maneuver by, for each of the target vehicles in the target lane: determining a set of constraints for a lane-change maneuver based on current data collected in the ego vehicle, including speed and distance constraints for the ego vehicle, and adding to the set of candidate trajectories, from a stored set of trajectories, a candidate trajectory for the lane-change maneuver that satisfies the constraints for the lane-change maneuver. Upon determining that the set of candidate trajectories has been built for each of the target vehicles, an optimal trajectory is selected from the set of candidate trajectories. A longitudinal acceleration of the ego vehicle is commanded based on the optimal trajectory.

Abstract: Aspects relate to analyzing multimodal datasets using one or more cross-modal machine learning models. The machine learning models are operable to generate analysis data related to the different data modalities. The analysis data can be used to identify related portions of data in the different modalities. Once these relationships between the different modalities of a data are identified, the relationships can be leveraged to perform various different processes. For example, a first portion of data having a first modality can be used to reconstruct missing or erroneous data from a second modality. The relationship between content stored in the different modalities can further be leveraged to perform compression on multimodal data sets.

Abstract: Concepts and technologies disclosed herein are directed to embedding texts to high dimensional vectors in natural language processing (“NLP”). According to one aspect, an NLP system can receive an input text that includes n number of words. The NLP system can encode the input text into a first matrix using a word embedding algorithm, such as Word2Vec algorithm. The NLP system can encode the input text into the Word2Vec by embedding each word in the n number of words of the input text into a k-dimensional Word2Vec vector using the Word2Vec algorithm. The NLP system also can decode the first matrix into a second matrix using a text embedding algorithm. In some embodiments, the second matrix is a congruence derivative matrix. The NLP system can then output the second matrix to a machine learning module that implements a machine learning technique such as short text classification.

Abstract: Computer systems and methods train a deep neural network through machine learning. In response to detection of a training condition, computer system replaces a target node of the network with a split detector compound node, where, prior to replacement, the target node detected a pattern that activated the target node beyond a specified threshold. The split detector compound node comprises first and second nodes, such that: the first node is activated when significant evidence exists in favor of detection of the pattern in inputs to the first node; and the second node is activated when significant evidence exists against detection of the pattern in inputs to the second node, such that activations of the first and second nodes are computed independently. After replacing the target node with the split detector compound node, training of the network through machine learning is resumed.

Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure relate to systems and methods for generating a predicted eye gaze of a user and or a predicted head pose of a user. In examples, feature information for a first eye of a user is generated based on a first image and a second image, where the first image is received from a first image sensor and the second image is received from a second image sensor. Feature information for a second eye of the user and facial landmark features are generated based on the first image and the second image. A predicted eye gaze for the user and/or a predicted head pose for the user may be based on the extracted feature information for the first eye, the second eye, and the extracted facial landmark features, and a confidence level for the predictions can be based on a hinge angle between the image sensors.
