Abstract: Computer systems and methods generate data examples by training, through machine learning, a data generator with a training objective to produce a data example for a specific value of R, where R is value related to S1(x) and S2(x), where, for a data example, x, generated by the data generator, S1(x) is a likelihood that the data example x is in a first class of a first selected data example and S2(x) is a likelihood that the data example x is in a second class of a second selected data example. S1(x) and S2(x) are determined by a discriminator that is trained through machine learning to discriminate between the first and second classes. After training the data generator, the data generator generates a synthetic data example for each of multiple specific values of R.

Abstract: A system for generating a machine learning system to generate guidance information based on locations of objects is provided. The system accesses training data that includes training time-of-arrival (“TOA”) information of looks and guidance information for each look. The guidance information is based on a training collection of object locations. The TOA of a look represents, for each object location of a training collection of object locations, times between signals transmitted by transmitters and return signals received by receivers. The return signals represent signals reflected from an object at the object location. The system trains a machine learning system using the training data wherein the machine learning system inputs TOA information and outputs guidance information.
