Patent number: 11514293Abstract: In various examples, historical trajectory information of objects in an environment may be tracked by an ego-vehicle and encoded into a state feature. The encoded state features for each of the objects observed by the ego-vehicle may be used—e.g., by a bi-directional long short-term memory (LSTM) network—to encode a spatial feature. The encoded spatial feature and the encoded state feature for an object may be used to predict lateral and/or longitudinal maneuvers for the object, and the combination of this information may be used to determine future locations of the object. The future locations may be used by the ego-vehicle to determine a path through the environment, or may be used by a simulation system to control virtual objects—according to trajectories determined from the future locations—through a simulation environment.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2019Date of Patent: November 29, 2022Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: Ruben Villegas, Alejandro Troccoli, Iuri Frosio, Stephen Tyree, Wonmin Byeon, Jan Kautz

Patent number: 11416713Abstract: A novel distributed method for machine learning is described, where the algorithm operates on a plurality of data silos, such that the privacy of the data in each silo is maintained. In some embodiments, the attributes of the data and the features themselves are kept private within the data silos. The method includes a distributed learning algorithm whereby a plurality of data spaces are co-populated with artificial, evenly distributed data, and then the data spaces are carved into smaller portions whereupon the number of real and artificial data points are compared. Through an iterative process, clusters having less than evenly distributed real data are discarded. A plurality of final quality control measurements are used to merge clusters that are too similar to be meaningful. These distributed quality control measures are then combined from each of the data silos to derive an overall quality control metric.Type: GrantFiled: March 18, 2019Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignee: Bottomline Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Jerzy Bala, Paul Green
