Abstract: According to one embodiment, a first set of one or more images are identified as a list of image candidates to be matched with a content item that is identified in response to a search query, where the content item is provided by a first content provider. A first lookup operation is performed in an image whitelist table to identify a second set of one or more images that are associated with a second content provider other than the first content provider. Any image candidate that is included in the second set of the images is removed from the list of image candidates. One of the candidate images is then selected to be associated with the content item.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, in response to a search query received from a client device for searching content, one or more first keywords are determined from the search query. A lookup operation is performed in an image-to-keyword (image/keyword) mapping table based on the first keywords. The image/keyword mapping table includes a plurality of entries, each entry mapping an image identifier (ID) identifying an image to one or more second keywords. For each of images identified in the image/keyword mapping table, a matching degree is determined between the first keywords and the second keywords. A ranking process is performed based on matching degrees on a plurality of images identified in the image/keyword mapping table whose second keywords match at least a portion of the first keywords.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a number of steering rate candidates are determined for a steering control command of operating an autonomous vehicle. For each of the steering rate candidates, a steering rate cost is calculated for the steering rate candidate by applying a predetermined cost function, including calculating a first cost for the steering rate candidate based on a difference between a target steering position and a current steering position of the autonomous vehicle using a first predetermined cost function. One of the steering rate candidates having a lowest steering rate cost is selected as a target steering rate. A steering control command is generated based on the selected steering rate candidate to control a steering wheel of the autonomous vehicle.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a first keyword-to-image (keyword/image) mapping table is provided. The first keyword mapping table includes a number of entries, each entry mapping a keyword to one or more image identifiers (IDs) identifying one or more images. For each of the keywords of the first keyword/image mapping table, an analysis is performed on the keyword to determine one or more related keywords that are related to the keyword. One or more additional entries corresponding to the one or more related keywords are generated to be incorporated into the first keyword/image mapping table to generate a second keyword/image mapping table. The second keyword/image mapping table is utilized to associated a particular image to a particular content item related to a particular keyword.

Abstract: Described is a system and method that provides the ability for an autonomous driving vehicle (ADV) to determine (or estimate) one or more control characteristics for the ADV. In order to determine these control characteristics, the system may perform one or more driving maneuvers such as an acceleration or deceleration maneuver, and a constant velocity maneuver. By performing these maneuvers using various known forces, the system may then perform various calculations to obtain one or more unknown characteristics. For example, the system may determine as estimated mass of the ADV, and as a result, adjust (or tune) various controls of the ADV based on the estimated mass.

Abstract: In one embodiment, when an ADV is driving on a road segment, a driving parameter is recorded in response to a first control command. A difference between the first driving parameter and a target driving parameter corresponding to the first control command is determined. In response to determining that the difference exceeds a predetermined threshold, a second control command is issued to compensate the difference and cause the ADV to drive with a second driving parameter closer to the target driving parameter. A slope status of the road segment is derived based on at least the second control command. Map data of a map corresponding to the road segment of the road is updated based on the derived slope status. The updated map can be utilized to generate and issue proper control commands in view of the slope status of the road when the ADV drives on the same road subsequently.

Abstract: An autonomous driving system includes a number of sensors and a number of autonomous driving modules. The autonomous driving system further includes a global store to store data generated and used by processing modules such as sensors and/or autonomous driving modules. The autonomous driving system further includes a task scheduler coupled to the sensors, the autonomous driving modules, and the global store. In response to output data generated by any one or more of processing modules, the task scheduler stores the output data in the global store. In response to a request from any of the processing modules for processing data, the task scheduler provides input data stored in the global store to the processing module. The task scheduler is executed in a single thread that is responsible for managing data stored in the global store and dispatching tasks to be performed by the processing modules.

Abstract: A global store is maintained to store a number of data structures. Each data structure includes a number of entries and each entry stores data of one of the events in a chronological order. Each data structure is associated with one of the sensors or the autonomous driving modules of an autonomous driving vehicle. When a first event associated with a first autonomous driving module is received, where the first event includes a first topic ID, the first topic ID is hashed to identify a first data structure corresponding to the first event. A pointer pointing to a head of the first data structure is passed to the first autonomous driving module to allow the first autonomous driving module to process data associated with the first event.

Abstract: An event queue is maintained to store IO events generated from a number of sensors and timer events generated for a number of autonomous driving modules. For each of the events pending in the event queue, in response to determining that the event is an IO event, the data associated with the IO event is stored in a data structure associated with the sensor in a global store. In response to determining that the event is a timer event, a worker thread associated with the timer event is launched. The worker thread executes one of the autonomous driving modules triggered or initiated the timer event. Input data is retrieved from the global store and provided to the worker thread to allow the worker thread to process the input data.
