  • Patent number: 10268200
    Abstract: A surrounding environment of an autonomous vehicle is perceived to identify one or more vehicles nearby. For each of the identified vehicles, based on a current location of the identified vehicle, vehicle-independent information is obtained to determine context surrounding the identified vehicle, where the vehicle-independent information includes vehicle surrounding information that defines physical constraints imposed on the identified vehicle. For each of the identified vehicles, one or more trajectories for the identified vehicle are predicted based at least in part on the vehicle-independent information associated with the identified vehicle. The autonomous vehicle is controlled based on the one or more predicted trajectories of the one or more identified vehicles.

  • Publication number: 20190095791
    Abstract: A spatial linear propagation network (SLPN) system learns the affinity matrix for vision tasks. An affinity matrix is a generic matrix that defines the similarity of two points in space. The SLPN system is trained for a particular computer vision task and refines an input map (i.e., affinity matrix) that indicates pixels the share a particular property (e.g., color, object, texture, shape, etc.). Inputs to the SLPN system are input data (e.g., pixel values for an image) and the input map corresponding to the input data to be propagated. The input data is processed to produce task-specific affinity values (guidance data). The task-specific affinity values are applied to values in the input map, with at least two weighted values from each column contributing to a value in the refined map data for the adjacent column.

  • Publication number: 20180143649
    Abstract: Route segment information is received from a first autonomous vehicle over a network. The route segment information includes one or more route segments and estimated entrance times, each of the entrance times being associated with one of the route segments and representing a time the first autonomous vehicle enters the route segment. Whether the first autonomous vehicle is within a specific route segment is determined based on an entrance time associated with the specific route segment and a current location of the first autonomous vehicle. If the first autonomous vehicle is within the specific route segment, a request is sent to invite the first autonomous vehicle to join a vehicle group of one or more vehicles associated with the specific route segment. The vehicle group is one of a plurality of vehicle groups that were determined based on route segment information received from a plurality of autonomous vehicles.

  • Publication number: 20180143644
    Abstract: Responsive to sensor data received from one or more sensors of an autonomous vehicle, one or more predicted trajectories are generated, with each of the predicted trajectories having an associated probability. One or more driving scenarios that trigger gesture recognition are identified. For each of the identified driving scenarios, one or more gestures from one or more vehicles are detected in accordance with a gesture detection protocol. One or more gestures from the autonomous vehicle are emitted for communication with the vehicles in accordance with a gesture emission protocol based on the detected gestures. The predicted trajectories are modified based on the detected gestures, the emitted gestures and the associated probabilities of the predicted trajectories. The autonomous vehicle is controlled based on the modified predicted trajectories.

  • Publication number: 20170351738
    Abstract: A user can issue a query about a process that has a number of stages. A stage of the process is determined using the query and location data associated with the query, and a stage prediction model. A stage learning system can select a sample of query logs for a category from a database of millions or billions of users' queries. Queries can be parsed into keywords. A category can be determined from location information associated with each query and from query keywords. Queries are aligned based on location and, optionally, keywords. TF-IDF values are computed for queries and are used to determine a difference significance between aligned, adjacent queries. If aligned, adjacent queries have a substantially difference in keywords and TF-IDF, then a conversion stage is identified. Content can be presented to the user based on the category, keywords, location, and conversion stage.
