Abstract: Systems and methods for providing a novel framework to simulate the appearance of pathology on patients who otherwise lack that pathology. The systems and methods include a “simulator” that is a generative adversarial network (GAN). Rather than generating images from scratch, the systems and methods discussed herein simulate the addition of diseases-like appearance on existing scans of healthy patients. Focusing on simulating added abnormalities, as opposed to simulating an entire image, significantly reduces the difficulty of training GANs and produces results that more closely resemble actual, unmodified images. In at least some implementations, multiple GANs are used to simulate pathological tissues on scans of healthy patients to artificially increase the amount of available scans with abnormalities to address the issue of data imbalance with rare pathologies.

Abstract: A technique is described for developing and using applications and skills with an autonomous vehicle. In an example embodiment, a development platform is provided that enables access to a developer console for developing software modules for use with an autonomous vehicle. Using the developer console, a developer user can specify instructions for causing an autonomous vehicle to perform one or more operations. For example, to control the behavior of an autonomous vehicle, the instructions can cause an executing computer system at the autonomous vehicle to generate calls to an application programming interface (API) associated with an autonomous navigation system of autonomous vehicle. Such calls to the API can be configured to adjust a parameter of a behavioral objective associated with a trajectory generation process performed by the autonomous navigation system that controls the behavior of the autonomous vehicle.
