  • Patent number: 11755015
    Abstract: Enclosed are embodiments for scoring one or more trajectories of a vehicle through a given traffic scenario using a machine learning model that predicts reasonableness scores for the trajectories. In an embodiment, human annotators, referred to as a “reasonable crowd,” are presented with renderings of two or more vehicle trajectories traversing through the same or different traffic scenarios. The annotators are asked to indicate their preference for one trajectory over the other(s). Inputs collected from the human annotators are used to train the machine learning model to predict reasonableness scores for one or more trajectories for a given traffic scenario. These predicted trajectories can be used to rank trajectories generated by a route planner based on their scores, compare AV software stacks, or used by any other application that could benefit from a machine learning model that scores vehicle trajectories.

  • Patent number: 11557151
    Abstract: An object identification system on a mobile work machine receives an object detection sensor signal from an object detection sensor, along with an environmental sensor signal from an environmental sensor. An object identification system generates a first object identification based on the object detection sensor signal and the environmental sensor signal. Object behavior is analyzed to determine whether the object behavior is consistent with the object identification, given the environment. If an anomaly is detected, meaning that the object behavior is not consistent with the object identification, given the environment, then a secondary object identification system is invoked to perform another object identification based on the object detection sensor signal and the environmental sensor signal. A control signal generator can generate control signals to control a controllable subsystem of the mobile work machine based on the object identification or the secondary object identification.

  • Patent number: 11551117
    Abstract: Systems and methods to provide a recommendation for an action based on an application policy are disclosed. The application policy may be associated with an organization. An application policy engine can use an artificial intelligence (AI) engine to execute a machine learning (ML) model. The application policy engine may receive real time video data or audio data, and obtain metadata comprising reference data or environment data. The application policy engine can process the real time video data or audio data using the ML model to infer biometric characteristics associated with a subject. The application policy engine can determine if the application policy was met, conformed to, or missed based on a correlation between the metadata and the inferred biometric characteristics, and provide a corresponding recommendation for an action.

  • Patent number: 11521304
    Abstract: Techniques are described for inpainting of image data with a missing region. In an embodiment, at each iteration, the process determines a corresponding missing boundary region of the missing region and generates a collection of boundary patches for the missing boundary region. Based on comparing a boundary patch from the collection to source patches from a known source region of image data, the process generates replacement patches for the missing boundary region. When a boundary pixel data unit corresponds to multiple replacement pixel data units from different replacement patches, the process aggregates the multiple replacement pixel data units to generate an updated boundary pixel data unit. In an embodiment, the process performs convolution using the updated and previously known region of the image data.

  • Patent number: 11514297
    Abstract: This patent concerns novel technology for detecting backdoors of neural network, particularly deep neural network (DNN), classifiers. The backdoors are planted by suitably poisoning the training dataset, i.e., a data-poisoning attack. Once added to input samples from a source class (or source classes), the backdoor pattern causes the decision of the neural network to change to a target class. The backdoors under consideration are small in norm so as to be imperceptible to a human, but this does not limit their location, support or manner of incorporation. There may not be components (edges, nodes) of the DNN which are dedicated to achieving the backdoor function. Moreover, the training dataset used to learn the classifier may not be available.
