An Interlock for Self Driving Cars

Software Design Group
Computer-Aided Programming
Vertical AI Community of Research
Human-Computer Interaction Community of Research
Self-driving cars are likely to be safer, on average, than human-driven cars. But they may fail in new and catastrophic ways that a human driver could prevent. This project is designing a new architecture for a highly dependable self-driving car.

Project

Aspect-Augmented Adversarial Networks for Domain Adaptation

Natural Language Processing Group
Vertical AI Community of Research
We propose a novel aspect-augmented adversarial network for cross-aspect and cross-domain adaptation tasks. The effectiveness of our approach suggests the potential application of adversarial networks to a broader range of NLP tasks for improved representation learning, such as machine translation and language generation.
