Self-supervised Multi-future Occupancy Forecasting for Autonomous Driving

Self-supervised Multi-future Occupancy Forecasting for Autonomous Driving

arXiv:2407.21126v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Environment prediction frameworks are critical for the safe navigation of autonomous vehicles (AVs) in dynamic settings. LiDAR-generated occupancy grid maps (L-OGMs) offer a robust bird's-eye view for the scene representation, enabling self-supervised joint scene predictions while exhibiting resilience to partial observability and perception detection failures. Prior approaches have focused on deterministic L-OGM prediction architectures within the grid cell space. While these methods have seen some success, they frequently produce unrealistic predictions and fail to capture the stochastic nature of the environment. Additionally, they do not effectively integrate additional sensor modalities present in AVs. Our proposed…

Gen Z is transforming office email etiquette — but it could backfire

Gen Z is transforming office email etiquette — but it could backfire

Gen Z is rewriting the rules of work communication — starting with out-of-office emails.Employment experts told Business Insider they had noticed a rise in informal and comedic out-of-office emails from the youngest employees in recent years.They said these types of emails usually consist of jokes, puns, and emojis instead of the conventional bare bones of when you might be back.The trend is part of a wider shift in workplace culture being driven by Gen Z.While it could do people good to lighten up a bit, the experts said, there is also a risk that relaxing too much comes at the…

CP-Prompt: Composition-Based Cross-modal Prompting for Domain-Incremental Continual Learning

CP-Prompt: Composition-Based Cross-modal Prompting for Domain-Incremental Continual Learning

arXiv:2407.21043v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The key challenge of cross-modal domain-incremental learning (DIL) is to enable the learning model to continuously learn from novel data with different feature distributions under the same task without forgetting old ones. However, existing top-performing methods still cause high forgetting rates, by lacking intra-domain knowledge extraction and inter-domain common prompting strategy. In this paper, we propose a simple yet effective framework, CP-Prompt, by training limited parameters to instruct a pre-trained model to learn new domains and avoid forgetting existing feature distributions. CP-Prompt captures intra-domain knowledge by compositionally inserting personalized prompts on multi-head self-attention layers and…

Five takeaways from Forrester’s 2024 state of application security

Five takeaways from Forrester’s 2024 state of application security

Join our daily and weekly newsletters for the latest updates and exclusive content on industry-leading AI coverage. Learn More Application security often gets sacrificed for speed and to meet ever-tightening time-to-market windows for new apps needed to fuel new revenue growth. Increasing the urgency to get apps out early are compensation plans for CIOs, DevOps leaders and their teams that offer financial incentives for delivering apps ahead of schedule. With bonuses riding on getting a new app released quickly, security gets pushed to the final phase of a project and is rushed out fast. The greater the push for speed,…

McDonald’s promises its $5 meal deal is just the tip of the iceberg as it goes all in on value to win back customers

McDonald’s promises its $5 meal deal is just the tip of the iceberg as it goes all in on value to win back customers

McDonald's isn't cheap anymore, but the company is promising to do something about it.In an interview with CNBC's Squawk Box, the chain's president and CEO, Chris Kempczinski, discussed the chain's $5 value meal, which was initially launched in June for a month but has since been extended through August.Kempczinski suggested that this deal is just the start of a renewed push into value for the chain."I would consider the $5 menu sort of chapter one of a multi-chapter value playbook that we're going to be writing," he said.The $5 deal is "a bridge value program … what we'll be doing…

Taming the Frequency Factory of Sinusoidal Networks

Taming the Frequency Factory of Sinusoidal Networks

arXiv:2407.21121v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This work investigates the structure and representation capacity of $sinusoidal$ MLPs, which have recently shown promising results in encoding low-dimensional signals. This success can be attributed to its smoothness and high representation capacity. The first allows the use of the network's derivatives during training, enabling regularization. However, defining the architecture and initializing its parameters to achieve a desired capacity remains an empirical task. This work provides theoretical and experimental results justifying the capacity property of sinusoidal MLPs and offers control mechanisms for their initialization and training. We approach this from a Fourier series perspective and…

Tesla involved in fatal Washington crash was using self-driving mode

Tesla involved in fatal Washington crash was using self-driving mode

A deadly accident in Washington that took the life of a motorcyclist earlier this year was caused by a Tesla vehicle while it was in “Full Self Driving” mode. The Associated Press reported that investigators from the Washington State Patrol confirmed that a 2022 Tesla Model S involved in the fatality accident in April was in self-driving mode from the car’s event-data recorder.The accident occurred on April 19 on the eastbound side of State Route 522 approximately 15 miles northeast of Seattle. The unidentified driver told police he had his Tesla’s self-driving mode on and was looking at his phone…

PAV: Personalized Head Avatar from Unstructured Video Collection

PAV: Personalized Head Avatar from Unstructured Video Collection

arXiv:2407.21047v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We propose PAV, Personalized Head Avatar for the synthesis of human faces under arbitrary viewpoints and facial expressions. PAV introduces a method that learns a dynamic deformable neural radiance field (NeRF), in particular from a collection of monocular talking face videos of the same character under various appearance and shape changes. Unlike existing head NeRF methods that are limited to modeling such input videos on a per-appearance basis, our method allows for learning multi-appearance NeRFs, introducing appearance embedding for each input video via learnable latent neural features attached to the underlying geometry. Furthermore, the proposed…
