Collaborative Perception & Federated ML for Autonomous Driving

Deep learning (DL) has shown improvements in object detection, semantic segmentation, HD-Maps creation, representations for odometry, localization, automated sensor calibration, learning driving policy. Federated ML/DL is a recent development to train user specific keyboard models in a decentralized way across different mobile systems by Google. Recent workshop on Federated AI for Robotics has demonstrated a first effort to cross-fertilize domains in robotics and federated ML models. We aim to unite researchers from 1. Federated DL & ML algorithms, 2. Autonomous driving tasks. Decentralized aggregate learning on autonomous driving agents could be helpful in collaborative mapping and localization, obstacle avoidance, would become more and more prominent due to the upcoming technologies such as 5G. This also requires power efficient networks but are regularly learning from new observations.

Call for Papers:

With this workshop we are soliciting contributions in the following (but not limited to) topics :

  • Collaborative perception among Connected Vehicles & Vehicle Platooning

  • Vehicle to vehicle and Vehicle to infrastructure Communication

  • Federated ML for learning to update DNN models in vehicle fleets for object detection, semantic segmentation, Map Creation, Localization

  • Federated Filtering, Distributed Kalman Filtering, Federated Fusion

  • Co-training and self-training over mixture of labelled and unlabeled data

  • Active learning within federated ML frameworks

  • Dataset compression and distillation for Federated ML.

  • Network optimization for Federated ML

  • Collaborative Mapping and SLAM using multi-agent systems.

  • Shared Prior map updates and re-localization.

  • Multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) for Autonomous Driving

  • Multi-agent driving policy for decision making at intersections, merges.

The goal of this workshop would be to assemble researchers and practitioners from academic institutions as well industry.
