Safe Motion Planning against Multimodal Distributions Based on a Scenario Approach

We present the design of a motion planning algorithm that ensures safety for an autonomous vehicle. In particular, we consider a multimodal distribution over uncertainties; for example, the uncertain predictions of future trajectories of surrounding vehicl ...

Comparing Annual Glare Simulation Methods

Stephen William Wasilewski

Recently, there have been multiple proposals for faster methods to calculate glare metrics, daylight glare probability (DGP) in particular. This is driven simultaneously by the lengthy times required to simulate DGP with a conventional image-based approach ...

The Sensitivity of Housing Demand to Financing Conditions: Evidence from a Survey

Andreas Fuster

Measuring the sensitivity of housing demand to mortgage rates and available leverage is challenging because there is generally no exogenous variation in these variables. This paper circumvents this issue by designing a strategic survey in which respondents ...

Robustness via Cross-Domain Ensembles

Shuqing Teresa Yeo, Amir Roshan Zamir, Oguzhan Fatih Kar

We present a method for making neural network predictions robust to shifts from the training data distribution. The proposed method is based on making predictions via a diverse set of cues (called 'middle domains') and ensembling them into one strong predi ...
