• Abstract summary: Air quality monitoring is becoming an essential task with rising awareness about air quality. Low cost air quality sensors are easy to deploy but are not as reliable as the costly and bulky reference monitors. In this paper, we translate the task of sensor calibration into a semi-supervised domain adaptation problem.

• Abstract: Air quality monitoring is becoming an essential task with rising awareness about air quality. Low cost air quality sensors are easy to deploy but are not as reliable as the costly and bulky reference monitors. The low quality sensors can be calibrated against the reference monitors with the help of deep learning. In this paper, we translate the task of sensor calibration into a semi-supervised domain adaptation problem and propose a novel solution for the same. The problem is challenging because it is a regression problem with covariate shift and label gap. We use histogram loss instead of mean squared or mean absolute error, which is commonly used for regression, and find it useful against covariate shift. To handle the label gap, we propose weighting of samples for adversarial entropy optimization. In experimental evaluations, the proposed scheme outperforms many competitive baselines, which are based on semi-supervised and supervised domain adaptation, in terms of R2 score and mean absolute error. Ablation studies show the relevance of each proposed component in the entire scheme.

  In autonomous systems, sensor calibration is essential for a safe and efficient navigation in dynamic environments. Many existing LiDAR calibration methods require overlapping fields of view, while others use external sensing devices or postulate a feature-rich environment. In this work, we propose a novel target-based technique for extrinsic Sensor-to-Sensor and Sensor-to-Vehicle calibration of multi-LiDAR systems called CaLiV. This algorithm works for non-overlapping FoVs, as well as arbitrary calibration targets, and does not require any external sensing devices.

  Unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) has witnessed remarkable advancements in improving the accuracy of models for unlabeled target domains.

  classification and regression branches have different sensibility to the features from the same scale level and the same spatial location. We propose a point-based prediction method, which is based on the assumption that the high classification confidence point has the high regression quality, leads to the misalignment problem. We aim to resolve the phenomenon at minimal cost: a minor adjustment of the head network and a new label assignment method replacing the rigid one.

  In many RL applications, once training ends, it is vital to detect any deterioration in the agent performance as soon as possible. We consider an episodic framework, where the rewards within each episode are not independent, nor identically-distributed, nor Markov. We define the mean-shift in a way corresponding to deterioration of a temporal signal (such as the rewards), and derive a test for this problem with optimal statistical power.
