Data Science Talk @ CMUPortugal

AI Learns to Race: Machine Learning for Autonomous Driving

Evento online

Por Eric Nyberg (Carnegie Mellon University).

This talk will present the Roborace challenge, the first global event for autonomous Formula-1 race cars. The Roborace organization provides full-size autonomous vehicles, as well as simulation software for training and testing autonomous driving agents; the competing research teams are responsible for improving the driving capabilities of the vehicle to navigate increasingly difficult autonomous racing challenges. In 2020, a team of students from CMU’s Master of Computational Data Science (MCDS) program became the first U.S. team to participate in Roborace. In this talk, we present our experiences so far, and outline our efforts to move beyond classic approaches with a completely general, reinforcement learning approach for training autonomous driving agents.


As sessões Data Science Talks @ CMU Portugal visam demonstrar alguns dos tópicos que irão ser abordados nos Programas de Formação Avançada em Data Science e Machine Learning e User Experience Design (em parceria com Ciências ULisboa), através da participação de vários convidados especialistas na área.

Participação mediante inscrição prévia.
