AdaptAV: Continuous Adaption of Vision Models for Autonomous Vehicles Using Cloud-based Oracle

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces AdaptAV, a system that continuously adapts vision models for autonomous vehicles by retraining them on the cloud using data uploaded from the vehicles. It leverages powerful cloud compute resources and a highly accurate oracle model to guide the retraining process, producing a new model that is then transmitted back to the vehicle. This approach aims to improve inference accuracy over time while maintaining the fast inference speeds required for on‑vehicle deployment.

Recursive Block-Diagonal Coupling for Resource-Efficient Training of Vision Models

The paper introduces Recursive Block-Diagonal Coupling (RBDC), a training protocol that builds wide vision models by recursively coupling narrower, independently trained models in a parameter‑free block‑diagonal manner. RBDC allows flexible allocation of training budgets across all models and, when applied to vision transformers (DeiT) and convolutional networks (ResNet) on ImageNet, achieves a 30% reduction in FLOPs while maintaining similar test accuracies. Additionally, models trained with RBDC outperform those from existing growth methods at the same training FLOPs and serve as stronger backbones for downstream tasks such as object detection and instance segmentation.

MILER: Semantic Mid-Level Representation for Sim-to-Real Reinforcement Learning in Unstructured Autonomous Driving

MILER is an end‑to‑end reinforcement learning framework that achieves zero‑shot sim‑to‑real transfer for autonomous driving in unstructured environments. It uses a custom semantic mid‑level representation (MLR) simulator for offline training, and during deployment it processes real camera and LiDAR data with BEVFusion to produce a compatible bird’s‑eye‑view representation. The policy’s actions are applied via a trajectory‑alignment strategy, allowing the system to drive 17.3 km on a 3.0 km test track without human intervention, all running on a Jetson AGX Orin.

A Survey on End-to-End Autonomous Driving Training from the Perspectives of Data, Strategy, and Platform

The paper reviews end‑to‑end autonomous driving (E2E‑AD) training, framing it as a Data‑Strategy‑Platform system. It surveys recent advances in data pipelines, learning paradigms, and training infrastructures, and discusses how these layers interact to influence model performance, robustness, and deployability. The authors highlight current limitations and propose a future vision that prioritizes data value, foundation‑driven generalization, and integrated training‑testing loops for more robust, scalable, and trustworthy autonomous driving systems.
