OOD detection for 1D LiDAR scans by Mishra, Pradyumn

“…This paper focuses on enhancing OOD detection in the context of LiDAR-based autonomous vehicle navigation, using VAEs and β-VAEs, the latter designed to encourage disentanglement in the latent space by adjusting a regularization parameter, β. Additionally, this study evaluates the models on varied track environments using the F1tenth framework, to measure of these OOD detection architectures across varied environments.…”

Designing negotiation agents for automated negotiating agents competition (ANAC) by Chen, Kevin Xian Fa

“…XianFaAgent takes an exploitative stance at the start of a negotiation session and estimates the opponent’s concessive behavior to make adjustments on how much it should concede. XianFaAgent also bases its own concessive function based on the degree of similarity of preferences amongst the competing agents, ensuring that it is not short-change of too much utility in cases where optimal social welfare can be achieved. …”
