Autonomous Car – Learning Algorithms

Genetic algorithm and Backpropagation in autonomous cars

Autonomous cars need learning in order to recognize their environment and behave consistently. Neural networks give us the opportunity to develop complex behaviors and tasks like driving.

I have implemented two algorithms that are widely used in machine learning: backpropagation (supervised learning) and genetic algorithm (reinforcement learning).

LiDAR: Autonomous Car

LiDAR implementation in self-driving cars

LiDAR (Light Imaging, Direction And Ranging) is a method that measures the distance to a target by illuminating the target with pulsed laser light and measuring the reflected pulses with a sensor. Autonomous cars take advantage of this new technology.

Convolutional Neural Network (CNN)

Convolutional neural network introduction and tutorial

Introduction

Convolutional neural network (CNN or ConvNet) is a type of neural network used in artificial intelligence that is commonly applied to analyzing images.

They can be considered a pre-processing compared to image classification algorithms. They have applications in image and video recognition, recommender systems, image classification, natural language processing, etc.

Notation

f^l : filter size.
p^l : padding.
s^l : stride.
n^{l-1}_H \times n^{l-1}_W \times n^{l-1}_C: input.
n^{l}_H \times n^{l}_W \times n^{l}_C: output.
n^l = \floor{\frac{n^{l-1}+2p^l-f^l}{s^l}+1}.
f^l \times f^l \times n_c^l : filter.
a^l : activation function.
n_c^l : bias.

Molecular Chemistry Simulator & Editor

This application allows you to create molecules with bonds between atoms. There is no need a further background in chemistry, it has an intuitive user interface and only a few instructions of use:

  • New: This creates a new molecule.
  • Add: adds new atom to the atom selected.
  • Atom Type: enable you to select atoms in a wide variety of them.
  • Delete: deletes the molecule.
