Background Wake turbulence are pairs of turbulence generated by aircraft while taking off (Figure 1, left). Flying into wake turbulence can destabilize an aircraft during landing and cause go-around. Thus, minimum distance between landing aircraft is prescribed (Figure 1, right).

Job Description

Developing generally capable reinforcement learning agents poses a significant challenge, especially in hard exploration tasks. Expert robotic data is scarce and expensive, but also reward functions are not easy to design for complex tasks. On the other hand, unlabeled expert video data is abundant, but not straightforward to learn behavioral priors from, as no labels exist (actions).

In this research, we want to investigate how we can train agents on unlabeled expert videos, such as YouTube videos, in a scalable way to master a wide variety of complex tasks, not solvable by conventional reinforcement learning. For support on this topic, we are searching for a motivated student.

Your primary responsibilities will include:

<ul>

 <li>Implementing and training deep learning models.</li>
 <li>Reading related research papers and participating in discussions on the topic.</li>

 <li>Motivated, responsible, and a quick learner.</li>
 <li>Speak either German and/or English.</li>

Job Description

Dealing with the real world is challenging, as changing weather conditions, new objects, situations, etc. alter the data observed by the model. In practice, this data distribution shift or out-of-distribution data makes the model unreliable and hinders the safe deployment of deep neural networks in critical use cases, for example, autonomous driving. Models that fail to generalize in such scenarios may result in dangerous or catastrophic behavior.

In this research, we want to investigate how we can integrate different methods to estimate uncertainty in popular object detection models, to reliably detect when the model might fail. For support on this topic, we are searching for a motivated student.
