Foundational principles for representation learning: applications in autonomous mobility

Abstract

Transportation is the lifeblood of society, connecting people, goods, places, and opportunities. It ignites the spark that fuels progress, personal joy, and human discovery. It is intrinsically tied to the concept of mobility, that is, the ability to move or be moved. One can see transportation as something you do and mobility as something you have. Mobility is something everyone should have—a universal right that should be collision-free and stress-free. How can we contribute to a society where anyone can freely move, in a safe, efficient, affordable, and environmentally sustainable way?

Feature learning

In machine learning, feature learning or representation learning is a set of techniques that allows a system to automatically discover the representations needed for feature detection or classification from raw data. This replaces manual feature engineering and allows a machine to both learn the features and use them to perform a specific task. Feature learning is motivated by the fact that machine learning tasks such as classification often require input that is mathematically and computationally convenient to process.

Sustainability

Sustainability is a social goal for people to co-exist on Earth over a long time. Specific definitions of this term are disputed and have varied with literature, context, and time. Experts often describe sustainability as having three dimensions (or pillars): environmental, economic, and social, and many publications emphasize the environmental dimension. In everyday use, sustainability often focuses on countering major environmental problems, including climate change, loss of biodiversity, loss of ecosystem services, land degradation, and air and water pollution.

Transport

Transport (in British English) or transportation (in American English) is the intentional movement of humans, animals, and goods from one location to another. Modes of transport include air, land (rail and road), water, cable, pipelines, and space. The field can be divided into infrastructure, vehicles, and operations. Transport enables human trade, which is essential for the development of civilizations.
