Machine Learning Explainability and Transferability for Path Navigation

Deep neural networks are powerful tools for machine perception. Unfortunately their decisions are difficult to explain due to the complexity and size of the networks. Previously we have alleviated this issue by using the representational portion of a deep neural network and combining it with a k-nearest neighbor (KNN) classifier. Through inspection of the decisions made by the KNN, we can directly see the training data responsible for the decisions, allowing us to determine the quality of the overall decision and the quality of the representational layer of the deep NN. While the technique worked well, it requires tens of thousands of latent vectors to be stored for classification. In addition, it lacks the ability to show how parts of an image influence the classification decision. Here we address these issues by 1) Using a radial basis function network (RBFN) in place of the KNN allowing far fewer images to be used in deployment and 2) Using an auto encoder network for explainability. In addition to these techniques, we examine the effects of transfer learning to determine that results are robust. All results are tested on a domain where an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) navigates a forest trail through a single camera.

Predicting Cognitive States Using Machine Learning Fusion Paradigms to Reduce Model Uncertainty

The development of a synergetic system between humans and technology is a challenge that the scientific community has been facing for many years. Our aeronautic research aims to enhance this synergy between humans and machines through predictive human performance modeling for systems to mitigate high-risk situations. By being able to predict and anticipate human states, the crew monitoring system should be able to adjust and support the pilot for aviation safety. Our work focusing on attention-related human performance-limiting states (AHPLS) that impact a pilot’s performance and introduce high-risk catastrophic situations [1]. For example, AHPLS has been cited as a causal factor in more than 50% of all loss control in flight and thus contributes significantly toward commercial aviation fatalities [1, 2]. Cognitive state and its physiological fingerprint can be valuable information for this detecting AHPLS, but human cognitive state detection is still a major limitation for these crew monitoring systems.

A Preliminary Development of The Intelligent Change Detection System (ICDS): Using Machine Learning to Combat Change Blindness in Remote Operation Environments

The emergence of Advance Air Mobility (AAM) will increase the number and types of aerial vehicles operating in shared airspaces, which will subsequently affect the amount of actionable data that ground control station operators (GCSOs) will be expected to manage. In this environment, GCSOs are particularly susceptible to the visual perceptual phenomenon known as change blindness, in which a stimulus undergoes a change without the change being noticed by its observer. A machine agent designed to detect change blindness and mitigate the effects could improve human agent performance in a data-saturated remote operations environment. The objective of this paper is to describe a proof-of-concept system architecture that integrates real-time eye tracking and vehicle telemetry data to prevent human-agent errors resulting from change blindness while operating aircraft from a remote ground control station (GCS).
