Job Description

Generation of synthetic traffic scenarios is an important part of scaling simulation-based verification of safety-critical components in self-driving vehicles like planner software. This field has seen a multitude of publications within the past 1-2 years. However, most of these methods require a high-definition map (HD map) as input and generate the scenario by placing traffic agents on the provided map. This is a disadvantage since HD maps are expensive and have limited coverage. A few papers have investigated combined map and scenario generation. However, none of these methods have focused on controllability of the generation process.

• During your assignment you will extend HD map generation such that they can be conditioned on external input including natural language.
• You will understand and use state-of-the-art language conditioning for diffusion models and apply these techniques to map generation.

Qualifications

• Education: Master studies in the field of Computer Science, Machine Learning or comparable
• Experience and Knowledge: with Python and deep learning frameworks (PyTorch); experience in autonomous driving research, with diffusion models and using pretrained model repositories (e.g.: hugging face) is a plus
• Personality and Working Practice: you work effectively in interdisciplinary teams, contribute ideas and can communicate complex technical concepts clearly and convincingly, furthermore you can analyse complex data quickly
• Languages: fluent in English
