Automatically detecting the positions of key-points (e.g., facial key-points or finger key-points) in an image is an essential problem in many applications, such as drivers gaze detection and drowsiness detection in automated driving systems. With the recent advances of Deep Neural Networks (DNNs), Key-Points detection DNNs (KP-DNNs) have been increasingly employed for that purpose. Nevertheless, KP-DNN testing and validation have remained a challenging problem because KP-DNNs predict many independent key-points at the same time -- where each individual key-point may be critical in the targeted application -- and images can vary a great deal according to many factors. In this paper, we present an approach to automatically generate test data for KP-DNNs using many-objective search. In our experiments, focused on facial key-points detection DNNs developed for an industrial automotive application, we show that our approach can generate test suites to severely mispredict, on average, more than 93% of all key-points. In comparison, random search-based test data generation can only severely mispredict 41% of them. Many of these mispredictions, however, are not avoidable and should not therefore be considered failures. We also empirically compare state-of-the-art, many-objective search algorithms and their variants, tailored for test suite generation. Furthermore, we investigate and demonstrate how to learn specific conditions, based on image characteristics (e.g., head posture and skin color), that lead to severe mispredictions. Such conditions serve as a basis for risk analysis or DNN retraining.

With the growing capabilities of autonomous vehicles, there is a higher demand for sophisticated and pragmatic quality assurance approaches for machine learning-enabled systems in the automotive AI context. The use of simulation-based prototyping pla
tforms provides the possibility for early-stage testing, enabling inexpensive testing and the ability to capture critical corner-case test scenarios. Simulation-based testing properly complements conventional on-road testing. However, due to the large space of test input parameters in these systems, the efficient generation of effective test scenarios leading to the unveiling of failures is a challenge. This paper presents a study on testing pedestrian detection and emergency braking system of the Baidu Apollo autonomous driving platform within the SVL simulator. We propose an evolutionary automated test generation technique that generates failure-revealing scenarios for Apollo in the SVL environment. Our approach models the input space using a generic and flexible data structure and benefits a multi-criteria safety-based heuristic for the objective function targeted for optimization. This paper presents the results of our proposed test generation technique in the 2021 IEEE Autonomous Driving AI Test Challenge. In order to demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness of our approach, we also report the results from a baseline random generation technique. Our evaluation shows that the proposed evolutionary test case generator is more effective at generating failure-revealing test cases and provides higher diversity between the generated failures than the random baseline.

Tree ring widths are an important source of climatic and historical data, but measuring these widths typically requires extensive manual work. Computer vision techniques provide promising directions towards the automation of tree ring detection, but
most automated methods still require a substantial amount of user interaction to obtain high accuracy. We perform analysis on 3D X-ray CT images of a cross-section of a tree trunk, known as a tree disk. We present novel automated methods for locating the pith (center) of a tree disk, and ring boundaries. Our methods use a combination of standard image processing techniques and tools from topological data analysis. We evaluate the efficacy of our method for two different CT scans by comparing its results to manually located rings and centers and show that it is better than current automatic methods in terms of correctly counting each ring and its location. Our methods have several parameters, which we optimize experimentally by minimizing edit distances to the manually obtained locations.
The execution of similar units can be compared by their internal behaviors to determine the causes of their potential performance issues. For instance, by examining the internal behaviors of different fast or slow web requests more closely and by clu
stering and comparing their internal executions, one can determine what causes some requests to run slowly or behave in unexpected ways. In this paper, we propose a method of extracting the internal behavior of web requests as well as introduce a pipeline that detects performance issues in web requests and provides insights into their root causes. First, low-level and fine-grained information regarding each request is gathered by tracing both the user space and the kernel space. Second, further information is extracted and fed into an outlier detector. Finally, these outliers are then clustered by their behavior, and each group is analyzed separately. Experiments revealed that this pipeline is indeed able to detect slow web requests and provide additional insights into their true root causes. Notably, we were able to identify a real PHP cache contention using the proposed approach.
This paper proposes Quantizable DNNs, a special type of DNNs that can flexibly quantize its bit-width (denoted as `bit modes thereafter) during execution without further re-training. To simultaneously optimize for all bit modes, a combinational loss
of all bit modes is proposed, which enforces consistent predictions ranging from low-bit mode to 32-bit mode. This Consistency-based Loss may also be viewed as certain form of regularization during training. Because outputs of matrix multiplication in different bit modes have different distributions, we introduce Bit-Specific Batch Normalization so as to reduce conflicts among different bit modes. Experiments on CIFAR100 and ImageNet have shown that compared to quantized DNNs, Quantizable DNNs not only have much better flexibility, but also achieve even higher classification accuracy. Ablation studies further verify that the regularization through the consistency-based loss indeed improves the models generalization performance.
