Abstract: Some variations provide a method of tailoring the surface of a soft magnet, comprising: depositing an austenite-phase-stabilizing donor material on one or more first surface regions of a ferromagnetic receiver material; not depositing the austenite-phase-stabilizing donor material on one or more second surface regions of the ferromagnetic receiver material; laser melting the austenite-phase-stabilizing donor material into the first surface regions; and solidifying the molten austenite-phase-stabilizing donor material within the first surface regions, thereby selectively alloying the ferromagnetic receiver material in the first surface regions. Laser ablation may be utilized instead of laser melting. The first surface regions have a significantly higher magnetic permeability, following the selective alloying of the donor material, compared to the second surface regions. Soft magnets with surface-tailored magnetic permeability are provided by this technology, which is demonstrated using several examples. One commercial application is selectively alloyed soft magnets for a rotor in an electric motor.

Abstract: Described is a system for object detection that is robust to adversarial attacks. An initial hypothesis of an identity of an object in an input image is generated using a sparse convolutional neural network (CNN) and a distribution aware classifier. A foveated hypothesis verification process is performed for identifying a region of the input image that supports the initial hypothesis. Using a part-based classifier, an identity of a part of the object in the region of the input image is predicted. An attack probability for the predicted identity of the part, and the initial hypothesis is updated based on the predicted identity of the part and the attack probability. The foveated hypothesis verification process and updating of hypotheses is performed until a hypothesis reaches a certainty threshold. The object is labeled based on the hypothesis that reached the certainty threshold.

Abstract: Described is a system for action recognition error detection and correction using probabilistic signal temporal logic. The system is initiated by training an action recognition system to generate true positive (TP)/false positive (FP) axioms. Thereafter, the system ca be used to classify one or more actions in a video sequence as true action classifications by using the TP/FP axioms to remove false action classifications. With the remaining true classifications, a device can be controlled given the situation and relevant true classification.

Abstract: Described is a system for training a neural network for estimating surface normals for use in operating an autonomous platform. The system uses a parallelizable k-nearest neighbor sorting algorithm to provide a patch of points, sampled from the point cloud data, as input to the neural network model. The points are transformed from Euclidean coordinates in a Euclidean space to spherical coordinates. A polar angle of a surface normal of the point cloud data is estimated in the spherical coordinates. The trained neural network model is utilized on the autonomous platform, and the estimate of the polar angle of the surface normal is used to guide operation of the autonomous platform within the environment.

Abstract: Described is a system for multimodal machine-aided comprehension analysis. The system can be implemented in an augmented reality headset that, in conjunction with a processor, generates an initial scene graph of a scene proximate the user. Items and labels are presented, with the headset tracking eye movements of the user as the user gazes upon the subject labels, item labels, and relationship labels. A resulting scene graph (having relationship triplets) is generated based on the eye movements of the user and an amount of time the user spends gazing upon each of the display components. A comprehension model is generated by estimating a user's comprehension of the relationship triplets, with a knowledge model being generated based on a known knowledge graph and the comprehension model. Cues are then presented to the user based on the comprehension and knowledge models to assist the user in their comprehension of the scene.
