    Abstract: Described is a system for evaluating and correcting perception errors in object detection and recognition. The system receives perception data from an environment proximate a mobile platform. Perception probes are generated from the perception data which describe perception characteristics of object detections in the perception data. For each perception probe, probabilistic distributions for true positive and false positive values are determined, resulting in true positive and false negative perception probes. Statistical characteristics of true positive perception probes and false positive perception probes are then determined. Based on the statistical characteristics, true positive perception probes are clustered. An axiom is generated to determine statistical constraints for perception validity for each perception probe cluster. The axiom is evaluated to classify the perception probes as valid or erroneous. Optimal perception parameters are generated by solving an optimization problem based on the axiom. The perception module is adjusted based on the optimal perception parameters.

    Abstract: A method for issuing control signals in response to sentiment. In some embodiments, the method includes: assigning, to each of a plurality of comments, a respective topic vector of length k; determining whether a largest element of the topic vector of a first comment of the plurality of comments exceeds a weight threshold; in response to the determining that the largest element exceeds the weight threshold, classifying the first comment into a first topic, of k topics, the first topic corresponding to the position, in the topic vector, of the largest element of the topic vector; calculating a first sentiment score; calculating an average sentiment score, based in part on the first sentiment score; determining whether the average sentiment score meets a criterion; and in response to the determining that the criterion is met, generating a control signal, the control signal including a message related to the first topic.

    Abstract: The disclosed technology provides a nanofunctionalized magnetic material feedstock comprising: from 50 wt % to 99.5 wt % of magnetic microparticles having an average microparticle effective diameter from 1 micron to 500 microns; from 0.4 wt % to 40 wt % of one or more rare earth elements; and from 0.1 wt % to 10 wt % of metal-containing inoculant nanoparticles, wherein at least 1 wt % of the inoculant nanoparticles are chemically and/or physically disposed on surfaces of the magnetic microparticles. The nanofunctionalized magnetic material feedstock is processed using high-throughput laser-based additive manufacturing to optimize the architecture of NdFeB or other magnets, generating site-specific, demagnetization-resistant microstructures. This disclosure teaches a rapid, single-step laser-based process to tailor the easy axis alignment, grain size, and microstructure of a permanent magnet at corners and edges to resist demagnetization.
