Methods for discovering rare failures in autonomous systems have so far been demonstrated almost exclusively in simulations with simple, academic driving stacks, leaving open whether they generalize to the more robust planners used in commercial systems. We address this gap by ap…
Flight test is shifting toward a data-centric approach in which data contribute to model refinement, reducing reliance on pre-scripted test points. An open problem is how to sequence maneuvers within a sortie to maximize uncertainty reduction under resource limits. We present a r…
Normalizing flows are powerful generative models that learn an invertible mapping between complex data distributions and simple latent distributions, typically a standard normal density. However, this choice of latent density can impose unnecessary complexity on the learned flow…
