UCLA 2012 1st year review. UCLA 2012
Kickoff Kickoff Value of Information Thrust #3 – Information Exploitation Closed-loop Information Collection VOI “Hard” Seeks higher levels of situational awareness: Sensor Data • A virus is attacking the routers in our deployed sensor network Data Search Agents Fusion Inference Control Embedded Simulations • A terrorist attack on next week’s summit meeting is being organized Intelligence Data Human Input “Soft” … ultimately reaching as far as prognosis of adversarial intent. 1st year review. UCLA 2012
Kickoff !6 !5 !3 !1 !2 !4 !7 !8 Thrust #3 – Information Exploitation Research Objectives from Proposal VOI • Assess and apply new VoI measures for resource-limited multistage inference with feedback • Adversarial planning and new surrogate planning criteria • Game theoretic framework. Surrogate planning criteria apply state-of-art classifier learning theory to multistage planning • Develop information theory and geometry for planning in autonomous robotic and vision systems • Coupled information planning unifies sensing, communication, and control • Significant improvement of mission planning UAV and ground-based systems incorporating multiple sensing modalities • Discover low complexity algorithms with guaranteed performance • Will be applied toward navigation, target pursuit and weapon-target assignment
Kickoff !6 !5 !3 !1 !2 !4 !7 !8 Thrust #3 – Information Exploitation Overview of Today’s Topics VOI • VoI for adversarial information structures (Emre Ertin) • VoI metrics suited to scenarios involving adversarial action as well as uncertainty • Sensor system design and control of sensing actions to maximize these metrics • Distributed sensing and fusion with uncertainty and communication constraints (Jon How) • Distributed and adaptive censoring-based inference scheme • Information-geometric sensor management(Doug Cochran) • Geodesic curves in a manifold of sensing configurations correspond to information-rich sensor trajectories for parameter estimation • Posters • Multistage adaptive estimation of sparse signals • VoI-aware active task assignment Individual presenters will point out connections to other Thrusts
