Data-Quality Framework for Multi-source & Multi-modal Data Analytics
Data-Quality Framework for Multi-source & Multi-modal Data Analytics
The reliability and safety of AI systems, particularly in autonomous driving, depend fundamentally on the quality of multisource and multimodal data. Advancing from model-centric approaches toward a task-oriented framework that links data quality with system performance and decision accuracy is essential for building trustworthy and efficient intelligent systems.

Federated Learning in Dynamic Connected Autonomous Vehicles
Federated learning (FL) enables Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs) to continuously learn from diverse driving environments while keeping raw sensor data on each vehicle, preserving privacy and reducing bandwidth demands. It bridges algorithmic intelligence with real-world system constraints, linking sensing, communication, and computation to ensure adaptive, safe, and scalable autonomy under heterogeneous conditions
