Geospatial Diffusion-based Evolution Synthesis (GeoDES) for Storm-Centered Weather Augmentation

While machine learning-based weather models hold significant promise, they struggle to predict the detailed structure of large-scale weather systems such as cyclonic storms. Regional models are constrained by limited historical records within fixed geographic boundaries, while global models are computationally expensive and often operate at resolutions too coarse to capture fine-grained storm dynamics. To bridge this gap, we introduce the Geospatial Diffusion-based Evolution Synthesis (GeoDES) model, a custom image-to-video diffusion model. By focusing generation strictly on the evolving storm structure, GeoDES synthesizes physically consistent, high-fidelity weather events suitable for stress-testing forecast models and expanding meteorological datasets. Evaluations demonstrate that GeoDES outperforms prior methods on key metrics, achieving $52\%$ lower Peak Vorticity Error and $8\%$ higher Anomaly Correlation Coefficient than the next strongest methods on the North Atlantic test set.

CommonRoad-Game: A Human-in-the-Loop Simulation Framework for Autonomous Driving

Motion planning algorithms should be evaluated in human-in-the-loop environments to ensure they produce safe and efficient behaviors during interactions. However, existing simulation platforms often rely on recorded datasets, lack dedicated interfaces for real-time human interaction, or remain weakly integrated with an autonomous driving ecosystem. Moreover, many human-in-the-loop simulators are computationally intensive by design, making them less suitable for rapid prototyping and flexible experimentation in early-stage autonomous driving research. To address these limitations, we present CommonRoad-Game, a lightweight human-in-the-loop simulation framework tightly integrated with the CommonRoad platform, focusing on the systematic testing of motion planners with human participation and the analysis of human driving behaviors in interactive scenarios. We introduce a multi-threaded architecture with a robust synchronization mechanism that aligns simulation time with wall-clock time, enabling deterministic and temporally consistent interaction between autonomous and human-driven vehicles. In addition, the framework provides a scenario generation module that records driving logs, allowing diverse and reproducible test cases to be constructed from human-in-the-loop experiments. Experimental results demonstrate that CommonRoad-Game achieves stable temporal synchronization, supports scalable multi-agent simulation, and seamlessly integrates CommonRoad-compatible motion planners to generate interactive driving scenarios. The source code is publicly available at https://github.com/Yunfei-Bi8/CommonRoad-Game.

Results of the 2024 CommonRoad Motion Planning Competition for Autonomous Vehicles

Over the past decade, a wide range of motion planning approaches for autonomous vehicles has been developed to handle increasingly complex traffic scenarios. However, these approaches are rarely compared on standardized benchmarks, limiting the assessment of relative strengths and weaknesses. To address this gap, we present the setup and results of the 4th CommonRoad Motion Planning Competition held in 2024, conducted using the CommonRoad benchmark suite. This annual competition provides an open-source and reproducible framework for benchmarking motion planning algorithms. The benchmark scenarios span highway and urban environments with diverse traffic participants, including passenger cars, buses, and bicycles. Planner performance is evaluated along four dimensions: efficiency, safety, comfort, and compliance with selected traffic rules. This report introduces the competition format and provides a comparison of representative high-performing planners from the 2023 and 2024 editions.

A Self-Adaptive Frequency Domain Network for Continuous Intraoperative Hypotension Prediction

Intraoperative hypotension (IOH) is strongly associated with postoperative complications, including postoperative delirium and increased mortality, making its early prediction crucial in perioperative care. While several artificial intelligence-based models have been developed to provide IOH warnings, existing methods face limitations in incorporating both time and frequency domain information, capturing short- and long-term dependencies, and handling noise sensitivity in biosignal data. To address these challenges, we propose a novel Self-Adaptive Frequency Domain Network (SAFDNet). Specifically, SAFDNet integrates an adaptive spectral block, which leverages Fourier analysis to extract frequency-domain features and employs self-adaptive thresholding to mitigate noise. Additionally, an interactive attention block is introduced to capture both long-term and short-term dependencies in the data. Extensive internal and external validations on two large-scale real-world datasets demonstrate that SAFDNet achieves up to 97.3\% AUROC in IOH early warning, outperforming state-of-the-art models. Furthermore, SAFDNet exhibits robust predictive performance and low sensitivity to noise, making it well-suited for practical clinical applications.

Results of the 2023 CommonRoad Motion Planning Competition for Autonomous Vehicles

In recent years, different approaches for motion planning of autonomous vehicles have been proposed that can handle complex traffic situations. However, these approaches are rarely compared on the same set of benchmarks. To address this issue, we present the results of a large-scale motion planning competition for autonomous vehicles based on the CommonRoad benchmark suite. The benchmark scenarios contain highway and urban environments featuring various types of traffic participants, such as passengers, cars, buses, etc. The solutions are evaluated considering efficiency, safety, comfort, and compliance with a selection of traffic rules. This report summarizes the main results of the competition.
