An Analysis of the Effects of Hyperparameters on the Performance of Simulated Autonomous Vehicles
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Reinforcement learning (RL) is emerging as an effective technique to study autonomous vehicles (AVs) that are capable of navigating their surroundings safely and accurately. This is due to the fact that with RL, an agent can evaluate its surroundings and make appropriate decisions to maximize rewards without the need for human intervention. RL offers an alternative solution to complement Supervised learning solutions in the AV field and it offers some additional flexibility that makes it ideal to study the subject and test-focused solutions. To apply RL to AVs, we train the algorithm on a simulator, called AWS’s DeepRacer, first. The scope of this paper focuses on the hyperparameters of the algorithm and studies the performance of the model and how the hyperparameters affect it. As the need for autonomous vehicles increases to reduce traffic congestion and car crashes, it becomes significantly important to study the performance of AVs based on the hyperparameters of reinforcement learning.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
