WHAT WILL BE YOUR ROLE?

Deep learning techniques usually thrive when large sets of labelled data are available. In the radar domain, labelled data tend to be scarce depending on the application area. By exploiting expert knowledge it may be possible to improve the training process and overall performance when using only small labelled data sets. From experience an expert may know what features are more distinctive or less distinctive given the specified target classes. In addition, the characteristics of the background clutter in different radar measurements may vary. This can affect the training process, which is undesired if the background clutter does not contain information about the target class (as is typically the case). In these cases, an expert might be able to give the neural network a nudge in the right direction.

The goal of this assignment is to investigate what type of expert knowledge would be useful to streamline the training process and how this knowledge should be used in that process. For this assignment, visualisation techniques, highlighting the image pixels that are used for classification, can be a supporting tool. Subsequently neural attention can be applied to focus the training process on those image pixels that actually contain relevant information. Radar measurements of different target classes are available for this assignment.

You will perform this assignment in the Department of Radar Technology. We are a passionate and creative group of professionals (60 people) dedicated to the specification, development and evaluation of innovative, high-performance MMICs, miniaturised and integrated RF subsystems, antennas and front-ends. The department is at the heart of novel, game-changing radar system and signal processing concepts for the military, space and civil domains.
