NVIDIA Autonomous Vehicle Applied Research (AVAR) Team

Welcome to the homepage of NVIDIA's Autonomous Vehicles Applied Research (AVAR) team, led by Jose M. Alvarez. We are part of the Intelligent Lab (SIL) organization lead by Sanja Fidler. The team focuses on several research areas related to AV and Physical AI. We are particularly interested in:

  • End-to-End methods for Autonomous Driving and Phyisical AI
  • Data-centric deep learning
  • Efficient and scalable systems
We are currently looking for outstanding candidates to join our team as a research interns.

Highlights

  • April 2024: 1 paper accepted at IEEE-IV 2024.
  • Feb 2024: 4 papers accepted at CVPR 2024.
  • Feb 2024: We will host the Workshop on Autonomous Driving at CVPR 2024.
  • Feb 2024: We will host the GPU-based DL Acceleration tutorial at CVPR 2024.
  • Jan 2024: 2 papers accepted at ICLR 2024 on efficient and robust large models.
