Autonomous vehicles need to model the behavior of surrounding human driven vehicles to be safe and efficient traffic participants. Existing approaches to modeling human driving behavior have relied on both data-driven and rulebased methods. While data-driven models are more expressive, rule-based models are interpretable, which is an important requirement for safety-critical domains like driving. However, rule-based models are not sufficiently representative of data, and data-driven models are yet unable to generate realistic traffic simulation due to unrealistic driving behavior such as collisions. In this paper, we propose a methodology that combines rule-based modeling with data-driven learning. While the rules are governed by interpretable parameters of the driver model, these parameters are learned online from driving demonstration data using particle filtering. We perform driver modeling experiments on the task of highway driving and merging using data from three real-world driving demonstration datasets. Our results show that driver models based on our hybrid rule-based and data-driven approach can accurately capture real-world driving behavior. Further, we assess the realism of the driving behavior generated by our model by having humans perform a "driving Turing test," where they are asked to distinguish between videos of real driving and those generated using our driver models.

Hyperscanning with functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) is an emerging neuroimaging application that measures the nuanced neural signatures underlying social interactions. Researchers have assessed the effect of sex and task type (e.g., cooperation versus competition) on inter-brain coherence during human-to-human interactions. However, no work has yet used deep learning-based approaches to extract insights into sex and task-based differences in an fNIRS hyperscanning context. This work proposes a convolutional neural network-based approach to dyadic sex composition and task classification for an extensive hyperscanning dataset with N = 222 participants. Interbrain signal similarity computed using dynamic time warping is used as the input data. The proposed approach achieves a maximum classification accuracy of greater than 80 percent, thereby providing a new avenue for exploring and understanding complex brain behavior.
