Road segmentation is a critical task for autonomous driving systems, requiring accurate and robust methods to classify road surfaces from various environmental data. Our work introduces an innovative approach that integrates LiDAR point cloud data, visual image, and relative depth maps derived from images. The integration of multiple data sources in road segmentation presents both opportunities and challenges. One of the primary challenges is the scarcity of large-scale, accurately labeled datasets that are necessary for training robust deep learning models. To address this, we have developed the [UdeerLID+] framework under a semi-supervised learning paradigm. Experiments results on KITTI datasets validate the superior performance.

Extracting multiple relations from text sentences is still a challenge for current Open Relation Extraction (Open RE) tasks. In this paper, we develop several Open RE models based on the bidirectional LSTM-CRF (BiLSTM-CRF) neural network and different contextualized word embedding methods. We also propose a new tagging scheme to solve overlapping problems and enhance models' performance. From the evaluation results and comparisons between models, we select the best combination of tagging scheme, word embedder, and BiLSTM-CRF network to achieve an Open RE model with a remarkable extracting ability on multiple-relation sentences.
