    In this work, we present recEnergy, a recommender system for reducing energy consumption in commercial buildings with human-in-the-loop. We formulate the building energy optimization problem as a Markov Decision Process, show how deep reinforcement learning can be used to learn energy saving recommendations, and effectively engage occupants in energy-saving actions. is a recommender system that learns actions with high energy saving potential, actively distribute recommendations to occupants in a commercial building, and utilize feedback from the occupants to learn better energy saving recommendations. Over a four week user study, four different types of energy saving recommendations were trained and learned. improves building energy reduction from a baseline saving (passive-only strategy) of 19% to 26%.

    Vehicle flow estimation has many potential smart cities and transportation applications. Many cities have existing camera networks which broadcast image feeds; however, the resolution and frame-rate are too low for existing computer vision algorithms to accurately estimate flow. In this work, we present a computer vision and deep learning framework for vehicle tracking. We demonstrate a novel tracking pipeline which enables accurate flow estimates in a range of environments under low resolution and frame-rate constraints. We demonstrate that our system is able to track vehicles in New York City's traffic camera video feeds at 1 Hz or lower frame-rate, and produces higher traffic flow accuracy than popular open source tracking frameworks.
