Automatic labeling of data by an entity gathering the data

A method comprising:

• receiving first identification of data to be gathered, via a request configured based on a configuration file associated with a machine learning model stored by a vehicle;
• receiving second identification of how the data is to be labeled, based on at least metadata defined by the configuration file;
• gathering the data identified by the first identification;
• creating one or more topics for publication of the gathered data, onboard the vehicle;
• publishing, to the one or more topics, both the gathered data and the metadata usable to label the gathered data in accordance with the second identification defined by the configuration file, as published data;
• subscribing to the topics to receive the published data and the metadata;
• appending labels to the data, using the metadata, to label the data in accordance with the second identification of how the data is to be labeled defined by the configuration file;
• and
• saving the labeled data in vehicle memory as data associated with the model.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:

• receiving first identification of data to be gathered, via a request configured based on a configuration file associated with a machine learning model stored by a vehicle;
• receiving second identification of how the data is to be labeled, based on at least metadata defined by the configuration file;
• gathering the data identified by the first identification;
• creating one or more topics for publication of the gathered data, onboard the vehicle;
• publishing, to the one or more topics, both the gathered data and the metadata usable to label the gathered data in accordance with the second identification defined by the configuration file, as published data;
• subscribing to the topics to receive the published data and the metadata;
• appending labels to the data, using the metadata, to label the data in accordance with the second identification of how the data is to be labeled defined by the configuration file;
• and
• saving the labeled data in vehicle memory as data associated with the model.
