Measurement Modality

Measurement modality research focuses on integrating data from multiple sources (e.g., visual, acoustic, tactile) to gain a more comprehensive understanding of a system or phenomenon than any single modality allows. Current research emphasizes developing robust methods for fusing data from diverse sources, often employing machine learning techniques like deep learning, Gaussian processes, and dimensionality reduction algorithms (e.g., variational autoencoders) to handle high-dimensional and noisy data. This integrated approach improves accuracy and reliability in applications ranging from autonomous driving and human-robot interaction to materials science and biological data analysis, ultimately leading to more insightful and reliable scientific discoveries and technological advancements.
