Modal Uncertainty
Modal uncertainty, the presence of multiple possible outcomes or behaviors in a system, is a significant challenge in various fields, particularly autonomous driving and multi-agent systems. Current research focuses on developing robust methods to handle this uncertainty, employing techniques like Bayesian games, model predictive control (incorporating learning-based multimodal predictors), and curriculum learning within multi-agent reinforcement learning frameworks. These approaches aim to improve decision-making and control in uncertain environments by explicitly modeling and managing the different possible future states, leading to safer and more efficient systems in applications ranging from autonomous vehicles to human-computer interaction.
