Stochastic Prediction

Stochastic prediction focuses on generating probabilistic forecasts, acknowledging inherent uncertainties in predicting future states, particularly in complex dynamic systems. Current research emphasizes improving the accuracy and efficiency of these predictions, exploring methods like Bayesian neural networks and Bayesian optimization to enhance sampling strategies and address the multi-modality of many real-world phenomena, such as human movement and fluid dynamics. This field is crucial for advancing autonomous systems (e.g., robotics, self-driving cars), improving decision-making under uncertainty, and ensuring fairness in machine learning applications by accounting for and mitigating biases in probabilistic predictions.
