Bayesian Optimization-based Tire Parameter and Uncertainty Estimation for Real-World Data

arXiv ·

This paper introduces a Bayesian optimization method for estimating tire parameters and their uncertainty, addressing a gap in existing literature. The methodology uses Stochastic Variational Inference to estimate parameters and uncertainties, and it is validated against a Nelder-Mead algorithm. The approach is applied to real-world data from the Abu Dhabi Autonomous Racing League, revealing uncertainties in identifying curvature and shape parameters due to insufficient excitation. Why it matters: The research provides a practical tool for assessing tire model parameters in real-world conditions, with implications for autonomous racing and vehicle dynamics modeling in the GCC region.

Uncertainty Estimation: Can your neural network provide confidence for its predictions?

MBZUAI ·

Dr. Maxim Panov from TII Abu Dhabi will give a talk on uncertainty estimation in neural networks, covering model calibration, ensemble methods, and Bayesian approaches. The talk will focus on efficient single-network methods for quantifying prediction confidence, without requiring ensembles or major training changes. Panov's background includes experience at Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology and DATADVANCE Company. Why it matters: Improving uncertainty estimation is crucial for deploying reliable AI systems in critical applications across the GCC region.
