• Abstract: Machine learning proves effective in constructing dynamics models from data, especially for underwater vehicles. Continuous refinement of these models using incoming data streams, however, often requires storage of an overwhelming amount of redundant data. This work investigates the use of uncertainty in the selection of data points to rehearse in online learning when storage capacity is constrained. The models are learned using an ensemble of multilayer perceptrons as they perform well at predicting epistemic uncertainty. We present three novel approaches: the Threshold method, which excludes samples with uncertainty below a specified threshold, the Greedy method, designed to maximize uncertainty among the stored points, and Threshold-Greedy, which combines the previous two approaches. The methods are assessed on data collected by an underwater vehicle Dagon. Comparison with baselines reveals that the Threshold exhibits enhanced stability throughout the learning process and also yields a model with the least cumulative testing loss. We also conducted detailed analyses on the impact of model parameters and storage size on the performance of the models, as well as a comparison of three different uncertainty estimation methods.

  Adapting pre-trained deep learning models to new and unknown environments is a difficult challenge in underwater acoustic localization. We show that although pre-trained models have performance that suffers from mismatch between the training and test data, they generally exhibit a higher implied uncertainty'' in environments where there is more mismatch. We use an efficient method to quantify model prediction uncertainty, and an innovative approach to adapt a pre-trained model to unseen underwater environments at test time.

  We propose a novel approach to integrate uncertainty-based active learning and LoRA. For the uncertainty gap, we introduce a dynamic uncertainty measurement that combines the uncertainty of the base model and the uncertainty of the full model. For poor model calibration, we incorporate the regularization method during LoRA training to keep the model from being over-confident.

  We propose Contrastive Model Inversion, where the data diversity is explicitly modeled as an optimizable objective. Our main observation is that, under the constraint of the same amount of data, higher data diversity usually indicates stronger instance discrimination. Experiments on CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and Tiny-ImageNet demonstrate that CMI achieves significantly superior performance when the generated data are used for knowledge distillation.
