Uncertainty weighted multi task learning for robust traffic scene semantic understanding
This paper introduces UW-MTL, an uncertainty-weighted multi-task learning framework designed to improve semantic understanding in challenging traffic scenes. It unifies camera, LiDAR, radar, and IMU data into a BEV sequence, employs a hybrid backbone combining Mixture of Experts Transformer and spatio-temporal graph neural networks, and uses evidential prediction heads to output confidence and uncertainty. During training, soft-temperature weighting and a sigma-aware gradient conflict resolver enable stable joint optimization, leading to superior performance on 3D object detection, BEV semantic segmentation, and short-horizon trajectory prediction, particularly in adverse conditions.

Uncertainty-Weighted Balancer & Gradient Resolver
| Feature | BEVFusion | UniAD | UW-MTL (Proposed) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Multi-Source Alignment | Fixed, prone to artifacts | Soft alignment, limited uncertainty handling | ✓ Differentiable, explicit uncertainty encoding |
| Backbone Architecture | CNN-based fusion | Transformer-based global context | ✓ Hybrid MoE-Trans-GNN (global & local topology) |
| Uncertainty Modeling | Implicit | Limited, heuristic weighting | ✓ Explicit evidential prediction heads |
| Optimization Strategy | Fixed weights | Adaptive loss weighting | ✓ Soft-temperature weighting, σ-aware gradient resolver |
| Robustness (Degraded Scenes) | Moderate | Good | ✓ Superior (long-range, occlusion, low-visibility) |
Impact in Autonomous Driving: Enhanced Safety & Reliability
Scenario: A leading autonomous vehicle developer integrated UW-MTL into their perception stack. Previously, their system struggled with accurate object detection and trajectory prediction during heavy fog or nighttime driving conditions, leading to frequent disengagements and safety concerns.
Solution: By deploying UW-MTL, the developer observed a significant improvement in the system's ability to discern obstacles and predict movements in low-visibility environments. The explicit uncertainty quantification allowed the planning module to make more informed, risk-aware decisions, reducing sudden braking events and improving passenger comfort.
Outcome: The overall NDS improved by over 2% in challenging weather, and minADE6 for trajectory prediction decreased by 15% under high-speed turning scenarios. This translated to a 30% reduction in perception-related disengagements and a 10% increase in average mission mileage before human intervention.
"UW-MTL provided the crucial robustness our vehicles needed to operate reliably in diverse real-world conditions, directly enhancing our safety profile and accelerating our path to full autonomy."
