TEMPEST: Temporal Embeddings for Scalable Driver Identification via Angular Margin Learning

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2610.06855v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Scalable driver identification requires embedding models that maintain discriminative performance as fleet size grows, yet existing triplet-loss formulations degrade rapidly with driver pool size and overfit to session-specific patterns under rigorous temporal evaluation. We introduce TEMPEST, a Temporal Convolutional Network embedding model trained with an additive angular margin (ArcFace) loss that enforces global class-level separation in a normalized angular space. TEMPEST maps 60-second multimodal driving windows to compact 96-dimensional embeddings, supporting truly dynamic enrollment without any retraining or classifier refitting. Under rigorous temporal evaluation on a 45-driver dataset, TEMPEST achieves 91.71% Rank-1 accuracy, outper
