Bayesian Neural Networks gain lightweight heteroscedastic uncertainty inference

Researchers have developed a new framework for Bayesian Neural Networks (BNNs) that efficiently incorporates heteroscedastic uncertainties. This approach embeds both aleatoric and epistemic variances into the BNN parameters themselves, enhancing performance for lighter networks. The method also utilizes moment propagation for sampling-free variational inference, making it practical for lightweight BNN applications. AI

    A Framework for Variational Inference of Lightweight Bayesian Neural Networks with Heteroscedastic Uncertainties

    arXiv:2402.14532v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Obtaining heteroscedastic predictive uncertainties from a Bayesian Neural Network (BNN) is vital to many applications. Often, heteroscedastic aleatoric uncertainties are learned as outputs of the BNN in addition to the pre…
