New research examines uncertainty in image segmentation models

A new paper on arXiv explores uncertainty quantification (UQ) in image segmentation, a critical area for safety-sensitive applications. The research investigates the interaction between aleatoric uncertainty (data-related) and epistemic uncertainty (model-related), noting significant entanglement between them that can reduce interpretability. The study proposes a metric to quantify this entanglement and finds that ensembles generally perform better with lower entanglement, while softmax models show varied results depending on the dataset and calibration task.

    Rethinking Uncertainty Quantification and Entanglement in Image Segmentation

    arXiv:2603.18792v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Uncertainty quantification (UQ) is crucial in safety-critical applications such as medical image segmentation. Total uncertainty is typically decomposed into data-related aleatoric uncertainty (AU) and model-related epistemic un…
