New estimators trace epistemic uncertainty in deep learning models

Researchers have adapted classical statistical estimators to quantify epistemic uncertainty in deep learning models. This new approach utilizes recent advancements in approximate Fisher Information Matrices, allowing it to scale to complex architectures. The method differentiates between aleatoric uncertainty (due to scarce data) and epistemic uncertainty, demonstrating practical utility in enhancing the robustness of real-world applications by showing how individual data points are affected by each source. AI

IMPACT This research could lead to more robust and reliable deep learning applications by providing better insights into prediction uncertainty.

    Tracing sources of epistemic uncertainty in deep learning predictions: homo- and hetero-scedastic linearized estimators

    arXiv:2608.07630v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We adapt two classical statistical estimators for quantifying uncertainty to modern deep learning, in order to provide clearer insights into uncertainty attributable to two sources : aleatoric uncertainty, or locally scarce data. …
