Researchers have introduced the Neural Conjugate Aggregation Model (NCAM), a novel Bayesian framework designed for unsupervised multi-sensor data fusion. NCAM integrates neural networks with conjugate Gaussian inference to learn sensor-specific biases and reliability, enabling the decomposition of uncertainty into epistemic and aleatoric components. The model addresses structural non-identifiability through sensor anchoring and variance regularization, ensuring stable and interpretable aggregation of data from multiple sources. Experiments on synthetic and real-world air-quality data indicate that NCAM outperforms existing unsupervised methods in predictive accuracy and uncertainty calibration. AI
