Affine Invariant Ensemble Transform Methods to Improve Predictive Uncertainty in ReLU Networks

Diksha Bhandari, Jakiw Pidstrigach, Sebastian Reich

We consider the problem of performing Bayesian inference for logistic regression using appropriate extensions of the ensemble Kalman filter. Two interacting particle systems are proposed that sample from an approximate posterior and prove quantitative convergence rates of these interacting particle systems to their mean-field limit as the number of particles tends to infinity. Furthermore, we apply these techniques and examine their effectiveness as methods of Bayesian approximation for quantifying predictive uncertainty in ReLU networks.
