Robust Uncertainty

Robust uncertainty estimation in deep learning aims to accurately quantify the confidence of model predictions, particularly when encountering out-of-distribution data or noisy inputs. Current research focuses on developing methods that integrate diverse techniques, such as Bayesian neural networks, Monte Carlo dropout, and conformal prediction, often within modified or ensemble architectures, to improve the reliability and robustness of uncertainty quantification across various tasks (e.g., image classification, regression, segmentation). This is crucial for deploying deep learning models in safety-critical applications like medical imaging and autonomous systems, where understanding and managing uncertainty is paramount for reliable and trustworthy performance.
