Robustness of Epinets against Distributional Shifts
Xiuyuan Lu, Ian Osband, Seyed Mohammad Asghari +4
Recent work introduced the epinet as a new approach to uncertainty modeling in deep learning. An epinet is a small neural network added to traditional neural networks, which, toget…
Ensembles for Uncertainty Estimation: Benefits of Prior Functions and Bootstrapping
Vikranth Dwaracherla, Zheng Wen, Ian Osband +3
In machine learning, an agent needs to estimate uncertainty to efficiently explore and adapt and to make effective decisions. A common approach to uncertainty estimation maintains…
An Analysis of Ensemble Sampling
Chao Qin, Zheng Wen, Xiuyuan Lu +1
Ensemble sampling serves as a practical approximation to Thompson sampling when maintaining an exact posterior distribution over model parameters is computationally intractable. In…
Evaluating High-Order Predictive Distributions in Deep Learning
Ian Osband, Zheng Wen, Seyed Mohammad Asghari +3
Most work on supervised learning research has focused on marginal predictions. In decision problems, joint predictive distributions are essential for good performance. Previous wor…
