Uncertainty Quantification for Machine Learning: One Size Does Not Fit All

Paul Hofman, Yusuf Sale, Eyke Hüllermeier

Proper quantification of predictive uncertainty is essential for the use of machine learning in safety-critical applications. Various uncertainty measures have been proposed for th…

Uncertainty Quantification with Proper Scoring Rules: Adjusting Measures to Prediction Tasks

Paul Hofman, Yusuf Sale, Eyke Hüllermeier

We address the problem of uncertainty quantification and propose measures of total, aleatoric, and epistemic uncertainty based on a known decomposition of (strictly) proper scoring…

Credal Prediction based on Relative Likelihood

Timo Löhr, Paul Hofman, Felix Mohr +1

Predictions in the form of sets of probability distributions, so-called credal sets, provide a suitable means to represent a learner's epistemic uncertainty. In this paper, we prop…

An Axiomatic Assessment of Entropy- and Variance-based Uncertainty Quantification in Regression

Christopher Bülte, Yusuf Sale, Timo Löhr +3

Uncertainty quantification is crucial in machine learning, yet most (axiomatic) studies of uncertainty measures focus on classification, leaving a gap in regression settings with l…

Label-wise Aleatoric and Epistemic Uncertainty Quantification

Yusuf Sale, Paul Hofman, Timo Löhr +3

We present a novel approach to uncertainty quantification in classification tasks based on label-wise decomposition of uncertainty measures. This label-wise perspective allows unce…

Conformal Prediction with Partially Labeled Data

Alireza Javanmardi, Yusuf Sale, Paul Hofman +1

While the predictions produced by conformal prediction are set-valued, the data used for training and calibration is supposed to be precise. In the setting of superset learning or…

Quantifying Aleatoric and Epistemic Uncertainty in Machine Learning: Are Conditional Entropy and Mutual Information Appropriate Measures?

Lisa Wimmer, Yusuf Sale, Paul Hofman +2

The quantification of aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty in terms of conditional entropy and mutual information, respectively, has recently become quite common in machine learning…
