The paper presents the first systematic evaluation of uncertainty quantification (UQ) methods applied to a foundation model for semantic segmentation. By fine‑tuning a lightweight DPT decoder on the pretrained SAM2 encoder, the authors benchmark four UQ approaches—Monte Carlo Dropout, Deep Sub‑Ensemble, Test‑Time Augmentation, and Evidential Deep Learning—across Cityscapes, NYUv2, and two out‑of‑domain settings. The study compares segmentation accuracy, calibration, uncertainty quality, and inference time, revealing trade‑offs between predictive performance, reliability, and computational cost.
arXiv:2412. 18980v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Uncertainty-aware deep learning (DL) models recently gained attention in fault diagnosis as a way to promote the reliable detection of faults when out-of-distribution (OOD) data arise from unseen faults (epistemic uncertainty) or the presence of noise (aleatoric uncertainty).
The paper introduces an uncertainty‑driven training framework for 3D CT lung nodule classification that uses validation‑based uncertainty estimates to reweight the loss, aiming to improve predictive performance and probability calibration. Two uncertainty quantification methods—Monte Carlo Dropout and Evidential Deep Learning—are evaluated across multiple backbone architectures (ResNet, DenseNet, EfficientNet, ViT, Swin) on the LIDC‑IDRI and NoduleMNIST3D datasets. The approach yields comparable classification accuracy to conventional training while substantially reducing expected calibration error, especially on convolutional backbones, and shows that simple temperature scaling can also achieve strong calibration.
