Beyond Homoscedasticity: Decoupled Uncertainty Optimization for Deep Imbalanced Regression
The paper introduces DUO, a framework for Deep Imbalanced Regression that models each prediction as a conditional Gaussian to capture instance‑level uncertainty. By decoupling mean and variance optimization, DUO enhances learning signals for tail samples and mitigates gradient coupling that hampers hard examples. A distribution‑guided contrastive learning component further refines feature representations, leading to state‑of‑the‑art performance on several visual and biological regression benchmarks.
