arXiv:2608.21967v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automated visual inspection in manufacturing aims to replace slow and inconsistent manual checks, but its economic value depends on whether its decisio...
arXiv:2608. 07770v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Automated anomaly detection methods often report strong performance on curated academic benchmarks, but their behavior under real-world industrial conditions is less clear.
arXiv:2609.13914v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Machine-learning models are commonly developed under an assumption that training and test data are sufficiently complete, balanced, labelled, and drawn...
arXiv:2606. 10777v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Uncertainty estimation is critical for deploying machine learning models in high-stakes settings.
The paper introduces FuDU, a streaming active learning framework that enhances real‑time industrial defect detection by quantifying uncertainty at both image and box levels. It employs a Prototype-based Global Uncertainty Quantification module to assess image‑level uncertainty and a Dual‑entropy defect Uncertainty Evaluator for box‑level uncertainty. By fusing these uncertainties through fuzzy inference, FuDU enables expert‑knowledge‑driven adaptive sampling, improving reliability in tasks such as nuclear fuel rod defect detection.
The paper introduces egRUE, an explainable uncertainty estimation method that merges uncertainty quantification with feature‑level explanations for medical AI predictions. egRUE incorporates prediction explanations into its uncertainty calculation and decomposes uncertainty into contributions from individual features. Experiments and a user study with medical experts show that egRUE improves reliability, interpretability, and calibrated trust compared to existing methods.
