Not Just How Much, But Where: Decomposing Epistemic Uncertainty into Per-Class Contributions

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2602. 21160v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In safety-critical classification, the cost of failure is often asymmetric, yet Bayesian deep learning summarises epistemic uncertainty with a single scalar, mutual information (MI), that cannot distinguish whether a model's ignorance involves a benign or safety-critical class.

Monte Carlo Dropout Uncertainty and Entropy-Thresholded Selective Prediction for Architecture-Agnostic Brain Tumor MRI Triage

arXiv:2607. 16317v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep networks now subtype brain tumors on MRI about as well as specialist readers, yet accuracy is not what keeps them out of the clinic.

ReliableNet: A Chance-Constrained Approach to Trustworthy Classification in Deep Learning

arXiv:2608. 09768v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A prediction that is both confident and wrong is a critical reliability failure because it can bypass abstention and human review precisely when the model is mistaken.

Heckman-Corrected Epistemic Uncertainty: Selection on Unobservables Defeats Importance Weighting

arXiv:2607. 05806v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Training data for machine learning is routinely collected by a selection process the model never sees: loans are observed only when granted, outcomes only when a test was ordered.
