Abstract: 

Uncertainty is a critical consideration in any application of deep learning, particularly when safety is on the line. Conventional deep learning approaches lead to models that are overconfident, fragile under domain shift, helpless against adversarial attacks, and unable to convey their implicit understanding of uncertainty in data. This talk will survey methods for quantifying and handling different sources of uncertainty, with a focus on practical, scalable techniques for a variety of common use cases. From principled Bayesian approaches to post-hoc calibration, we’ll cover the theory, tools, techniques, and tips you need to better handle uncertainty in your own deep learning applications.
