Reliable neural networks for regression uncertainty estimation. Tohme, T., Vanslette, K., & Youcef-Toumi, K. Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 229:108811, January, 2023. Paper doi abstract bibtex While deep neural networks are highly performant and successful in a wide range of real-world problems, estimating their predictive uncertainty remains a challenging task. To address this challenge, we propose and implement a loss function for regression uncertainty estimation based on the Bayesian Validation Metric (BVM) framework while using ensemble learning. The proposed loss reproduces maximum likelihood estimation in the limiting case. A series of experiments on in-distribution data show that the proposed method is competitive with existing state-of-the-art methods. Experiments on out-of-distribution data show that the proposed method is robust to statistical change and exhibits superior predictive capability.
