Intrinsic uncertainties and where to find them
share
We introduce a framework for uncertainty estimation that both describes and extends many existing methods. We consider typical hyperparameters involved in classical training as random variables and marginalise them out to capture various sources of uncertainty in the parameter space. We investigate which forms and combinations of marginalisation are most useful from a practical point of view on standard benchmarking data sets. Moreover, we discuss how some marginalisations may produce reliable estimates of uncertainty without the need for extensive hyperparameter tuning and/or large-scale ensembling.
