Calibrating Uncertainties in Object Localization Task

In many safety-critical applications such as autonomous driving and surgical robots, it is desirable to obtain prediction uncertainties from object detection modules to help support safe decision-making. Specifically, such modules need to estimate the probability of each predicted object in a given region and the confidence interval for its bounding box. While recent Bayesian deep learning methods provide a principled way to estimate this uncertainty, the estimates for the bounding boxes obtained using these methods are uncalibrated. In this paper, we address this problem for the single-object localization task by adapting an existing technique for calibrating regression models. We show, experimentally, that the resulting calibrated model obtains more reliable uncertainty estimates.

Improve Uncertainty Estimation for Unknown Classes in Bayesian Neural Networks with Semi-Supervised /One Set Classification

Although deep neural network (DNN) has achieved many state-of-the-art results, estimating the uncertainty presented in the DNN model and the data is a challenging task. Problems related to uncertainty such as classifying unknown classes (class which does not appear in the training data) data as known class with high confidence, is critically concerned in the safety domain area (e.g, autonomous driving, medical diagnosis). In this paper, we show that applying current Bayesian Neural Network (BNN) techniques alone does not effectively capture the uncertainty. To tackle this problem, we introduce a simple way to improve the BNN by using one class classification (in this paper, we use the term "set classification" instead). We empirically show the result of our method on an experiment which involves three datasets: MNIST, notMNIST and FMNIST.
