Towards Understanding Why Label Smoothing Degrades Selective Classification and How to Fix It

ICLR 2025poster

Label smoothing (LS) is a popular regularisation method for training neural networks as it is effective in improving test accuracy and is simple to implement. ''Hard'' one-hot labels are ''smoothed'' by uniformly distributing probability mass to other classes, reducing overfitting. Prior work has sh…

A Symmetry-Aware Exploration of Bayesian Neural Network Posteriors

ICLR 2024poster

The distribution of modern deep neural networks (DNNs) weights -- crucial for uncertainty quantification and robustness -- is an eminently complex object due to its extremely high dimensionality. This paper presents one of the first large-scale explorations of the posterior distribution of deep Baye…

Make Me a BNN: A Simple Strategy for Estimating Bayesian Uncertainty from Pre-trained Models

CVPR 2024poster

Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are powerful tools for various computer vision tasks yet they often struggle with reliable uncertainty quantification -a critical requirement for real-world applications. Bayesian Neural Networks (BNN) are equipped for uncertainty estimation but cannot scale to large DNNs…

Packed Ensembles for efficient uncertainty estimation

ICLR 2023top-25%

Deep Ensembles (DE) are a prominent approach for achieving excellent performance on key metrics such as accuracy, calibration, uncertainty estimation, and out-of-distribution detection. However, hardware limitations of real-world systems constrain to smaller ensembles and lower-capacity networks, si…
