BaCOUn: Bayesian Classifers with Out-of-Distribution Uncertainty

Machine Learning 2020-07-14 v1 Machine Learning

Abstract

Traditional training of deep classifiers yields overconfident models that are not reliable under dataset shift. We propose a Bayesian framework to obtain reliable uncertainty estimates for deep classifiers. Our approach consists of a plug-in "generator" used to augment the data with an additional class of points that lie on the boundary of the training data, followed by Bayesian inference on top of features that are trained to distinguish these "out-of-distribution" points.
