The ideas of aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty are widely used to reason about the probabilistic predictions of machine-learning models. We identify incoherence in existing discussions of these ideas and suggest this stems from the…

The main purpose of the present article is to give some new Hilbert's sum type inequalities, which in special cases yield the classical Hilbert's inequalities. Our results provide some new estimates to these types of inequalities.
