Discussion

Today we mainly use neural nets to solve many of our tasks. Although they give great results, they do have their shortcomings, such as the limited ability to quantify uncertainty for example. In this open session we can focus on Gaussian Processes/GPs as an alternative to neural nets in certain situations, and discuss some of the recent trends and work that has been carried out on this topic....

Discussion

Uncertainty quantification (UQ) methods enable us to equip machine learning model predictions with "error bars". These are useful in many areas from active learning to out-of-distribution detection and in general to tackle trustworthiness issues (think driving, health, legal applications).

We'll also touch on recent methods to make generative models (hello ChatGPT) express confidence in...
