arXiv:2606.25188v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Efficient uncertainty quantification (UQ) is essential for trustworthy large-scale learning. Existing UQ methods for regression tasks mainly operate under the assumption that the conditional label marginal satisfies single-peak parametric models, e.g., Gaussians, where the negative log-likelihood function simplifies to the mean square error. However, such single-peak assumptions fail in regression tasks featuring multi-modal distributions. On the other hand, semi-parametric methods which achieve strong regression performance for multi-modal distr
The increasing complexity and scale of AI models, especially in real-world applications where multi-modal data is prevalent, necessitate more robust uncertainty quantification methods.
Accurate uncertainty quantification is critical for deploying trustworthy and reliable AI systems, particularly in sensitive applications like autonomous driving, medical diagnostics, or financial modeling.
This research introduces a method for more efficient and accurate uncertainty quantification in AI systems dealing with complex, multi-modal data distributions, moving beyond simpler single-peak assumptions.
