arXiv:2606.15767v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Understanding when and why deep neural networks are uncertain is crucial for deploying reliable machine learning systems in safety-critical domains. While existing uncertainty quantification methods provide scalar measures of model confidence, they offer limited insight into which spatial regions of an input contribute to different types of uncertainty. We propose a novel visualization framework, Uncertainty Activation Map (UAM), that combines Evidential Deep Learning (EDL) with Full-Gradient Class Activation Mapping (FullGrad) to generate inte
The increasing deployment of deep learning in safety-critical applications necessitates improved interpretability and trustworthiness, making uncertainty visualization a crucial and timely research area.
This development allows for better understanding of AI model limitations, fostering greater reliability and facilitating deployment in high-stakes environments like autonomous vehicles or medical diagnostics.
The ability to spatially visualize uncertainty within AI models provides fine-grained insights beyond scalar metrics, offering new tools for debugging, validation, and explainability.
