Aleatoric and Epistemic Uncertainty in Machine Learning: An Introduction to Concepts and Methods
Eyke Hüllermeier,Willem Waegeman +1 more
TL;DR: This paper provides an introduction to the topic of uncertainty in machine learning as well as an overview of attempts so far at handling uncertainty in general and formalizing this distinction in particular.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty in machine learning : an introduction to concepts and methods
Eyke Hüllermeier,Willem Waegeman +1 more
TL;DR: The notion of uncertainty is of major importance in machine learning and constitutes a key element of machine learning methodology as mentioned in this paper, and this includes the importance of distinguishing between aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty.
Journal ArticleDOI
On label dependence and loss minimization in multi-label classification
TL;DR: It is claimed that two types of label dependence should be distinguished, namely conditional and marginal dependence, and three scenarios in which the exploitation of one of these types of dependence may boost the predictive performance of a classifier are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Absolute quantification of microbial taxon abundances.
Ruben Props,Frederiek-Maarten Kerckhof,Peter Rubbens,Jo De Vrieze,Emma Hernandez Sanabria,Willem Waegeman,Pieter Monsieurs,Frederik Hammes,Nico Boon +8 more
TL;DR: This work combined the sequencing approach (16S rRNA gene) with robust single-cell enumeration technologies (flow cytometry) and detailed longitudinal analysis of the absolute abundances resulted in distinct abundance profiles that were less ambiguous and expressed in units that can be directly compared across studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacterial species identification from MALDI-TOF mass spectra through data analysis and machine learning.
Katrien De Bruyne,Bram Slabbinck,Willem Waegeman,Paul Vauterin,Bernard De Baets,Peter Vandamme +5 more
TL;DR: A standard protocol was developed to generate MALDI-TOF mass spectra and the spectra were successfully used for species identification within the genera Leuconostoc, Fructobacillus, and Lactococcus.
