TLDR
In this paper, a Bayesian deep learning framework combining input-dependent aleatoric uncertainty together with epistemic uncertainty was proposed for semantic segmentation and depth regression tasks, which can be interpreted as learned attenuation.
Abstract
There are two major types of uncertainty one can model. Aleatoric uncertainty captures noise inherent in the observations. On the other hand, epistemic uncertainty accounts for uncertainty in the model - uncertainty which can be explained away given enough data. Traditionally it has been difficult to model epistemic uncertainty in computer vision, but with new Bayesian deep learning tools this is now possible. We study the benefits of modeling epistemic vs. aleatoric uncertainty in Bayesian deep learning models for vision tasks. For this we present a Bayesian deep learning framework combining input-dependent aleatoric uncertainty together with epistemic uncertainty. We study models under the framework with per-pixel semantic segmentation and depth regression tasks. Further, our explicit uncertainty formulation leads to new loss functions for these tasks, which can be interpreted as learned attenuation. This makes the loss more robust to noisy data, also giving new state-of-the-art results on segmentation and depth regression benchmarks.

Multi-task Learning Using Uncertainty to Weigh Losses for Scene Geometry and Semantics

TL;DR: In this article, the authors make the observation that the performance of multi-task learning is strongly dependent on the relative weighting between each task's loss, and propose a principled approach to weight multiple loss functions by considering the homoscedastic uncertainty of each task.

Deep Ordinal Regression Network for Monocular Depth Estimation

TL;DR: Deep Ordinal Regression Network (DORN) as discussed by the authors discretizes depth and recast depth network learning as an ordinal regression problem by training the network using an ordinary regression loss, which achieves much higher accuracy and faster convergence in synch.

Can You Trust Your Model's Uncertainty? Evaluating Predictive Uncertainty Under Dataset Shift

TL;DR: A large-scale benchmark of existing state-of-the-art methods on classification problems and the effect of dataset shift on accuracy and calibration is presented, finding that traditional post-hoc calibration does indeed fall short, as do several other previous methods.

Indoor segmentation and support inference from RGBD images

TL;DR: The goal is to parse typical, often messy, indoor scenes into floor, walls, supporting surfaces, and object regions, and to recover support relationships, to better understand how 3D cues can best inform a structured 3D interpretation.
