Talk on "More on Uncertainty in Machine Learning"
"More on Uncertainty in Machine Learning" is the title of Prof. Dr. Göran Kauermann talk, which is being organised by the "Zentrum of Statistik" at Bielefeld University. It will take place on Tuesday, 10 June 2025 from 12:00 Uhr - 13:00 Uhr in W9-109.
The quantification of uncertainty is continuously gaining interest in the machine learning community. Tackling this question can be done with statistical tools, getting back to the foundation of statistics, namely how to cope with uncertainty and ignorance. The talk extends our previous work on this topic and presents some new results and insights. We discuss different sources of uncertainty and advocate an increased use of statistics and statistical methods in the machine learning world. To showcase our view we look at ambiguity in computer linguistics, we sketch the use of statistics in network weight reconstruction and focus on labelling ambiguity. While these examples are heterogeneous, the data centric view and hence its statistical foundation serves as common thread.
