Topics: Uncertainty Modeling in Supervised Learning
Abstract:
This talk gives a brief introduction to three uncertainties, i.e., data uncertainty, model uncertainty, and prediction uncertainty, and their relationships in supervised learning. After reviewing the learning bias and no-free lunch theorem, the talk focuses on the improvement of learning performance through uncertainty modeling and loss function design. Some more recent results of research regarding this topic are summarized finally.
