The paper "What Uncertainties Do We Need in Bayesian Deep Learning for Computer Vision?" by Alex Kendall explores the importance of modeling both aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties in Bayesian deep learning for computer vision tasks. Aleatoric uncertainty captures inherent noise in observations, while epistemic uncertainty reflects uncertainty in the model parameters, which can be explained with more data. Traditional methods have struggled to model epistemic uncertainty, but new Bayesian deep learning tools now enable this. The study focuses on the benefits of modeling these uncertainties in per-pixel semantic segmentation and depth regression tasks. The authors propose a unified Bayesian deep learning framework that combines input-dependent aleatoric uncertainty with epistemic uncertainty, leading to new loss functions that can be interpreted as learned attenuation. This approach improves model performance by 1-3% over non-Bayesian baselines, making the loss more robust to noisy data. The paper also analyzes the trade-offs between modeling aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties, showing that aleatoric uncertainty is more effective in large data regimes, while epistemic uncertainty is crucial for safety-critical applications and small datasets. The results demonstrate state-of-the-art performance on benchmarks for depth regression and semantic segmentation.The paper "What Uncertainties Do We Need in Bayesian Deep Learning for Computer Vision?" by Alex Kendall explores the importance of modeling both aleatoric and epistemic uncertainties in Bayesian deep learning for computer vision tasks.
