Estimating Predictive Uncertainty for unlabeled data












1












$begingroup$


I am trying to estimate the predictive uncertainty for a deep neural network. While I do have a labeled training set, I´m trying to measure uncertainty for some unlabeled production data.



This paper proposes the use of Deep Ensembles and Adversarial Training to compute a measurement of uncertainty. However, it uses Brier Score as a metric which requires me to know the real label of my production data.
Is there a similar way or metric which does not require labeled data?



Another approach was described by Yarin Gal utilizing Monte Carlo Dropout. However I can´t get any useful results using that technique on my model.



I want to use my model in an online learning task. As the given data may very over time, I need to detect examples where my model is highly uncertain, so I can manually classify those examples.

          So by default the dropout is only used in training time. Then in test time the dropout probability is set to 0. But there is a easy way to enable it so that it stays 'on' even during the test time.
          import keras



          inputs = keras.Input(shape=(10,))
          x = keras.layers.Dense(3)(inputs)
          outputs = keras.layers.Dropout(0.5)(x, training=True)

          model = keras.Model(inputs, outputs)


          By setting training=True it remains active in during test time. This can be called Monte Carlo dropout or more popularly dropout at inference time. I hope it helps.
