Making a good decision is not enough: it is also important to assess how certain that decision is. A research group led by Gergő Orbán at the HUN-REN Wigner Research Centre for Physics, working with Argentinian partners, has developed a method that improves how deep-learning systems represent uncertainty. The findings could make AI-based image processing more reliable, which may be particularly important in areas such as medical imaging, while also helping researchers gain a more precise understanding of human vision.
