Are you sure about that?! Uncertainty Quantification in AI

With the advent of Deep Learning (DL), the field of AI made a giant leap forward and it is nowadays applied in many industrial use-cases. Especially critical systems like autonomous driving, require that DL methods not only produce a prediction but also state the certainty about the prediction in order …

Performance evaluation of GANs in a semi-supervised OCR use case

Even in the age of big data labelled data is a scarce resource in many machine learning use cases. We evaluate generative adversarial networks (GANs) at the task of extracting information from vehicle registrations under a varying amount of labelled data and compare the performance with supervised learning techniques. Using unlabelled data shows a significant improvement.

Causal Inference and Propensity Score Methods

In the field of machine learning and particularly in supervised learning, correlation is crucial to predict the target variable with the help of the feature variables. Rarely do we think about causation and the actual effect of a single feature variable or covariate on the target or response. Some even …
