Combining Uncertain Estimates
In a real expert system, one may have unreliable, unconfident, conflicting estimates of the value for a particular parameter. It is important for decision making that the information present in this aggregate somehow find its way into use. We cast the problem of representing and combining uncertain estimates as selection of two kinds of functions, one to determine an estimate, the other its uncertainty. The paper includes a long list of properties that such functions should satisfy, and it presents one method that satisfies them.

Extracting Uncertainty Estimates from Mixtures of Experts for Semantic Segmentation
Estimating accurate and well-calibrated predictive uncertainty is important for enhancing the reliability of computer vision models, especially in safety-critical applications like traffic scene perception. While ensembl…
Semantic SegmentationCombining Predictions under Uncertainty: The Case of Random Decision Trees
A common approach to aggregate classification estimates in an ensemble of decision trees is to either use voting or to average the probabilities for each class. The latter takes uncertainty into account, but not the reli…
DiversityUncertainty Estimates for Efficient Neural Network-based Dialogue Policy Optimisation
In statistical dialogue management, the dialogue manager learns a policy that maps a belief state to an action for the system to perform. Efficient exploration is key to successful policy optimisation. Current deep reinf…

This paper explores generalised probabilistic modelling and uncertainty estimation in comparative LLM-as-a-judge frameworks. We show that existing Product-of-Experts methods are specific cases of a broader framework, ena…
View fusion vis-à-vis a Bayesian interpretation of Black-Litterman for portfolio allocation
The Black-Litterman model extends the framework of the Markowitz Modern Portfolio Theory to incorporate investor views. We consider a case where multiple view estimates, including uncertainties, are given for the same un…
