Midpoint Regularization: from High Uncertainty Training to Conservative Classification
Label Smoothing (LS) improves model generalization through penalizing models from generating overconfident output distributions. For each training sample the LS strategy smooths the one-hot encoded training signal by distributing its distribution mass over the non-ground truth classes. We extend this technique by considering example pairs, coined PLS. PLS first creates midpoint samples by averaging random sample pairs and then learns a smoothing distribution during training for each of these midpoint samples, resulting in midpoints with high uncertainty labels for training. We empirically show that PLS significantly outperforms LS, achieving up to 30% of relative classification error reduction. We also visualize that PLS produces very low winning softmax scores for both in and out of distribution samples.

Bayesian Conservative Policy Optimization (BCPO): A Novel Uncertainty-Calibrated Offline Reinforcement Learning with Credible Lower Bounds
Offline reinforcement learning (RL) aims to learn decision policies from a fixed batch of logged transitions, without additional environment interaction. Despite remarkable empirical progress, offline RL remains fragile …

In robust Markov decision processes (RMDPs), it is assumed that the reward and the transition dynamics lie in a given uncertainty set. By targeting maximal return under the most adversarial model from that set, RMDPs add…
Analyzing Uncertainty of LLM-as-a-Judge: Interval Evaluations with Conformal Prediction
LLM-as-a-judge has become a promising paradigm for using large language models (LLMs) to evaluate natural language generation (NLG), but the uncertainty of its evaluation remains underexplored. This lack of reliability m…
