Bayesian Deep Learning and a Probabilistic Perspective of Model Construction (ICML Tutorial)

Bayesian deep learning is a field at the intersection between deep learning and Bayesian probability theory. It offers principled uncertainty estimates from deep learning architectures. These deep architectures can model complex tasks by leveraging the hierarchical representation power of deep learning, while also being able to infer complex multi-modal posterior distributions. Bayesian deep learning models typically form uncertainty estimates by either placing distributions over model weights, or by learning a direct mapping to probabilistic outputs.
