Bayesian Model Averaging
An ensemble learning method that computes a weighted average of predictions from multiple independently trained models to reduce the stochastic error of individual models and improve the reliability of prediction quality and uncertainty estimation.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Unlike Bayesian model averaging, a credal set preserves the disagreement between distributions, enabling the decision-maker to distinguish consensus regions from disputed regions.
The study proposes and validates Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) as a remediation approach to reduce uncertainty at inference time.
Multiple types of Bayesian Model Averaging methods can consistently reduce uncertainty at inference time and improve prediction quality.
The improvement from Bayesian Model Averaging also holds for the largest-scale TabICLv2 model.
For high-stakes or rare scenario predictions, it is recommended to reduce uncertainty through Bayesian averaging of multiple independent models rather than blindly trusting the output of a single pretrained model.
