Overview of this book

Deep learning has an increasingly significant impact on our lives, from suggesting content to playing a key role in mission- and safety-critical applications. As the influence of these algorithms grows, so does the concern for the safety and robustness of the systems which rely on them. Simply put, typical deep learning methods do not know when they don’t know. The field of Bayesian Deep Learning contains a range of methods for approximate Bayesian inference with deep networks. These methods help to improve the robustness of deep learning systems as they tell us how confident they are in their predictions, allowing us to take more in how we incorporate model predictions within our applications. Through this book, you will be introduced to the rapidly growing field of uncertainty-aware deep learning, developing an understanding of the importance of uncertainty estimation in robust machine learning systems. You will learn about a variety of popular Bayesian Deep Learning methods, and how to implement these through practical Python examples covering a range of application scenarios. By the end of the book, you will have a good understanding of Bayesian Deep Learning and its advantages, and you will be able to develop Bayesian Deep Learning models for safer, more robust deep learning systems.

Chapter 4
Introducing Bayesian Deep Learning

In Chapter 2, Fundamentals of Bayesian Inference, Fundamentals of Bayesian Inference, we saw how traditional methods for Bayesian inference can be used to produce model uncertainty estimates, and we introduced the properties of well-calibrated and well-principled methods for uncertainty estimation. While these traditional methods are powerful in many applications, Chapter 2, Fundamentals of Bayesian Inference also highlighted some of their limitations with respect to scaling. In Chapter 3, Fundamentals of Deep Learning, we saw the impressive things DNNs are capable of given large amounts of data; but we also learned that they aren’t perfect. In particular, they often lack robustness for out-of-distribution data – a major concern when we consider the deployment of these methods in real-world applications.
