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 7
Practical Considerations for Bayesian Deep Learning

Over the last two chapters, Chapter 5, Principled Approaches for Bayesian Deep Learning and Chapter 6, Using the Standard Toolbox for Bayesian Deep Learning, we’ve been introduced to a range of methods that facilitate Bayesian inference with neural networks. Chapter 5, Principled Approaches for Bayesian Deep Learning introduced specially crafted Bayesian neural network approximations, while Chapter 6, Using the Standard Toolbox for Bayesian Deep Learning showed how we can use the standard toolbox of machine learning to add uncertainty estimates to our models. These families of methods come with their own advantages and disadvantages. In this chapter, we will explore some of these differences in practical scenarios in order to help you understand how to select the best method for the task at hand.

We will also look at different sources of uncertainty, which can improve your understanding of the...
