Join us for this seminar by Neil Thacker (Manchester) as part of the Mathematics in the Life Sciences Series.
Abstract:
The problem of assessment of uncertainty in non-linear systems is re-visited and used to motivate an approach for estimation of parameter uncertainty based upon a Bayesian/Frequentist synthesis. The method is applied to Artificial Neural Networks trained on a real-world data set for clinical decision support (dementing diseases). This example identifies fundamental issues regarding the general assessment of uncertainty for popular multi-variate methods such as Deep Learning.
