• Abstract: This work introduces a novel probabilistic deep learning technique called deep Gaussian mixture ensembles (DGMEs), which enables accurate quantification of both epistemic and aleatoric uncertainty. By assuming the data generating process follows that of a Gaussian mixture, DGMEs are capable of approximating complex probability distributions, such as heavy-tailed or multimodal distributions. Our contributions include the derivation of an expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm used for learning the model parameters, which results in an upper-bound on the log-likelihood of training data over that of standard deep ensembles. Additionally, the proposed EM training procedure allows for learning of mixture weights, which is not commonly done in ensembles. Our experimental results demonstrate that DGMEs outperform state-of-the-art uncertainty quantifying deep learning models in handling complex predictive densities.

  A novel generative model framework called the structured generative model (SGM) is proposed that makes straightforward optimization possible. The implementation employs a single neural network driven by an orthonormal input to a single white noise source adapted to learn an infinite Gaussian mixture model. Preliminary results show that SGM significantly improves MINE estimation in terms of data efficiency and variance, conventional and variational Gaussian mixture models, as well as for training adversarial networks.
