• Abstract: Stereo matching plays a crucial role in various applications, where understanding uncertainty can enhance both safety and reliability. Despite this, the estimation and analysis of uncertainty in stereo matching have been largely overlooked. Previous works struggle to separate it into data (aleatoric) and model (epistemic) components and often provide limited interpretations of uncertainty. This interpretability is essential, as it allows for a clearer understanding of the underlying sources of error, enhancing both prediction confidence and decision-making processes. In this paper, we propose a new uncertainty-aware stereo matching framework. We adopt Bayes risk as the measurement of uncertainty and use it to separately estimate data and model uncertainty. We systematically analyze data uncertainty based on the probabilistic distribution of disparity and efficiently estimate model uncertainty without repeated model training. Experiments are conducted on four stereo benchmarks, and the results demonstrate that our method can estimate uncertainty accurately and efficiently, without sacrificing the disparity prediction accuracy.

  In large language models (LLMs), identifying sources of uncertainty is an important step toward improving reliability, trustworthiness, and interpretability. In this paper, we introduce an uncertainty decomposition framework for LLMs, called input clarification ensembling. Our approach generates a set of clarifications for the input, feeds them into an LLM, and ensembles the corresponding predictions.

  The intrinsic ill-posedness and ordinal-sensitive nature of monocular depth estimation (MDE) models pose major challenges to the estimation of uncertainty degree. We propose to model the uncertainty of MDE models from the perspective of the inherent probability distributions. By simply introducing additional training regularization terms, our model, with surprisingly simple formations and without requiring extra modules or multiple inferences, can provide uncertainty estimations with state-of-the-art reliability.

We demonstrate our approach with mean-field variational inference and compare with state-of-the-art methods.
