Communicating the limitations of ML/AI systems is crucial for building trust and support from non-specialists.
Clearly defined use cases and communication of uncertainty levels in ML/AI applications are key for better handling of results and avoiding backlash.
Tools like simple scales, confidence intervals, and explaining drivers of uncertainty help in effectively communicating uncertainty to users.
Understanding uncertainty drivers like epistemic and aleatoric uncertainties is important for conveying uncertainty levels in models.
Various techniques like model performance statistics, Bayesian Neural Networks, and Conformal Prediction can be used to estimate uncertainty in ML models.
Open source libraries such as TensorFlow Probability and Pyro offer tools for applying uncertainty estimation techniques in ML/AI.
Alternative methods like Monte Carlo Dropout and Deep Ensemble can be used for approximating uncertainty in deep learning models.
Generative AI presents new challenges for uncertainty communication due to its complexity and proprietary nature, requiring techniques like expressing certainty levels and leveraging multiple models.
Techniques such as Perplexity, multi-token entropy, and adapting classic neural network uncertainty methods can help assess uncertainty in generative AI models.
Using open source models to estimate uncertainty of proprietary models can bridge the gap and enable the application of advanced uncertainty estimation techniques.
