Your deep learning model might be confidently wrong โ and in medicine or epidemiology, thatโs dangerous.
In this episode, Alex Andorra chats with Mรฉlodie Monod, Franรงois-Xavier & Yingzhen Li about making neural nets more reliable, Bayesian LLMs & more...
Models need more than pattern-matching.
They need causal understanding.
In this episode, Robert Ness joins Alex Andorra to explore:
โก Why models need real-world biases
๐ง How causal rep learning is reshaping AI

๐ Most Bayesian models arenโt properly checked.
Even when they converge, they might be wrong in ways you wonโt seeโunless you look differently.
In this conversation, Teemu Sรคilynoja joins Alex Andorra to explore SBC, prior predictive checks, posterior SBC and more!
This is the kind of model checking that actually changes your modeling practice.

Your model says 97% confidence
But should you trust it?
Uncertainty in ML is still a hard problem
Weโre hosting a meetup at Imperial College London on June 24 to dig into it โ with our host Alex Andorra and other researchers working on better ways forward
