A new study introduces Credal and Interval Deep Evidential Classifications (CDEC and IDEC) as innovative methods to tackle Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) in AI classification tasks. These approaches utilize credal sets and interval evidential predictive distributions to manage both epistemic and aleatoric uncertainties, allowing for more reliable decision-making and risk assessment.
