27th September 8AM-12PM
This tutorial will enable participants to gain knowledge about topics ranging from the very fundamentals of uncertainty quantification to cutting-edge recent methods in the field. We expect tutorial attendees to develop:
• A solid understanding of the basic concepts around uncertainty quantification in machine learning and of a taxonomical map of the field.
• The ability to discriminate between different sources of uncertainty.
• Fundamentals for understanding and implementing several well-established uncertainty quantification techniques.
• Understanding of the probabilistic uncertainty quantification methods used for the medical image analysis tasks.
• Mathematical basis and techniques for model calibration and its relationship with predictive uncertainty.
• Knowledge of uncertainty quantification through the basics of conformal prediction.
• Label uncertainty and multi-rater modeling techniques and practical utilization in medical imaging.
• Quantifying uncertainty for medical foundational models.

This tutorial does not require any prior skills in uncertainty or model calibration, however some background in deep learning may be needed.
All materials from previous years and this year are available on our GitHub repository.
Several lectures and hands-on sessions were pre-recorded and are available on our YouTube playlist.
References on UQ can be found in the UQ in MIA Cookbook. More materials will be provided closer to the tutorial date.
