Robustness Quantification and Uncertainty Quantification: Comparing Two Methods for Assessing the Reliability of Classifier Predictions

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2603.22988v1 Announce Type: new We consider two approaches for assessing the reliability of the individual predictions of a classifier: Robustness Quantification (RQ) and Uncertainty Quantification (UQ). We explain the conceptual differences between the two approaches, compare both approaches on a number of benchmark datasets and show that RQ is capable of outperforming UQ, both in a standard setting and in the presence of distribution shift.
