Uncertainty-aware deep learning in healthcare: A scoping review. by Tyler J Loftus, Benjamin Shickel, Matthew M Ruppert, Jeremy A Balch, Tezcan Ozrazgat-Baslanti, Patrick J Tighe, Philip A Efron, William R Hogan, Parisa Rashidi, Gilbert R Upchurch, Azra Bihorac

“…Entrustment could be earned by conveying model certainty, or the probability that a given model output is accurate, but the use of uncertainty estimation for deep learning entrustment is largely unexplored, and there is no consensus regarding optimal methods for quantifying uncertainty. Our purpose is to critically evaluate methods for quantifying uncertainty in deep learning for healthcare applications and propose a conceptual framework for specifying certainty of deep learning predictions. …”
