Proper estimation of predictive uncertainty is fundamental in applications that involve critical decisions. Uncertainty can be used to assess the reliability of model predictions, trigger human intervention, or decide whether a model can be safely deployed in the wild. We introduce Fortuna, an open-source library for uncertainty quantification. Fortuna provides calibration methods, such as conformal […]
