Uncertainty quantification, once a singular task, has evolved into a spectrum of tasks, including abstained prediction, out-of-distribution detection, and aleatoric uncertainty quantification. The latest goal is disentanglement: the construction of multiple estimators that are each tailored to one and only one source of uncertainty. This paper presents the first benchmark of uncertainty disentanglement. We reimplement and evaluate a comprehensive range of uncertainty estimators, from Bayesian over evidential to deterministic ones, across a diverse range of uncertainty tasks on ImageNet. We find that, despite recent theoretical endeavors, no existing approach provides pairs of disentangled uncertainty estimators in practice. We further find that specialized uncertainty tasks are harder than predictive uncertainty tasks, where we observe saturating performance. Our results provide both practical advice for which uncertainty estimators to use for which specific task, and reveal opportunities for future research toward task-centric and disentangled uncertainties. All our reimplementations and Weights & Biases logs are available at https://github.com/bmucsanyi/untangle.

    cs.LG 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    Softmax-temperature regularisation of sigmoid-bounded normalisation scales controls member diversity in implicit ensembles, matching deep ensembles cheaply across CNNs and transformers.

  2. Learning Credal Ensembles via Distributionally Robust Optimization

    cs.LG 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    An ensemble trained with distributionally robust optimization at several reweighting intensities yields credal predictions whose uncertainty better separates in-distribution from out-of-distribution samples.
