We show in the concrete setting of a semantic segmentation task (iPS cell colony segmentation) that the proposed system is able to increase significantly the reliability of the model.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2108.11693v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2108.11693v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"improving-the-reliability-of-semantic","repo_url":"https://github.com/sora763/uncertainty","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":0,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"segmentation","task_name":"Segmentation"},{"task_slug":"semantic-segmentation","task_name":"Semantic Segmentation"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
