DICE: Diversity in Deep Ensembles via Conditional Redundancy Adversarial Estimation
January 2021 • Alexandre Ramé, Kévin Bailly
Deep ensembles perform better than a single network thanks to the diversity among their members. Recent approaches regularize predictions to increase diversity; however, they also drastically decrease individual members' performances. In this paper, we argue that learning strategies for deep ensembles need to tackle the trade-off between ensemble diversity and individual accuracies. Motivated by arguments from information theory and leveraging recent advances in neural estimation of conditional mutual information,…
