Original Abstract Submitted
a method for training a measurement network which ascertains the uncertainty of an already trained task network. in the method: each training record of measurement data from a training data set is fed to a plurality of modifications of a deterministic task network, or fed multiple times to a probabilistic task network, and thus mapped onto a plurality of outputs; each training record is fed to the measurement network and mapped onto a prediction of the distribution of the plurality of outputs, wherein the processing chain of the measurement network includes a part of the processing chain of the task network; a predefined cost function evaluates the extent to which the prediction of the distribution is consistent with the outputs; and network parameters which characterize the behavior of that part of the measurement network that does not belong to the processing chain of the task network are optimized.
