Stats
"Density-Regression has competitive uncertainty estimation performance under distribution shifts with modern deep regressors while using a lower model size and a faster inference speed."
"Density-Regression achieves distance awareness and improves distribution calibration by confident & sharp predictions on IID training data and decreased certainty and sharpness when the OOD data is far from the training set."
