Deep Ensemble Convolutional Neural Networks has become a methodology of choice for analyzing medical images with a diagnostic performance comparable to a physician, including the diagnosis of Diabetic Retinopathy. However, commonly used techniques are deterministic and are therefore unable to provide any estimate of predictive uncertainty. Quantifying model uncertainty is crucial for reducing the risk of misdiagnosis. A reliable architecture should be well-calibrated to avoid over-confident predictions. To address this, we propose a UATTA-ENS: Uncertainty-Aware Test-Time Augmented Ensemble Technique for 5 Class PIRC Diabetic Retinopathy Classification to produce reliable and well-calibrated predictions.

Domain generalization is a sub-field of transfer learning that aims at bridging the gap between two different domains in the absence of any knowledge about the target domain. Our approach tackles the problem of a model's weak generalization when it is trained on a single source domain. From this perspective, we build an ensemble model on top of base deep learning models trained on a single source to enhance the generalization of their collective prediction. The results achieved thus far have demonstrated promising improvements of the ensemble over any of its base learners.

Machine Learning (ML) has become a ubiquitous tool for predicting and classifying data and has found application in several problem domains, including Software Development (SD). This paper reviews the literature between 2000 and 2019 on the use the learning models that have been employed for programming effort estimation, predicting risks and identifying and detecting defects. This work is meant to serve as a starting point for practitioners willing to add ML to their software development toolbox. It categorises recent literature and identifies trends and limitations. The survey shows as some authors have agreed that industrial applications of ML for SD have not been as popular as the reported results would suggest. The conducted investigation shows that, despite having promising findings for a variety of SD tasks, most of the studies yield vague results, in part due to the lack of comprehensive datasets in this problem domain. The paper ends with concluding remarks and suggestions for future research.
