Deep learning is used in many applications in the physical sciences. In those sciences we are used to having uncertainty on every measurement or prediction. In the last years, many methods have been put forth for uncertainty quantification: Bayesian Neural Networks, Concrete Dropout, and Deep Ensembles. Uncertainty in deep learning is often divided into aleatoric or irreducible and epistemic or reducible. The problem remains: Which uncertainty quantification method should be chosen? How are those results interpreted?
