README.md

TorchUncertainty is a package designed to help leverage uncertainty quantification techniques to make deep neural networks more reliable. It aims to be collaborative and to include as many methods as possible — so reach out to add yours!

TorchUncertainty is in active development: expect changes, but reach out and contribute if you are interested in the project! Please raise an issue if you have any bugs or difficulties and join the Discord server.

Our website and documentation are available at torch-uncertainty.github.io. :books:

TorchUncertainty contains the official implementations of multiple papers from major machine-learning and computer-vision conferences and was featured in tutorials at WACV 2024, HAICON 2024 and ECCV 2024.

Torch-Uncertainty was published at NeurIPS D&B 2025. Please consider citing the paper if the framework is helpful for your research.

This package provides a multi-level API, including:

• easy-to-use :zap: Lightning uncertainty-aware training & evaluation routines for 4 tasks: classification, probabilistic and pointwise regression, segmentation, and pixelwise regression (e.g., monocular depth estimation);
• fully automated evaluation of models with proper scores, calibration, selective classification, out-of-distribution detection and distribution-shift metrics — see the Evaluating Models page;
• layers, models, metrics, & losses ready to drop into your networks;
• scikit-learn-style post-processing methods such as temperature scaling and conformal prediction;
• transformations and augmentations, including a set of corruptions used to build "corrupted datasets" hosted on HuggingFace.

Have a look at the Reference page or the API reference for a more exhaustive list of the implemented methods, datasets, metrics, etc.

:gear: Installation

TorchUncertainty requires Python 3.10 or greater. Install the desired PyTorch version in your environment. Then, install the package from PyPI:

pip install torch-uncertainty

The installation procedure for contributors is different: have a look at the contribution page.

:whale: Docker image for contributors

For contributors running experiments on cloud GPU instances, we provide a pre-built Docker image with all the necessary dependencies and a Dockerfile to build your own custom images. This lets you launch an experiment-ready container with minimal setup. See DOCKER.md for further details.

:racehorse: Quickstart

We make a quickstart available at torch-uncertainty.github.io/quickstart.
