Courtroom Analogy: New Perspective on Uncertainty-Aware Classification
Single-pass uncertainty quantification (UQ) methods for classification represent uncertainty by predicting a tractable distribution over the class probability vector. While existing approaches primarily focus on enhancing the expressiveness of this distribution, they often provide limited insight into how predictive uncertainty is structured and aggregated, resulting in weak interpretability. We introduce the courtroom analogy, which conceptualizes uncertainty-aware classification as a structured debate among class-specific advocates. Each advocate forms a probabilistic opinion, and a final verdict is reached by aggregating these opinions using input-dependent plausibility weights. In this framework, each advocate's opinion is modeled as a Dirichlet distribution whose concentration parameter is decomposed into shared evidence and class-specific advocacy. This yields a structured mixture of Dirichlet distributions with semantically interpretable parameters. To instantiate this formulation, we propose Mixture of Dirichlet EXperts (MoDEX), a single-pass neural architecture that predicts the courtroom parameters, enabling efficient and expressive UQ while explicitly modeling uncertainty aggregation. We demonstrate that MoDEX enjoys strong theoretical properties and achieves state-of-the-art UQ performance across diverse benchmarks, yielding interpretable uncertainty estimates with meaningful semantics.
Modex Partners With UiPath to Offer Log Immutability for RPA Robots
LONDON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Modex has partnered with UiPath, the leading enterprise Robotic Process Automation (RPA) software company, to enhance the traceability of operations involving software robots and improve governance by enabling immutability for activity logs. Through this global technological collaboration, Modex Blockchain Database (BCDB) has been integrated with UiPath Orchestrator through a series of connectors to enhance the traceability and the auditability of the data manipulated by software robots through the immutability provided by the Blockchain Database solution. Modex BCDB improves the security of the data collected and manipulated by software robots. Once data passes through the Modex BCDB solution, UiPath Orchestrator beneficiaries can rest assured that their information can never be tampered with. Besides immutability, the integration of Modex BCDB with the UiPath Orchestrator will streamline log access security by introducing permission-based policies and advanced encryption.
