Bayesian Deep Learning has emerged as a powerful framework for modelling
uncertainty in deep neural networks. In traditional deep learning, models are often treated as
deterministic, providing point estimates for predictions. However, in many real-world
applications, it is crucial to quantify uncertainty, especially when dealing with limited data,
noisy measurements, or safety-critical systems. This paper provides an overview of Bayesian
Deep Learning and its applications for uncertainty estimation. We explore the foundational
concepts, methodologies, and practical techniques for incorporating Bayesian principles into
deep neural networks. Key topics covered include probabilistic modelling, Bayesian neural
networks, variational inference, and Monte Carlo dropout. We discuss how Bayesian Deep
Learning can be applied to various domains, including computer vision, natural language
processing, reinforcement learning, and autonomous systems. The advantages and challenges
of uncertainty estimation in these applications are highlighted. Furthermore, we review recent
developments and open research directions in Bayesian Deep Learning, such as scalable
Bayesian models, uncertainty-aware active learning, and model compression. These
advancements are driving the integration of Bayesian principles into the mainstream of
machine learning, enabling more robust and reliable decision-making in AI systems. Overall,
this paper serves as a comprehensive introduction to Bayesian Deep Learning, emphasizing
its significance in addressing uncertainty in modern machine learning, and it provides a
roadmap for researchers and practitioners interested in harnessing the power of uncertaintyaware AI systems.
