arXiv:2604.22360v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neural activation coverage (NAC) is a recently-proposed technique for out-of-distribution detection and generalization. We build upon this promising foundation and extend the method to work as an uncertainty estimation technique for already-trained artificial neural networks in the domain of regression. Our experiments confirm NAC uncertainty scores to be more meaningful than other techniques, e.g. Monte-Carlo Dropout.
