Researchers have developed a new method called Self-Supervised Laplace Approximation (SSLA) to directly approximate the posterior predictive distribution in Bayesian models. This approach draws inspiration from self-training techniques and quantifies predictive uncertainty by refitting the model on its own predictions. The SSLA method offers a deterministic, sampling-free approximation that outperforms classical Laplace approximations in predictive calibration for regression tasks, including Bayesian neural networks, while maintaining computational efficiency.
