Predictive maintenance (PdM) refers to the practice of using data-driven techniques to predict when equipment will fail, allowing for timely and efficient maintenance. This proactive approach aims to reduce downtime, optimize equipment lifespan, and minimize maintenance costs. Unlike traditional maintenance strategies, such as reactive (fixing after failure) or preventive (servicing at regular intervals), PdM leverages real-time data, statistical analysis, and predictive models to forecast equipment degradation and identify the optimal time for intervention.

Monte Carlo dropout, introduced by Yarin Gal and his colleagues, builds on this technique by keeping dropout enabled during inference. This seemingly simple modification allows the model to behave like a Bayesian approximation, enabling it to produce a distribution of outputs for a given input. By running the neural network multiple times on the same input (with different dropout masks applied each time), we can approximate the posterior predictive distribution of the model’s outputs.

Mathematically, if $f(y|x)$ denotes the output of the neural network for class $y$ on input $x$, then the Monte Carlo dropout approach involves drawing multiple samples from $f(y|x)$ by running the model several times with dropout enabled. These samples can be used to compute the mean and variance of the model's predictions, which serve as estimates of the predictive mean $\mathbb{E}[f(y|x)]$ and predictive variance $\text{Var}[f(y|x)]$.

This technique provides a straightforward way to quantify the uncertainty of a model's predictions. In practice, Monte Carlo dropout is used to estimate uncertainty in both classification and regression tasks, although our focus here will be on multi-class classification.

This score measures the model's confidence in its most likely prediction. A high value for $\max_y \mathbb{E}[f(y|x)]$ indicates high confidence in the predicted class, while a lower value suggests greater uncertainty.

This method is simple and easy to implement, but it has some limitations. For example, it only takes into account the predicted class's probability and ignores the spread of probabilities across other classes. In cases where the model assigns similar probabilities to multiple classes, this method might underestimate uncertainty.
