What is the difference between epistemic and aleatoric uncertainties?
Aleatoric (aka statistical) uncertainty refers to the notion of randomness, that is, the variability in the outcome of an experiment which is due to inherently random effects.
Epistemic (aka systematic) uncertainty refers to uncertainty caused by a lack of knowledge, i.e., to the epistemic state of the agent
As opposed to aleatoric uncertainty, epistemic uncertainty can in principle be reduced on the basis of additional information.
