The paper introduces SMART, a lightweight recalibration technique that adjusts logits based on the margin between the top two logits, called the logit gap. It uses a soft-binned Expected Calibration Error objective to balance bias and variance, enabling stable updates even with limited calibration data. Experiments across various datasets and architectures show SMART achieves state‑of‑the‑art calibration with fewer parameters than existing methods.

Conformal Calibration Transfer addresses the challenge of applying conformal prediction when labeled calibration data is only available in a source space, while predictions are needed in a target space linked via unlabeled paired observations. The proposed Transported Conformal Calibration (TCC) method transports source calibration into the target domain and then corrects residual mismatches using only unlabeled target inputs, with two variants: TCC‑KS, which conservatively adjusts calibration based on a label‑free uncertainty surrogate, and weighted‑TCC, which reweights transported calibration for efficiency when weights are stable. Finite‑sample target‑domain coverage guarantees are provided, and experiments on CIFAR‑100‑C, Tiny‑ImageNet‑C, and SEN12MS demonstrate reliable coverage transfer without labeled target data, along with label‑free diagnostics to signal when correction is required.

arXiv:2606. 03600v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Standard conformal prediction (CP) procedures are typically formulated in terms of p-values, but reliance on p-values alone limits flexibility, for example, when combining dependent evidence across models or data splits.
arXiv:2606. 11865v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conformal Bayes combines Bayesian posterior predictives with conformal calibration to produce prediction sets that are both statistically valid and geometrically efficient.
Conformal Bayes combines Bayesian posterior predictives with conformal calibration to produce prediction sets that are both statistically valid and geometrically efficient. We study conformal Bayes under label shift from a unified perspective, identifying two complementary approaches that restore nominal target-domain coverage through importance-weighted conformal calibration but operate through independent mechanisms.
