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.
arXiv:2607. 07745v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: While accuracy, robustness, and calibration are all essential for reliable neural networks, they are often studied separately; developing models that satisfy all three simultaneously remains a central challenge.

arXiv:2606. 28654v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Deep Neural Network (DNN) classifiers suffer from poor calibration when their softmax outputs (predictive confidence) deviate from the empirical likelihoods.
The paper proposes a bilevel Stackelberg formulation that trains standard post‑hoc calibrators end‑to‑end with the neural network backbone, eliminating the need for a separate calibration dataset or dedicated loss. By jointly optimizing accuracy and calibration with cross‑entropy and a single calibrator learning‑rate hyperparameter, the method can use any calibrator type, but shows that the final classification layer alone suffices to produce accurate, well‑calibrated models. This approach outperforms state‑of‑the‑art calibrators while adding minimal complexity and avoiding the overhead of separate calibration components, especially beneficial in multi‑task learning settings.

Reliable confidence estimates are essential in semantic segmentation, especially in safety-critical settings where overconfident errors can mislead downstream decisions. Yet modern segmentation models often remain miscalibrated.

The paper introduces Local Adaptive Probability Estimation (LAPE), a post‑hoc residual calibration framework that refines global calibrator outputs using non‑parametric local evidence from neighboring samples in feature space. LAPE serves as a plug‑and‑play module that leverages feature‑space geometry and reuses calibration data, improving calibration quality for various baselines. The authors also extend the approach to multi‑view inputs with Cascade Feature Augmentation Fusion (CFAF) and demonstrate its effectiveness through extensive experiments.
