Sample Margin-Aware Recalibration of Temperature Scaling

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.

LiST: Lipschitz Scaling Training for Robust and Calibrated Neural Networks

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.

Optimizable Model Averaging for Ensembling Heterogeneous Model Outputs

Optimizable Model Averaging (OMA) is a black‑box method that assigns nonnegative weights to each candidate model’s predictive probabilities, keeping all model parameters frozen. By minimizing regularized predictive entropy, OMA learns a single scalar coefficient per model to average outputs from heterogeneous architectures. The authors show that appropriate regularization reduces expected calibration error and improves the trade‑off between performance and calibration compared to simple output averaging.
