Self-Supervised Calibration of Scientific Instruments Using Physical Consistency Constraints

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2606. 29466v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Calibration remains one of the principal obstacles to the deployment of machine learning in scientific instrumentation because it typically relies on expert intervention, dedicated procedures, and manually labelled data.

Physics-Informed Self-Supervised Learning for Joint Wire Calibration and Interaction Position Reconstruction in Multi-Wire Parallel Plate Avalanche Counters

The paper introduces a physics-informed self‑supervised learning framework that jointly calibrates wire gains and reconstructs interaction positions in Multi‑Wire Parallel Plate Avalanche Counters (MWPPACs) without labelled data or dedicated calibration runs. By treating calibration as a latent optimization problem, the method simultaneously estimates global wire gains and event‑wise positions using only detector geometry and charge‑energy consistency constraints. A detector‑independent neural network learns sub‑wire position reconstruction from local charge distributions, enabling continuous self‑calibration and improved spatial homogeneity and resolution, as demonstrated on the VAMOS++ spectrometer’s entrance MWPPACs.

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.
