MARGIN: Runtime Confidence Calibration for Multi-Agent Foundation Model Coordination
Researchers have developed MARGIN, a novel online calibration method designed to improve the reliability of multi-agent foundation model coordination. Unlike traditional design-time calibration techniques that degrade under distribution shift, MARGIN learns calibration factors directly from the task stream in real-time. This approach requires no access to the models themselves or any held-out data. Empirical results across numerous models and benchmarks demonstrate that MARGIN significantly reduces calibration error and substantially enhances the ability to select the most accurate agent response in multi-agent systems.
