A new paper published on arXiv details how temperature scaling, a common post-hoc calibration method for AI models, can significantly distort Bayes-error proxy estimates. Researchers Ishida and Ushio found that this distortion is so pronounced that a classifier with fixed decisions and error rate can report any proxy value across a wide range. Their work provides an exact, model-free identity that links the temperature-scaled proxy to the classifier's margin distribution, offering a precise account of the distortion that motivates calibration-based remedies.
