New AI evaluation protocol addresses distribution shift with uncertainty quantification

Researchers have developed a novel evaluation protocol for sensor-based AI systems designed to account for distribution shift, a common issue where deployed models perform worse than during training. This staged protocol quantifies uncertainty and declares reference levels, treating model evaluation as a measurement process. It incorporates stages that progressively hold out devices, subjects, and time, assessing performance against chance references and identifying out-of-present-scope rates. The method was demonstrated on infrastructure-free geomagnetic localization using smartphone-based recurrent classifiers in underground mines, showing that unchanged models re-evaluated on data recorded 34 months later and with a held-out surveyor achieved a 5% quantile precision 16.5 times the chance level.
