Researchers have developed a method to analyze how a classifier's reliability can change even when its confidence distribution remains constant. This analysis, termed a "fragility profile," quantifies the worst-case movement of reliability under specific covariate shifts constrained by a $\chi^2$ budget. The study found that calibration residual and grouping variance do not always determine fragility, particularly when labels and predictions are deterministic. The approach was tested on ImageNet using various classifiers, with results indicating a positive bound for several models, especially after temperature scaling. AI
