New method jointly optimizes neural network accuracy and calibration

Researchers have developed a novel method for jointly optimizing neural network accuracy and calibration, eliminating the need for separate post-hoc calibration steps. This bilevel Stackelberg formulation integrates calibration directly into the training process, using cross-entropy to simultaneously improve both metrics. The approach demonstrates that using the final classification layer as the calibrator is sufficient for achieving accurate and well-calibrated models with minimal added complexity, outperforming existing state-of-the-art calibration techniques.

    Calibration in One Go: Jointly Learning Accurate and Calibrated Neural Networks

    arXiv:2610.13693v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural networks (NNs), while highly flexible and versatile, are often poorly calibrated. Post-hoc calibration methods adjust the outputs of an already trained model using a separate calibration dataset and additional calibration p…
