New diagnostic tool assesses confidence thresholding in pseudo-labeling

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

Researchers have developed a new diagnostic tool to assess the reliability of confidence thresholding in pseudo-labeling pipelines for regression tasks. This method provides a way to predict the bias introduced by thresholding calibrated classifier scores, using the residual score variance on unlabelled data. The proposed $(V^{*}, \kappa)$ decision rule aims to help practitioners determine when confidence thresholding is a safe practice. AI

IMPACT Provides a new operational tool for practitioners to improve the reliability of pseudo-labelled regression models.
