Post-hoc Calibration
MITIntroduced 2025-06-22
Post-hoc Calibration Dataset
This dataset collection is designed for the evaluation and development of post-hoc calibration methods for deep neural network classifiers. It provides precomputed logits and labels across a range of standard classification benchmarks, enabling rigorous, reproducible calibration research.
๐งพ Dataset Characteristics
- Contains logits and ground-truth labels from pretrained neural networks on popular datasets: CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, SVHN, Stanford Cars (CARS), CUB-200 (BIRDS), and ImageNet.
- Datasets are split into training and test sets, tailored specifically for post-hoc calibration tasks.
- Pretrained networks include ResNet, WideResNet, DenseNet, Swin Transformer, and task-specific fine-tuned architectures.
๐ฏ Motivation and Content Summary
Modern neural networks often produce poorly calibrated probability estimates, which can hinder decision-making in risk-sensitive applications. This dataset addresses the need for standardized benchmarks for post-hoc calibration by offering a unified collection of:
- Ground-truth labels and classification results (logits) from diverse architectures
- Calibration tasks across datasets with varying number of classes and granularity
- Consistent experimental setup for fair comparison across different calibration methods
๐ก Potential Use Cases
- Developing and benchmarking post-hoc calibration algorithms
- Evaluating the generalization ability of calibration methods across domains and data distributions
- Supporting studies in neural network confidence estimation and uncertainty quantification
