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.

๐Ÿงพ 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.

๐ŸŽฏ 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

๐Ÿ’ก 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
