• Abstract summary: We study the effect of popular calibration techniques in selecting better subsets of samples during training. We observe that calibration can improve the quality of subsets, reduce the number of examples per epoch, and can thereby speed up the overall training process.

• Abstract: Calibration can reduce overconfident predictions of deep neural networks, but can calibration also accelerate training by selecting the right samples? In this paper, we show that it can. We study the effect of popular calibration techniques in selecting better subsets of samples during training (also called sample prioritization) and observe that calibration can improve the quality of subsets, reduce the number of examples per epoch (by at least 70%), and can thereby speed up the overall training process. We further study the effect of using calibrated pre-trained models coupled with calibration during training to guide sample prioritization, which again seems to improve the quality of samples selected.

  In deep learning, test-time adaptation has gained attention as a method for model fine-tuning without the need for labeled data. This paper explores calibration during test-time prompt tuning by leveraging the inherent properties of CLIP. We present a novel method, Calibrated Test-time Prompt Tuning (C-TPT), for optimizing prompts during test-time with enhanced calibration.

  We introduce kernel-based calibration metrics that unify and generalize popular forms of calibration for both classification and regression. These metrics admit differentiable sample estimates, making it easy to incorporate a calibration objective into empirical risk minimization. We provide intuitive mechanisms to tailor calibration metrics to a decision task, and enforce accurate loss estimation and no regret decisions.

  Deep learning requires regularization mechanisms to reduce overfitting and improve generalization. We address this problem by a new regularization method based on distributional robust optimization. During the training, the selection of samples is done according to their accuracy in such a way that the worst performed samples are the ones that contribute the most in the optimization.
