Calibration-Aware Margin Loss: Pushing the Accuracy-Calibration Consistency Pareto Frontier for Deep Metric Learning

no code implementations8 Jul 2023 Qin Zhang, Linghan Xu, Qingming Tang, Jun Fang, Ying Nian Wu, Joe Tighe, Yifan Xing

In this paper, we propose a novel metric named Operating-Point-Incosistency-Score (OPIS) that measures the variance in the operating characteristics across different classes in a target calibration range, and demonstrate that high accuracy of a metric learning embedding model does not guarantee calibration consistency for both seen and unseen classes.
