This is the code that accompanies the paper "Consistent and Asymptotically Unbiased Estimation of Proper Calibration Errors", published at AISTATS 2024.

The paper proposes a consistent and asymtotically unbiased estimator of any proper calibration error, which is a general class of calibration errors derived from risk minimization via proper scores.

Installation

conda env create -f conda_env.yml
conda activate proper-ce

To use it in your project

To evaluate proper calibration error using our estimator, you can copy the file src/calibration_error/bregman_ce.py in your repo. The bandwidth of the kernel can either be manually set, or chosen by maximizing the leave-one-out likelihood with the method get_bandwidth. For example, an estimate of $L_2$ and KL calibration error can be obtained with:

from calibration_error.bregman_ce import get_bregman_ce, l2_norm, negative_entropy

# Generate dummy probability scores and labels
f = torch.rand((50, 3))
f = f / torch.sum(f, dim=1).unsqueeze(-1)
y = torch.randint(0, 3, (50,))
bandwidth = 0.001

kde_l2 = get_bregman_ce(l2_norm, f, y, bandwidth)
kde_kl = get_bregman_ce(negative_entropy, f, y, bandwidth)

To reproduce our results

Downloading the pretrained models

Download the pretrained models from Zenodo, and place them in trained_models.

Running our experiments

To reproduce Table 2 and Table 3, run the calibration_methods.py script.

The code for generating Figure 2 can be found in synthetic_experiment.py, whereas Figure 3 is generated in notebooks/mnist_mlp_monotonicity.ipynb.

The Figures and Tables in the Appendix are generated with the code in the visualization folder. Make sure to download the results.zip file from Zenodo and place it in trained_models. The result files were generated using the scripts in visualization/helper.
