Asked about Estimation, likelihood and uncertainty
What does it mean for a model to be calibrated?
An answer that works
Its predicted probabilities match observed frequencies: predictions made at 80 percent are right about 80 percent of the time. Most deep networks are overconfident, which matters whenever a probability drives a decision.
