Stats
"Existing posthoc calibration methods, such as [16, 24, 34, 37, 53, 54], typically utilize a fully-labeled calibration dataset that has a similar distribution as the test data [35, 42, 56] to learn general calibration rules for test distributions."
"OpenGCN achieves significant improvements compared to traditional posthoc calibration methods across all datasets."
Quotes
"OpenGCN learns to predict pairwise connectivity for the unlabeled test instances embedded in a graph to determine its TPR and TNR at various distance thresholds."
"Addressing these challenges is crucial for the reliability of DML-based open-world recognition systems."
