We study the fundamental question of how to define and measure the distance from calibration for probabilistic predictors. While the notion of perfect calibration is well-understood, there is no consensus on how to quantify the distance from perfect calibration. Numerous calibration measures have been proposed in the literature, but it is unclear how they compare …
By Burak Bacioglu, Meenakshi Jindal Asset Management at Netflix At Netflix, all of our digital media assets (images, videos, text, etc.) are stored in secure storage layers.
