Calibration

Navigation apps like Google Maps only work as intended if the device you’re using does one basic thing well: locate you, the user, accurately. If a navigation app can’t find you, it can lead to all kids of annoying navigation and direction issues.If you experience any location issues with your phone, you might consider calibrating the app, which is very easy to do. It’s actually even easier to do on Android, but iPhone users also have a way to fix Google Maps location issues. Calibrate Google Maps on iPhone and…

Dennis Wise/University of Washington Google is eyeing a piece of the health market with the upcoming Pixel 8 Pro, thanks to a temperature sensor that would reportedly let users sense fever symptoms. Unlike the ill-fated Soli radar sensor on the Pixel 4 series, this one makes sense. Keeping an eye on your body temperature, especially the fluctuations, is crucial as abnormal spikes or drops can be a sign of serious body system malfunctions and diseases. As such, there’s no dearth of mobile apps that let users keep…

The market for ADAS calibration equipment will also grow in the next few years due to rising rates of traffic accidents and the adoption of stricter rules for the enhancement of passenger safety.The global market for Advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) calibration equipment is anticipated to produce a value of USD 911.2 million in 2033, with sales increasing at a fantastic compound yearly growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6% from 2023 to 2033, according to a recently…

Too Long; Didn't ReadCalibration is one of the most important concepts in machine learning. It tells us how much we can trust a model prediction, especially in classification models. Having a good grasp of calibration is a necessity for the meaningful interpretation of numerical outputs of machine learning classifiers. In this article, we'll discuss the theory behind machine learning model calibration and its importance through some simple real-life examples.L O A D I N G. . . comments & more! Too Long; Didn't…

Statistics for Data ScienceA practical guide on probability calibrationPhoto by Edge2Edge Media on UnsplashSuppose you have a binary classifier and two observations; the model scores them as 0.6 and 0.99, respectively. Is there a higher chance that the sample with the 0.99 score belongs to the positive class? For some models, this is true, but for others it might not.This blog post will dive deeply into probability calibration-an essential tool for every data scientist and machine learning engineer. Probability…

Back in February, Microsoft announced that an HDR Calibration app to help Windows 11 users optimize color accuracy and consistency for gaming on their HDR displays was on its way. The app, spotted by Thurrott, has now arrived and is available for download.The app includes three test patterns, which you can use to test for the darkest and brightest visible details you can see on your display as well as its maximum brightness. You can customize how vividly colors will appear for both HDR and SDR content.In order to use the…

Part 1: Learn about calibrating machine learning models to obtain sensible and interpretable probabilities as outputsPhoto by Adi Goldstein on UnsplashDespite the plethora of blogs one can find today that talk about fancy machine learning and deep learning models, I could not find many resources that spoke about model calibration and its importance. What I found even more surprising was that model calibration can be critical for some use cases and yet it is not spoken about enough. Hence, I will write a 4 part series…
