Why model calibration matters and how to achieve it

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

For these ML systems, calibration simplifies interaction. The numerical value of the signal became decoupled from the event it was measuring even as the ordinal value remained unchanged. bar{pi} (1 - bar{pi})$: This is the irreducible loss due to uncertainty. And users may start receiving a lot more spam!
