“However, such calibration methods are based on a discretization of the Deep model outputs into bins. Many bins are not useful as they only contain a few outputs with low values, whereas many high values fall in the same bin and are thus not discriminated. Moreover, the choice of the number of bins is left to the user, and therefore is not optimized to the Deep model nor to a specific application.”

“However, such calibration methods are based on a discretization of the Deep model outputs into bins. Many bins are not useful as they only contain a few outputs with low values, whereas many high values fall in the same bin and are thus not discriminated. Moreover, the choice of the number of bins is left to the user choice, and therefore is not optimized for the Deep Learning model nor to a specific application. Nevertheless, other algorithms propose to set a threshold by group of classes (e.g. morphologically similar clades of plankton) in order to increase the precision but at the cost of recall which falls drastically1,2. We present a simple, yet efficient method that accounts for uncertainty in the classifier outputs which extends previous works1,2 by formalizing and proposing a general framework which can be applied to control error rates with regard to ecological concerns.”
