Evaluating Persistent Calibration under Evolving Model Knowledge
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.38797v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As AI systems move from static repositories to agents that are capable of continual adaptation and learning, maintaining their trustworthiness means equipping the models backing them with the ability to produce confidence estimates that dynamically reflect their changing skills and knowledge. We introduce the problem of persistent calibration, which requires a confidence estimator to faithfully reflect the knowledge contained in a model as that knowledge changes, without recurring supervision. We operationalize this by examining persistent cali
