A Deep Dive into Calibration of Language Models: Platt Scaling, Isotonic Regression, Temperature Scaling

  #  Introduction   A model that says it is 90% confident should be right 90% of the time. When that relationship breaks down, you get a miscalibration problem. The model's scores stop telling you anything useful about reliability. For large language models (LLMs), miscalibration is widespread. A 2024 NAACL survey found that confidence scores…

TurboQuant: Is the Compression and Performance Worth the Hype?

  #  Introduction   TurboQuant is a novel algorithmic suite and library recently launched by Google. Its goal is to apply advanced quantization and compression to large language models (LLMs) and vector search engines — indispensable elements of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems — to improve their efficiency drastically. TurboQuant has been shown to successfully reduce…
