Calibration and uncertainty quantification for deep learning-based drought detection by Mengxue Zhang, Miguel-Ángel Fernández-Torres, Kai-Hendrik Cohrs, Gustau Camps-Valls

“…The calibration methodology yields the lowest expected calibration error (0.31%) and the precision of the uncertainty-based decision-making is improved from 72.27% to 74.06% and 76.59%, based on ensemble predictions and rejecting the predictions for the top 20% uncertain negative samples, respectively. In summary, our approach significantly enhances drought detection’s reliability and classification accuracy, constituting a key step toward more trustworthy and actionable climate decision-making.…”
