Bag of Tricks for In-Distribution Calibration of Pretrained TransformersJaeyoung Kim, Dongbin Na, Sungchul Choi et al.
While pre-trained language models (PLMs) have become a de-facto standard promoting the accuracy of text classification tasks, recent studies find that PLMs often predict over-confidently. Although various calibration methods have been proposed, such as ensemble learning and data augmentation, most of the methods have been verified in computer vision benchmarks rather than in PLM-based text classification tasks. In this paper, we present an empirical study on confidence calibration for PLMs, addressing three categories, including confidence penalty losses, data augmentations, and ensemble methods. We find that the ensemble model overfitted to the training set shows sub-par calibration performance and also observe that PLMs trained with confidence penalty loss have a trade-off between calibration and accuracy. Building on these observations, we propose the Calibrated PLM (CALL), a combination of calibration techniques. The CALL complements the drawbacks that may occur when utilizing a calibration method individually and boosts both classification and calibration accuracy. Design choices in CALL's training procedures are extensively studied, and we provide a detailed analysis of how calibration techniques affect the calibration performance of PLMs.

Machine-Learning Approach to Analyze the Status of Forklift Vehicles with Irregular Movement in a ShipyardHyeonju Lee, Jongho Lee, Minji An et al.
In large shipyards, the management of equipment, which are used for building a variety of ships, is critical. Because orders vary year to year, shipyard managers are required to determine methods to make the most of their limited resources. A particular difficulty that arises because of the nature and size of shipyards is the management of moving vehicles. In recent years, shipbuilding companies have attempted to manage and track the locations and movements of vehicles using Global Positioning System (GPS) modules. However, because certain vehicles, such as forklifts, roam irregularly around a yard, identifying their working status without being onsite is difficult. Location information alone is not sufficient to determine whether a vehicle is working, moving, waiting, or resting. This study proposes an approach based on machine learning to identify the work status of each forklift. We use the DBSCAN and k-means algorithms to identify the area in which a particular forklift is operating and the type of work it is performing. We developed a business intelligence system to collect information from forklifts equipped with GPS and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The system provides visual information on the status of individual forklifts and helps in the efficient management of their movements within large shipyards.
