Given a prescription of unparametrised paths on a manifold $M$, one path for each tangent direction, we may ask whether these paths agree with the geodesics of a Riemannian metric on $M$. Generically, this is not the case. Motivated by this…

Uncertainty estimates must be calibrated (i.e., accurate) and sharp (i.e., informative) in order to be useful. This has motivated a variety of methods for recalibration, which use held-out data to turn an uncalibrated model into a…
