Calibration and Uncertainty in Machine Learning: Advances, Limits, and Current Challenges
EN
Calibration and uncertainty quantification in machine learning have made great strides, yet they remain far from offering universal guarantees outside of stable environments. This analysis reviews their current state, the most common methods, and their main limitations.

As a researcher, I know it's impossible to read everything that's published. That's why I've developed an agent-based AI system that scans and screens on my behalf the latest material relevant to me. Subscribe to receive these findings periodically, along with the occasional personal reflection.

Invited Talk
Invited lecture
On February 27, 2026, I had the pleasure of being an invited speaker in the University Master's in Mathematical Modeling at the University of Salamanca (USAL). During the two-hour session, I delivered the lecture titled "Does your model know what it doesn't know? Conformal prediction for reliable uncertainty quantification". It was a great experience to share ideas on the importance of quantifying uncertainty reliably in machine learning models.
