Reduced my Jev judge’s calibration error [D]
Mirrored from r/MachineLearning for archival readability. Support the source by reading on the original site.
I benchmarked Jev on TRIVIA+ dataset using an untouched 645-example test set.
Before calibration:
ECE: 0.0982
After learning from human-labelled examples:
ECE: 0.0313
That’s a 68.1% reduction in calibration error.
But hallucination-detection F1 only moved:
0.5833 → 0.5877
So what improved?
Not the judge’s ability to classify examples.
Its confidence became much more aligned with reality.
And that distinction matters.
If a judge score is only being displayed on a dashboard, maybe not much.
But if confidence > 0.8 means “automatically approve this answer,” or < 0.4 means “escalate to a human,” then badly calibrated scores can quietly become a production problem.
That’s one of the reasons I’ve been building calibration into Typed Evals instead of treating raw judge confidence as trustworthy by default.

Would be interested to know how people here pick production thresholds for LLM/Jev judges.
