Calibeating for general proper losses: A Bregman divergence approach

arXiv:2605.17269v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This work introduces a general framework for calibeating based on regret minimization. As compared to Foster and Hart's seminal calibeating work which had specialized treatments of Brier score (squared loss) and log loss, we consider a large family of proper losses that includes $\alpha$-Tsallis losses (for $\alpha \in [1, 2]$) and Lipschitz losses. Our results for Tsallis losses also hold for an unscaled version of Tsallis loss that recovers log loss. Our analysis is oriented around the Bregman divergence view of a proper loss. Technically,
