Recent advancements in graph neural networks (GNNs) have highlighted the critical need of calibrating model predictions, with neighborhood prediction similarity recognized as a pivotal component. Existing studies suggest that nodes with analogous neighborhood prediction similarity often exhibit similar calibration characteristics. Building on this insight, recent approaches incorporate neighborhood similarity into node-wise temperature scaling techniques. However, our analysis reveals that this assumption does not hold universally. Calibration errors can differ significantly even among nodes with comparable neighborhood similarity, depending on their confidence levels. This necessitates a re-evaluation of existing GNN calibration methods, as a single, unified approach may lead to sub-optimal calibration. In response, we introduce Simi-Mailbox, a novel approach that categorizes nodes by both neighborhood similarity and their own confidence, irrespective of proximity or connectivity. Our method allows fine-grained calibration by employing group-specific temperature scaling, with each temperature tailored to address the specific miscalibration level of affiliated nodes, rather than adhering to a uniform trend based on neighborhood similarity. Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of our Simi-Mailbox across diverse datasets on different GNN architectures, achieving up to 13.79% error reduction compared to uncalibrated GNN predictions.

A cut-and-paste type of data augmentation strategy has attracted considerable attention in the vision community due to its simplicity and effectiveness in improving generalization performance. However, it is challenging for Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) tasks to apply this type of augmentation since segments corresponding to specific output tokens (e.g. words or sub-words) have various lengths. Furthermore, if speech signals are indiscriminately mixed without considering semantics, the risk of generating nonsensical sentences arises. To address these issues, in this paper, we propose WeavSpeech, still a simple yet effective cut-and-paste augmentation method for ASR tasks that weaves a pair of speech data considering semantics. Our method can be applied to any language without requiring language-specific knowledge and seamlessly integrated with other verified augmentations. We validate the superiority of our method on representative ASR benchmark datasets, including LibriSpeech and WSJ.
