Abstract: A computer-implemented method of calibrating a trained classification model. The trained classification model is trained to classify input samples according to a plurality of classes and to provide associated prediction probabilities, and includes a plurality of hidden layers and at least one activation layer. The method includes accessing the trained classification model and accessing a plurality of validation samples, each validation sample having a ground-truth label, the ground-truth label indicating a ground-truth class. The method further includes applying the trained classification model to the plurality of validation samples, obtaining, for each validation sample, an output logit vector from a layer of the trained classification model preceding a last activation layer, and training a calibration module. The calibration module is trained to adjust prediction probabilities, the prediction probabilities being derived from the output logit vectors.

Abstract: A combiner assembly for a ceiling mounted projection head up display system for an aircraft cabin has an optical combiner (10), and a support mechanism (30, 32, 35) for supporting the optical combiner to be movable between an operational position and a stowage position, above the user, and laterally displaced, and facing an underside of the projector assembly by means of a lateral component of movement and a rotation component to reach the stowage position under the projector assembly (20). Such a two axis movement can make better use of limited headroom in cabins such as those of small aircraft, by enabling a stowage location offset to one side of the line of sight, while providing sufficient clearance from the user's head and from cabin structure, during the movement and/or when in the storage position.
