This paper introduces a practical method for estimating optimal classification error in binary classification tasks, particularly when dealing with soft labels and calibration. The research extends prior work by theoretically analyzing the bias of hard-label estimators and addressing the challenge of corrupted soft labels. The proposed method, which is instance-free and thus suitable for privacy-sensitive scenarios, demonstrates consistency even with imperfectly calibrated soft labels. AI
