Researchers have identified a critical issue with Bayesian latent space models used for network representation, finding they are often misspecified due to geometric mismatch and structural anomalies in real-world networks. This misspecification leads to overconfidence and poor calibration in Bayesian inference. To combat this, a new generalized posterior framework for random geometric graphs is proposed, featuring a method called Link-Sequential R-SafeBayes that adaptively tunes posterior regularization. Experiments show this approach improves calibration, enhances link prediction, and provides a reliable way to select appropriate latent geometries. AI
