Softmax-based uncertainty estimates also break down under covariate shift or on out-of-distribution inputs. This paper proposes the SDM (Similarity-Distance-Magnitude) activation as a drop-in replacement for softmax at the final layer. ## All works 3 works of theirs in our library, the most cited first; 2 with a page here, the others link their original until we summarise them. 1. **[Adapting Sequence Models for Sentence Correction](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/schmaltz-2017-adapting-sequence-models-sentence-correction/) [Conference on Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing (EMNLP)](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/emnlp/)**Allen Schmaltz, Yoon Kim, Alexander Rush, et al.*2017 · 77 citations* 2. **[Sentence-Level Grammatical Error Identification as Sequence-to-Sequence Correction ↗](https://aclanthology.org/W16-0528/) Proceedings of the 11th Workshop on Innovative Use of NLP for Building Educational Applications · no summary yet**Allen Schmaltz et al.*2016 · 57 citations* 3. **[Similarity-Distance-Magnitude Activations](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/papers/schmaltz-2026-similarity-distance-magnitude-activations/) [Findings of the Association for Computational Linguistics](https://md.research.elamur.ai/free/en/venues/findings/)**Allen Schmaltz*2026* ## Co-authors here 3 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Alexander M.
