Researchers have introduced Null-Calibrated Conformal Selection (NCCS), a novel approach to identifying test candidates with responses falling within a target region while controlling the false discovery rate. Unlike existing methods that often use prediction-oriented scores, NCCS utilizes target-membership probability as the natural score for selection. This method is particularly effective for interval-valued, variance-driven, multimodal, or multi-condition targets, where conventional scores may misalign with selection power. Experiments demonstrate that NCCS provides finite-sample valid null p-values and offers a trade-off between power and validity in rare-target regimes. AI
IMPACT This research offers a more robust method for candidate selection in machine learning, particularly for complex target regions, potentially improving the reliability of AI model evaluations.
