New Conformal Selection Method Uses Target-Membership Scores

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.

    Null-Calibrated Conformal Selection via Target-Membership Scores

    Conformal selection aims to identify test candidates whose unknown responses fall in a target region while controlling the false discovery rate. Existing methods often inherit prediction-oriented nonconformity scores, such as residual or clipped residual scores, from conformal pr…
