Pandora's Regret: A Proper Scoring Rule for Evaluating Sequential Search

Researchers have introduced Pandora's Regret, a novel scoring rule designed to evaluate sequential search processes more effectively than traditional methods. Unlike local rules like log loss, Pandora's Regret considers the ranking of alternatives and the costs associated with testing them. This new rule is derived from analyzing expected search costs and provides a way to elicit true probabilities while penalizing miscalibrations that rank incorrect options higher than the correct one. Its application to MedMNIST models demonstrated a better prediction of clinical diagnostic costs compared to existing metrics. AI

    Pandora's Regret: A Proper Scoring Rule for Evaluating Sequential Search

    arXiv:2605.01936v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In sequential search, alternatives are tested until the true class is found. Standard proper scoring rules like log loss are local, ignoring the ranking of competitors and misaligning model evaluation with search utility. We show th…
