New research tackles online conformal prediction and selection challenges · 3 sources tracked

Three new research papers explore advancements in online conformal prediction and selection, addressing limitations in existing methods. The first paper introduces a unified framework for online conformal prediction that simultaneously controls coverage violation and prediction-set efficiency, even in adversarial settings. The second paper focuses on efficient online conformal selection with limited feedback, demonstrating adversarial validity and stochastic efficiency under bandit-like feedback. The third paper proposes Robust Conformalized Selection (RCS), a method designed to maintain valid false discovery rate control even when calibration data is contaminated with noisy responses, and shows its effectiveness in various applications including large language models. AI
