New framework maps selective prediction risk under covariate shift

Researchers have developed a new framework called the Floor Certification Map to address selective prediction under covariate shift. This map helps operators ensure a minimum coverage floor ($eta$) for predictions while maintaining a low error rate ($\alpha$). The approach involves analyzing risk in labeled source data and unlabeled target samples, with theoretical results for different models (Model-B, Model-A, Model-B') and empirical validation on a SQuAD-to-NewsQA dataset.

    Certify or Refuse: A Cross-Model Map for Selective Risk Control with Coverage Floors under Covariate Shift

    arXiv:2608.10893v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Certified selective predictors attain whatever coverage they attain; operators impose an automation floor: answer at least a $\beta$-fraction of shifted target traffic with at most an $\alpha$-fraction of answers wrong. Under bounde…
