Researchers propose replicable conformal prediction method

A new research paper introduces a method for achieving replicable conformal prediction, addressing the instability of standard methods where independent calibrations can yield different prediction sets. The proposed solution involves sharing a random seed or using a coarse grid for calibration thresholds, which ensures identical classifiers across analysts with high probability while maintaining coverage guarantees. This approach quantifies the trade-off between replicability and prediction set size, demonstrating its effectiveness on real-world data from ImageNet outputs, a hospital site split, and various language models.
