New framework tackles post-selection bias in model evaluation

Researchers have developed a new framework called Post-Selection Distributional Model Evaluation (PS-DME) to address challenges in assessing machine learning models when the target performance metrics are not known beforehand. This method uses e-values to control for post-selection bias, ensuring statistically valid comparisons of models even after data-dependent pre-selection. Experiments across various domains, including text-to-SQL and network performance, demonstrate PS-DME's effectiveness in reliably exploring performance-reliability trade-offs. AI
