A new paper titled "Observational Multiplicity" introduces the concept of observational multiplicity to describe how multiple models can perform nearly equally well on prediction tasks. This phenomenon can lead to conflicting predictions for individuals, impacting interpretability and safety. The research proposes evaluating the arbitrariness of individual probability predictions using a measure of "regret," which quantifies how a model's predictions might change based on different training labels. The authors present a method to estimate this regret and demonstrate its potential application in promoting safety through abstention and targeted data collection, noting that regret is often higher for certain demographic groups.
