Researchers have introduced a new framework called Conformal Test Martingales (CTMs) designed to detect distribution shifts in data. These CTMs utilize p-values generated by a conformity function, but they can be blind to shifts that preserve the push-forward distribution. The study formalizes this limitation through an "A-equivalence class" and identifies the "A-cryptic I-projection" as the closest distribution within this class to a target distribution. This work connects to optimal e-value design and demonstrates the concept using high-dimensional image data by showing how a distribution can be altered without detection by the CTM. AI
