New SelPI method enables joint prediction, interval bounding, and abstention

A new research paper introduces SelPI, a method that jointly trains a deep learning model to provide point estimates, prediction intervals, and an abstention option. Unlike existing methods that offer these capabilities in isolation, SelPI uses a single loss function with an explicit acceptance-rate budget. Experiments across 18 tabular benchmarks show that SelPI's learned abstention mechanism outperforms relying on interval width or deep-ensemble disagreement for selecting reliable predictions. AI

IMPACT Enhances model reliability by enabling joint prediction, interval bounding, and abstention, potentially improving decision-making in high-stakes applications.

    Selective Prediction Intervals: Jointly Learning to Predict, Bound, and Abstain

    arXiv:2611.06158v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Many high-stakes regression decisions ask three things of a model at once: a point estimate to act on, an interval that bounds the risk of acting, and the option to abstain when neither can be trusted. Deep learning provides these i…
