新研究推进共形预测在不确定性量化方面的应用
作者PulseAugur 编辑部·[16 个来源]·
几篇近期研究论文探讨了共形预测的进展,这是一种用于量化机器学习模型不确定性的方法。其中一篇论文介绍了一种高效的在线共形选择技术,该技术所需的反馈较少;另一篇则侧重于实现共形预测公平性所涉及的权衡,强调了覆盖率和集合大小之间的张力。其他研究深入探讨了共形预测的新理论框架,包括使用迁移的 beta 分布、通过分数变换收紧覆盖界限以及通过扩展到多变量校准来优化不分割数据的预测集。

arXiv:2605.21928v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Estimating treatment effects from observational data requires choosing an adjustment set, but valid adjustment depends on an unknown causal graph. Graph misspecification can cause under-coverage, while graph-agnostic conformal wrapp…
We address the problem of conformal selection, where an agent must select a minimal subset of options to ensure that at least one ``success'' is identified with a pre-specified target probability $φ$. While traditional online conformal prediction focuses on maintaining validity f…
Conformal prediction is often calibrated with a single pooled threshold, but this can hide cross-group heterogeneity in score distributions and distort group-wise coverage. We study this phenomenon through the population score distributions underlying split conformal calibration.…

Modern applications of conformal inference to multiple testing problems, such as outlier detection and candidate selection, often involve selecting test samples whose conformal p-values fall below a threshold. The quality of such methods is often measured by the false discovery p…
