The paper introduces a partial verification approach for conformal prediction that yields the same prediction sets as full verification. It defines calibration certificates—minimal verified information needed to set the conformal threshold—and presents a coordinated verification procedure. The method reduces verification cost by 15–82% compared to sequential verification while maintaining identical prediction sets.

arXiv:2606. 03600v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Standard conformal prediction (CP) procedures are typically formulated in terms of p-values, but reliance on p-values alone limits flexibility, for example, when combining dependent evidence across models or data splits.
Conformal prediction replaces single-class predictions with prediction sets that guarantee a pre-specified coverage probability. The paper reviews properties of non‑conformity score functions, presents examples from the literature, and proposes new modifications. It introduces a method to evaluate prediction set sizes and compares different score functions, including their effectiveness for class‑conditional conformal prediction with imbalanced classes.

Conformal Calibration Transfer addresses the challenge of applying conformal prediction when labeled calibration data is only available in a source space, while predictions are needed in a target space linked via unlabeled paired observations. The proposed Transported Conformal Calibration (TCC) method transports source calibration into the target domain and then corrects residual mismatches using only unlabeled target inputs, with two variants: TCC‑KS, which conservatively adjusts calibration based on a label‑free uncertainty surrogate, and weighted‑TCC, which reweights transported calibration for efficiency when weights are stable. Finite‑sample target‑domain coverage guarantees are provided, and experiments on CIFAR‑100‑C, Tiny‑ImageNet‑C, and SEN12MS demonstrate reliable coverage transfer without labeled target data, along with label‑free diagnostics to signal when correction is required.
