Co-optimization for Adaptive Conformal Prediction

arXiv:2603. 01719v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In regression, conformal prediction often suffers from inefficiency under heteroscedasticity and skewness due to fixed, non-adaptive interval centering.

Isotonic Conformal Prediction

arXiv:2607. 16675v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: A point prediction that is well calibrated on average can still be systematically biased conditional on its own value, undermining its use in downstream decision-making.

On Optimal Data Splitting for Split Conformal Prediction

arXiv:2606. 31600v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conformal prediction and its variants, including the split conformal prediction, provide a distribution-free framework for uncertainty quantification by constructing prediction intervals or sets with finite-sample coverage guarantees.

Beyond Marginal Validity: Finite-Sample Guarantees for Localized Conformal Prediction

arXiv:2608. 06206v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conformal prediction endows arbitrary black-box predictors with finite-sample, distribution-free marginal coverage, yet marginal validity can hide severe covariate-specific miscalibration, while exact distribution-free conditional coverage is finite-sample unattainable.

Conformal Prediction for Distribution-to-Distribution Regression

The paper introduces a new conformal prediction framework for Distribution-to-Distribution Regression, addressing limitations of naive Split Conformal Prediction which produces non-interpretable sets. By operating in an orthogonal basis space, the method yields interpretable prediction sets while maintaining coverage guarantees. An adaptive variant achieving asymptotic conditional coverage is also presented, with empirical validation on synthetic and real-world data.

Tail-Aware Geometry Learning for Conformal Ellipsoids

The paper introduces a tail‑aware geometry learning framework for multivariate conformal prediction using ellipsoids. It decouples tail sensitivity from coverage guarantees by learning a metric matrix through volume minimization under a CVaR constraint, followed by standard conformal calibration. The approach is convex, prioritizes high‑residual samples, and theoretically balances ellipsoidal volume against tail severity, with experiments confirming its effectiveness.
