Adaptive conformal prediction on the Grassmannian

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper presents a conformal prediction framework for regression problems where the responses lie on the Grassmann manifold. It builds prediction regions as metric balls on the manifold, using basis‑invariant geometric distances as non‑conformity measures and scaling them with a learned prediction‑difficulty estimator to achieve locally adaptive, input‑dependent regions. The method preserves finite‑sample marginal coverage under exchangeability and is evaluated on synthetic data and an airfoil inverse shape‑design task, showing that geometry‑aware scores and local adaptation improve coverage uniformity and can reduce region size in heteroscedastic settings.

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.
