Conformal Prediction for Molecular Properties under Label Shift

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper introduces a conformal prediction framework designed for molecular property prediction under label shift. By weighting conformal scores with marginal label probability ratios, it generates statistically rigorous prediction intervals without retraining, enabling robust uncertainty quantification when property distributions change. This approach provides actionable confidence measures that improve the reliability of AI-driven predictions in drug discovery.

Split Conformal Prediction with Label-Shift-Adjusted Bayesian Scores

The paper introduces the Label-Shift-Adjusted Bayesian Score (LSA score), a nonconformity measure for conformal prediction that corrects Bayesian scores under label shift by applying an importance-weighted transformation of the source predictive distribution. Unlike residual-based scores that produce uniform-width intervals, the LSA score yields shorter, adaptive intervals while maintaining comparable coverage in the target domain. Experiments on molecular property prediction demonstrate that the LSA score outperforms both residual-based and source-based Bayesian scores, though all methods experience some coverage loss under stronger shifts due to density-ratio estimation challenges.

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.

Trustworthy Protein-Ligand Binding Affinity Prediction via Reliability-Aware Multi-Engine Fusion

Accurate protein-ligand binding affinity prediction is central to computational drug discovery, yet modern docking engines frequently disagree without indicating which prediction to trust. Consensus scoring and ensemble methods improve mean accuracy but treat all predictions identically without interpretable confidence measures or uncertainty decomposition, ignoring the chemical context of each protein-ligand pair.
