Conformal Prediction under Partial Verification

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

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.

Coverage Guarantees for Pseudo-Calibrated Conformal Prediction under Distribution Shift

arXiv:2602. 14913v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Conformal prediction (CP) offers distribution-free marginal coverage guarantees under an exchangeability assumption, but these guarantees can fail if the data distribution shifts.

Set-Preserving Calibration from Conformal P-Values to E-Values

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.

Benchmarking non-conformity score functions in conformal prediction

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.
