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.

Physics-Informed Conformal Prediction: Embedding PDE Consistency into Distribution-Free Uncertainty Quantification for Neural Operators

Physics-Informed Conformal Prediction (PI‑CP) embeds PDE residuals into the nonconformity score of split conformal prediction, yielding distribution‑free prediction intervals with provable coverage that adapt spatially to physics violations. The method demonstrates consistent 89‑91% coverage across six physics scenarios, outperforming MC Dropout and Deep Ensembles, while Fourier Neural Operators (FNO) achieve superior accuracy over CNN and DeepONet. Additionally, the authors prove that FNO’s translation equivariance limits its ability to solve PDEs with Dirichlet boundary conditions, and show that adding coordinate channels can reduce error by up to 63×.
