Online Conformal Anomaly Detection with Prediction-Powered Data Acquisition

Online Conformal Anomaly Detection with Prediction-Powered Data Acquisition introduces C-PP-COAD, a framework that uses synthetic calibration data to reduce reliance on real-world calibration while maintaining assumption-free false discovery rate control. The method wraps any anomaly detection algorithm, converting its scores into conformal p-values for online testing. Experiments on synthetic and real datasets—including thyroid dysfunction, O‑RAN conflict, 5G intrusion, and UE throughput degradation—show that C-PP-COAD preserves FDR guarantees while significantly cutting the need for real calibration data.

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.
