arXiv:2605. 20726v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Modern applications of conformal inference to multiple testing problems, such as outlier detection and candidate selection, often involve selecting test samples whose conformal p-values fall below a threshold.

arXiv:2605. 13642v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Most anomaly detection systems output scores rather than calibrated decisions, leaving practitioners to choose thresholds heuristically and without clear statistical interpretation.

arXiv:2606. 13780v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Machine-learned anomaly detection is reshaping searches for new physics, but it has outrun the statistics used to interpret it.

arXiv:2607. 26704v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Anomaly detection methods often have uncertain behavior with respect to samples near the distribution boundary, limiting their ability to anticipate future anomalies.

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.
