arXiv:2605.24983v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Conformal prediction is a useful and versatile alternative to model calibration in machine learning classification. It replaces single-class prediction with prediction sets, guaranteeing that the \textit{a priori} probability of the prediction sets containing the true class is larger than or equal to a pre-specified rate. The size and usefulness of the prediction sets relies heavily on the choice of the non-conformity score function. The scientific literature contains many examples of non-conformity score functions but there is an absence of stud
The increasing adoption of machine learning in critical applications necessitates robust uncertainty quantification methods, making advancements in conformal prediction highly relevant.
Improved methods for quantifying uncertainty in AI predictions are crucial for developing more reliable and trustworthy AI systems, particularly in sensitive domains.
This research provides a benchmark for evaluating different non-conformity score functions, which will lead to more effective and reliable conformal prediction implementations.
