arXiv:2606.06335v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Performance estimation under distribution shift aims to predict how a model behaves on an unlabeled test set whose distribution differs from the training data, a scenario that requires reliable indicators that can faithfully reflect model behavior without ground-truth labels. Existing approaches rely solely on the outputs of the given model whose biases are amplified once the distribution shifts, weakening the correlation with the true performance. Motivated by this limitation, we propose Fused Reference Alignment Prediction (FRAP), which leverag
The increasing deployment of AI models in diverse, real-world conditions where distribution shifts are common necessitates more robust performance estimation techniques to ensure reliability and trust.
Reliable performance estimation under distribution shift is crucial for deploying AI systems confidently in critical applications, reducing risks, and enabling broader adoption across industries.
This research introduces a novel method that moves beyond sole reliance on model outputs for performance estimation, integrating domain expertise to provide more accurate and robust predictions.
