arXiv:2606.11044v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conformal predictive systems (CPS) output calibrated bands of CDFs under exchangeability. We extend generalized CPS to non-exchangeable settings by encoding distributional shifts through observation-specific permutation weights. This yields shift-aware predictive systems that remain valid whenever the test point is, conditionally on the unordered sample, a weighted draw from the observed atoms. Since such weights are typically estimated, we introduce weight-uncertainty boxes and construct robust CPS envelopes with finite-sample or asymptotic co
The proliferation of AI models across varied and dynamic real-world environments necessitates robust methods for uncertainty quantification and predictive validity, especially under distributional shifts.
This research provides a foundational advancement in making AI systems more reliable and trustworthy by enabling calibrated predictions even when data distributions change, which is critical for real-world deployment.
AI models can now maintain predictive validity and generate reliable uncertainty bands in non-exchangeable settings or when data distributions shift, moving beyond the traditional assumption of static data.
