Prediction-Powered Risk Monitoring of Deployed Models for Detecting Harmful Distribution Shifts
arXiv:2602.02229v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: We study the problem of monitoring model performance in dynamic environments where labeled data are limited. To this end, we propose prediction-powered risk monitoring (PPRM), a semi-supervised risk-monitoring approach based on prediction-powered inference (PPI). PPRM constructs anytime-valid lower bounds on the running risk by combining synthetic labels with a small set of true labels. Harmful shifts are detected via a threshold-based comparison with an upper bound on the nominal risk, satisfying assumption-free finite-sample guarantees on t
The proliferation of deployed AI models in real-world, dynamic environments necessitates robust, efficient methods for performance monitoring to ensure reliability and safety.
This research addresses a critical challenge in AI deployment by offering a semi-supervised method to detect harmful distribution shifts with strong theoretical guarantees, vital for maintaining model integrity in production.
The ability to accurately and efficiently monitor AI model performance in dynamic settings, even with limited labeled data, enhances trust in AI systems and supports their broader adoption in critical applications.
