Edit Discovery in Human-AI Interactions
Alireza Mirrokni, Shayan Kiyani, George Pappas +1
Human-AI interactions are becoming a rich source of data for improving AI systems: while many model responses are already satisfactory, others expose failures that could become val…
Disagreement-Guided Weak-to-Strong Routing
Sima Noorani, Shayan Kiyani, George Pappas +1
Small language models are increasingly deployed on edge devices and robotic systems to meet cost and latency constraints, yet their limited capabilities can make reliable deploymen…
Strategic Decision Support for AI Agents
Shayan Kiyani, Sima Noorani, George Pappas +1
Traditionally, decision support studies how humans use machine learning models to make better decisions. In modern agentic systems, this division of roles is increasingly reversed:…
Conformal Risk-Averse Decision Making with Action Conditional Guarantee
Zihan Zhu, Shayan Kiyani, George Pappas +1
Reliable decision making pipelines powered by machine learning models require uncertainty quantification (UQ) methods that come with explicit safety guarantees. Conformal predictio…
Multi-Round Human-AI Collaboration with User-Specified Requirements
Sima Noorani, Shayan Kiyani, Hamed Hassani +1
As humans increasingly rely on multiround conversational AI for high stakes decisions, principled frameworks are needed to ensure such interactions reliably improve decision qualit…
When to Trust the Cheap Check: Weak and Strong Verification for Reasoning
Shayan Kiyani, Sima Noorani, George Pappas +1
Reasoning with LLMs increasingly unfolds inside a broader verification loop. Internally, systems use cheap checks, such as self-consistency or proxy rewards, which we call weak ver…
Human-AI Collaborative Uncertainty Quantification
Sima Noorani, Shayan Kiyani, George Pappas +1
AI predictive systems are increasingly embedded in decision making pipelines, shaping high stakes choices once made solely by humans. Yet robust decisions under uncertainty still r…
Robust Decision Making with Partially Calibrated Forecasts
Shayan Kiyani, Hamed Hassani, George Pappas +1
Calibration has emerged as a foundational goal in ``trustworthy machine learning'', in part because of its strong decision theoretic semantics. Independent of the underlying distri…
Conformal Prediction Beyond the Seen: A Missing Mass Perspective for Uncertainty Quantification in Generative Models
Sima Noorani, Shayan Kiyani, George Pappas +1
Uncertainty quantification (UQ) is essential for safe deployment of generative AI models such as large language models (LLMs), especially in high stakes applications. Conformal pre…
The Relationship between No-Regret Learning and Online Conformal Prediction
Ramya Ramalingam, Shayan Kiyani, Aaron Roth
Existing algorithms for online conformal prediction -- guaranteeing marginal coverage in adversarial settings -- are variants of online gradient descent (OGD), but their analyses o…
Decision Theoretic Foundations for Conformal Prediction: Optimal Uncertainty Quantification for Risk-Averse Agents
Shayan Kiyani, George Pappas, Aaron Roth +1
A fundamental question in data-driven decision making is how to quantify the uncertainty of predictions in ways that can usefully inform downstream action. This interface between p…
Conformal Inference under High-Dimensional Covariate Shifts via Likelihood-Ratio Regularization
Sunay Joshi, Shayan Kiyani, George Pappas +2
We consider the problem of conformal prediction under covariate shift. Given labeled data from a source domain and unlabeled data from a covariate shifted target domain, we seek to…
Length Optimization in Conformal Prediction
Shayan Kiyani, George Pappas, Hamed Hassani
Conditional validity and length efficiency are two crucial aspects of conformal prediction (CP). Conditional validity ensures accurate uncertainty quantification for data subpopula…
Conformal Prediction with Learned Features
Shayan Kiyani, George Pappas, Hamed Hassani
In this paper, we focus on the problem of conformal prediction with conditional guarantees. Prior work has shown that it is impossible to construct nontrivial prediction sets with…
Beyond the Universal Law of Robustness: Sharper Laws for Random Features and Neural Tangent Kernels
Simone Bombari, Shayan Kiyani, Marco Mondelli
Machine learning models are vulnerable to adversarial perturbations, and a thought-provoking paper by Bubeck and Sellke has analyzed this phenomenon through the lens of over-parame…
Sequential Estimation under Multiple Resources: a Bandit Point of View
Alireza Masoumian, Shayan Kiyani, Mohammad Hossein Yassaee
The problem of Sequential Estimation under Multiple Resources (SEMR) is defined in a federated setting. SEMR could be considered as the intersection of statistical estimation and b…
