On the Burden of Achieving Fairness in Conformal Prediction
Ziang Gao, Pengqi Liu, Archer Yi Yang +3
Conformal prediction is often calibrated with a single pooled threshold, but this can hide cross-group heterogeneity in score distributions and distort group-wise coverage. We stud…
Pause and Reflect: Conformal Aggregation for Chain-of-Thought Reasoning
Yu Gu, Zijun Yu, Vahid Partovi Nia +1
Chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning with self-consistency improves performance by aggregating multiple sampled reasoning paths. In this setting, correctness is no longer tied to a sin…
Beyond Procedure: Substantive Fairness in Conformal Prediction
Pengqi Liu, Zijun Yu, Mouloud Belbahri +3
Conformal prediction (CP) offers distribution-free uncertainty quantification for machine learning models, yet its interplay with fairness in downstream decision-making remains und…
Detection of Multiple Influential Observations on Model Selection
Dongliang Zhang, Masoud Asgharian, Martin A. Lindquist
Outlying observations are frequently encountered across a wide spectrum of scientific domains, posing notable challenges to the generalizability of statistical models and the repro…
