Universal Probability-Free Conformal Prediction

چکیده
We construct a universal prediction system in the spirit of Popper’s falsifiability and Kolmogorov complexity. This prediction system does not depend on any statistical assumptions, but under the IID assumption it dominates, although in a rather weak sense, conformal prediction. Not for nothing do we call the laws of nature “laws”: the more they prohibit, the more they say. The Logic of Scientific Discovery Karl Popper

Universal Spectrum of 2d Conformal Field Theory in the Large c Limit
Two-dimensional conformal field theories exhibit a universal free energy in the high temperature limit T → ∞, and a universal spectrum in the Cardy regime, ∆ → ∞. We show that a much stronger form of universality holds in theories with a large central charge c and a sparse light spectrum. In these theories, the free energy is universal at all values of the temperature, and the microscopic spect...
متن کاملReliable Confidence Predictions Using Conformal Prediction
Conformal classifiers output confidence prediction regions, i.e., multi-valued predictions that are guaranteed to contain the true output value of each test pattern with some predefined probability. In order to fully utilize the predictions provided by a conformal classifier, it is essential that those predictions are reliable, i.e., that a user is able to assess the quality of the predictions ...
متن کاملRadiobiological Model-Based Comparison of Three-Dimensional Conformal and Intensity-Modulated Radiation Therapy Plans for Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
Introduction: Radiobiological modeling of radiotherapy plans are used for treatment plan comparisons. The current study aimed to compare the three-dimensional conformal radiation therapy (3DCRT) and intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans for nasopharyngeal cancer using radiobiological modeling. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted on 10 patients with nasopharyngeal carci...
متن کاملA Tutorial on Conformal Prediction
Conformal prediction uses past experience to determine precise levels of confidence in new predictions. Given an error probability ε, together with a method that makes a prediction ŷ of a label y, it produces a set of labels, typically containing ŷ, that also contains y with probability 1− ε. Conformal prediction can be applied to any method for producing ŷ: a nearest-neighbor method, a support...
متن کاملUniversal prediction and universal coding
Although prediction schemes which are named \universal" are now abundant, very little has been addressed as to the de nition of universal prediction. This paper addresses for -nary ( 2) sequences the criteria of successful universal prediction and the prediction schemes which achieve the goals. We propose the following criteria: for any probability measures in a given measure class, the error p...
