The relaxation to permutation invariance in distribution is shown to be insufficient for full conformal prediction validity under stochastic non-conformity measures, and Conditional Independence & Permutation Invariance in Distribution is provided as the correct sufficient condition.
JECS aggregates per-model conformal p-values via their maximum and reconstructs a conservative envelope of the max-p null distribution to select benchmarks with global contamination rate control.
Derives simultaneous high-probability upper bounds on realized FDP for conformal p-values that hold for arbitrary post-hoc thresholds via an envelope on the null empirical distribution function.
Two novel online conformal prediction algorithms enforce nested prediction sets across coverage levels using online optimization with regret bounds for quantile error control.
Non-asymptotic decomposition of conditional miscoverage in conformal prediction into score-estimation error, finite-sample calibration error, and intrinsic conditional-mismatch error, with guidance for model selection and extensions to covariate shift and structured data.
TRACE creates valid conformal prediction sets for complex generative models by scoring outputs via averaged denoising or velocity errors along stochastic transport paths instead of likelihoods.
Risk-controlled post-processing yields a threshold-structured policy that follows the baseline except where an oracle fallback sharply reduces conditional violation risk, achieving O(log n/n) expected excess risk in i.i.d. settings and exact risk control under exchangeability.
Trimming helps conformal prediction under contamination precisely when the anomaly score separates retention probabilities without biasing clean scores, otherwise the retained mixture coefficient prevents substantial decontamination.
A classification-integrated conformal framework for zero-inflated outcomes that guarantees marginal coverage and asymptotic minimal length under exchangeability, independent of the underlying models.
SA-BCP adaptively blends temporal Bayesian predictions with spatial KDE evidence via threshold K, derives closed-form MSE-optimal K, and provides an online selection procedure with regret bounds, yielding sharper intervals at nominal coverage on volatility and weather data.
We derive powerful e-processes for sequential stochastic-dominance testing, with power-one guarantees for first- and higher-order dominance.
Temperature scaling of density-matrix eigenvalues from LLM semantic embeddings optimizes proper-score calibration and corrects systematic overconfidence so entropy equals risk.

BalanceRAG uses sequential graphical testing on a 2D lattice of threshold pairs to certify safe operating points that meet target risk levels in cascaded RAG while increasing coverage.
C-SymmPI reformulates conditional coverage as miscoverage error over a user-specified function class to deliver near-conditional guarantees under group symmetries and distributional invariance.

A fair conformal classification method guarantees conditional coverage on adaptively identified subgroups defined via learned representations.
A model-agnostic two-stage estimator for conditional quantiles that represents the high-fidelity quantile as a low-fidelity quantile evaluated at a covariate-dependent level, with theory on faster convergence rates under shape similarity.
