Transductive conformal predictors
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper discusses a transductive version of conformal predictors. This version is computationally inefficient for big test sets, but it turns out that apparently crude “Bonferroni predictors” are about as good in their information efficiency and vastly superior in computational efficiency.

Informational and Computational Efficiency of Set Predictors
There are two methods of set prediction that are provably valid under the assumption of randomness: transductive conformal prediction and inductive conformal prediction. The former method is informationally efficient but often lacks computational efficiency. The latter method is, vice versa, computationally efficient but less efficient informationally. This talk discusses a new method, which we...
متن کاملComparing Performance of Different Inductive and Transductive Conformal Predictors Relevant to Drug Discovery
We present an evaluation of the impact of transductive, inductive, aggregated and cross inductive mondrian conformal prediction on the validity and efficiency of predictions. The aim of the study is to give guidance to which methods perform best where there is limited data. The evaluation has been made on a large public dataset of Ames mutagenicity data, relevant for drug discovery, a spam data...
متن کاملEfficiency Comparison of Unstable Transductive and Inductive Conformal Classifiers
In the conformal prediction literature, it appears axiomatic that transductive conformal classifiers possess a higher predictive efficiency than inductive conformal classifiers, however, this depends on whether or not the nonconformity function tends to overfit misclassified test examples. With the conformal prediction framework’s increasing popularity, it thus becomes necessary to clarify the ...
متن کاملExcape WP1. Conformal Predictors
The report summarises some preliminary findings of WP1.4: Confidence Estimation and feature significance. It presents an application of conformal predictors in transductive and inductive modes to the large, high-dimensional, sparse and imbalanced data sets found in Compound Activity Prediction from PubChem public repository. The report describes a version of conformal predictors called Mondrian...
متن کاملRegression Conformal Prediction with Nearest Neighbours
In this paper we apply Conformal Prediction (CP) to the k -Nearest Neighbours Regression (k -NNR) algorithm and propose ways of extending the typical nonconformity measure used for regression so far. Unlike traditional regression methods which produce point predictions, Conformal Predictors output predictive regions that satisfy a given confidence level. The regions produced by any Conformal Pr...
