Confident Feature Ranking
Machine learning models are widely applied in various fields. Stakeholders often use post-hoc feature importance methods to better understand the input features' contribution to the models' predictions. The interpretation of the importance values provided by these methods is frequently based on the relative order of the features (their ranking) rather than the importance values themselves. Since the order may be unstable, we present a framework for quantifying the uncertainty in global importance values. We propose a novel method for the post-hoc interpretation of feature importance values that is based on the framework and pairwise comparisons of the feature importance values. This method produces simultaneous confidence intervals for the features' ranks, which include the ``true'' (infinite sample) ranks with high probability, and enables the selection of the set of the top-k important features.

Confident Rankings with Fewer Items: Adaptive LLM Evaluation with Continuous Scores
Computerized Adaptive Testing (CAT) has proven effective for efficient LLM evaluation on multiple-choice benchmarks, but modern LLM evaluation increasingly relies on generation tasks where outputs are scored continuously…
Fuzzy Jaccard Index: A robust comparison of ordered lists
We propose Fuzzy Jaccard Index (FUJI) -- a scale-invariant score for assessment of the similarity between two ranked/ordered lists. FUJI improves upon the Jaccard index by incorporating a membership function which takes …
