Ensemble learning with Conformal Predictors: Targeting credible predictions of conversion from Mild Cognitive Impairment to Alzheimer's Disease
Most machine learning classifiers give predictions for new examples accurately, yet without indicating how trustworthy predictions are. In the medical domain, this hampers their integration in decision support systems, which could be useful in the clinical practice. We use a supervised learning approach that combines Ensemble learning with Conformal Predictors to predict conversion from Mild Cognitive Impairment to Alzheimer's Disease. Our goal is to enhance the classification performance (Ensemble learning) and complement each prediction with a measure of credibility (Conformal Predictors). Our results showed the superiority of the proposed approach over a similar ensemble framework with standard classifiers.

Reliable Prediction Errors for Deep Neural Networks Using Test-Time Dropout
While the use of deep learning in drug discovery is gaining increasing attention, the lack of methods to compute reliable errors in prediction for Neural Networks prevents their application to guide decision making in do…

Gradient-boosted decision trees are among the strongest off-the-shelf predictors for tabular regression, but point predictions alone do not quantify uncertainty. Conformal prediction provides distribution-free marginal c…
Test-time Recalibration of Conformal Predictors Under Distribution Shift Based on Unlabeled Examples
Modern image classifiers are very accurate, but the predictions come without uncertainty estimates. Conformal predictors provide uncertainty estimates by computing a set of classes containing the correct class with a use…
