Selective Prediction from Agreement: A Lipschitz-Consistent Version Space Approach
We consider selective classification with abstention in the fixed-pool (or transductive) setting, where the unlabeled pool is given beforehand and only a subset of points can be queried for labels. Our main insight is to view selective prediction through agreement: given queried labels and Lipschitz margin constraints in an embedding space, the version space of Lipschitz-consistent classification heads is well defined. We obtain upper and lower Lipschitz margin bounds that define, for each pool point, a set of certified valid labels containing the prediction of every head in the version space. The model therefore predicts only when the label is forced (i.e., all consistent heads agree), and abstains otherwise. We also propose a monotone submodular geometric proxy for budgeted querying, and show that a greedy algorithm retains the standard approximation factor.

Selective Ensembles for Consistent Predictions
Recent work has shown that models trained to the same objective, and which achieve similar measures of accuracy on consistent test data, may nonetheless behave very differently on individual predictions. This inconsisten…

A selective classifier (f,g) comprises a classification function f and a binary selection function g, which determines if the classifier abstains from prediction, or uses f to predict. The classifier is called pointwise-…
