Conformal Prediction for Classification
This chapter dives deeper into the topic of conformal prediction for classification problems. We will explore the concept of classifier calibration and demonstrate how conformal prediction compares to other calibration methods before introducing Venn-ABERS predictors as specialized techniques within conformal prediction. Additionally, we will provide an overview of open source tools that can be utilized to implement conformal prediction for classifier calibration.
We will cover the following topics in this chapter:
- Classifier calibration
- Evaluating calibration performance
- Various approaches to classifier calibration
- Conformal prediction for classifier calibration
- Open source tools for conformal prediction in classification problems
