Joint Model and Data Sparsification via the Marginal Likelihood

ICML 2026poster

Sparse recovery in linear systems underpins applications from signal processing to high-dimensional regression. Sparse Bayesian Learning, grounded in the principle of automatic relevance determination (ARD), offers a practical Bayesian mechanism for feature sparsity via marginal likelihood optimizat…

CP$^2$: Leveraging Geometry for Conformal Prediction via Canonicalization

UAI 2025

We study the problem of *conformal prediction* (CP) under geometric data shifts, where data samples are susceptible to transformations such as rotations or flips. While CP endows prediction models with *post-hoc* uncertainty quantification and formal coverage guarantees, their practicality breaks un

Max-Rank: Efficient Multiple Testing for Conformal Prediction

AISTATS 2025poster

Multiple hypothesis testing (MHT) frequently arises in scientific inquiries, and concurrent testing of multiple hypotheses inflates the risk of Type-I errors or false positives, rendering MHT corrections essential. This paper addresses MHT in the context of conformal prediction, a flexible framework…

On Continuous Monitoring of Risk Violations under Unknown Shift

UAI 2025

Machine learning systems deployed in the real world must operate under dynamic and often unpredictable distribution shifts. This challenges the validity of statistical safety assurances on the system’s risk established beforehand. Common risk control frameworks rely on fixed assumptions and lack mec

Fast yet Safe: Early-Exiting with Risk Control

NeurIPS 2024poster

Scaling machine learning models significantly improves their performance. However, such gains come at the cost of inference being slow and resource-intensive. Early-exit neural networks (EENNs) offer a promising solution: they accelerate inference by allowing intermediate layers to exit and produc…
