Improving screening processes via calibrated subset selection

L Wang, T Joachims… - … Conference on Machine …, 2022 - proceedings.mlr.press
Many selection processes such as finding patients qualifying for a medical trial or retrieval
pipelines in search engines consist of multiple stages, where an initial screening stage …

Conformal prediction sets improve human decision making

JC Cresswell, Y Sui, B Kumar, N Vouitsis - arXiv preprint arXiv:2401.13744, 2024 - arxiv.org
In response to everyday queries, humans explicitly signal uncertainty and offer alternative
answers when they are unsure. Machine learning models that output calibrated prediction …
