Cluster Frequency Conformal Prediction for Local Coverage

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2605.24872v1 Announce Type: new Conformal prediction provides distribution-free coverage guarantees, but in many-class classification it may still under-cover specific classes or subpopulations, preventing safe deployment in high-stakes applications. We propose Cluster Frequency Conformal Prediction (CFCP), a plug-in framework that adapts conformal prediction to local structure in a learned representation space.
