Practical overview
When it fits
Use it when you want to examine conformal prediction on concrete machine-learning tasks without downloading or running the original models. Choose the relevant notebook to explore its method and expected output.
Who it is for
- Machine-learning practitioners exploring uncertainty estimates for predictions
- Researchers and students studying conformal prediction through task-based notebook examples
- Notebook users adapting existing examples to experiment with conformal methods
Documented uses
- Explore prediction sets for image classification and multilabel classification.
- Study prediction intervals for regression and time-series forecasting.
- Examine conformal outlier detection, image segmentation and selective classification examples.
- Use example notebooks as templates for developing or testing conformal prediction methods.
Requirements & limits
The repository is public and released under the MIT license. It documents Google Colab links in the top cell of each notebook and local Conda setup.
- Notebook examples download sample data and precomputed model outputs automatically.
- Local setup requires Conda and 1.5 GB of storage for downloaded data.
- The original machine-learning models are not run by the notebooks.
- Examples include image classification, medical expenditure regression, multilabel classification, text outlier detection, tumor segmentation, time-series forecasting under distribution shift and selective classification.
Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
Set up the notebooks locally
Prepare a local Conda environment and Jupyter notebook for running the repository's examples.
Before you start
- The repository and its notebook files
- Conda
- 1.5 GB of disk space for automatically downloaded data
Steps
Create the environment with
conda env create -f environment.yml.Open a notebook in Jupyter and activate the
conformalenvironment if a dependency error occurs.Run all notebook cells; required data and model outputs are downloaded automatically.
Expected outcome
A locally prepared notebook that can run an example using downloaded sample data and precomputed model outputs.
Guide limitations
- The documented storage requirement is 1.5 GB.
- The notebooks use precomputed model outputs and do not run the original models.
