📰 Excited to share our new work on risk control in prediction! Multiple testing leads to practical calibration algorithms with PAC guarantees for any statistical error rate. Works with any model + data distribution!

Thrilled to share Learn then Test, a tool to calibrate any model to control risk (eg. IOU, recall in object detection). No assns on model/data.

Data sets are often partly made up of machine-learning outputs. E.g., we take satellite images and then use algs to label forests, roads, etc.

How can we do statistical analysis with ML outputs?

We extend Prediction-Powered Inference to arbitrary patterns of ML imputations👇
