Aggregation in conformal e-classification

Machine Learning 2026-05-11 v1

Abstract

Aggregating conformal predictors is a standard way of balancing their predictive and computational efficiency while retaining their validity, at least approximately. An important advantage of conformal e-predictors is that they are easier to aggregate without sacrificing their validity. This paper studies experimentally cross-conformal e-prediction, which is an existing method of aggregating conformal e-predictors, and its modifications that are conceptually simpler and more flexible.
