Types of Conformal Predictors

This chapter describes different families of conformal predictors, exploring various approaches to quantifying uncertainty. Through practical examples, we provide an intermediate-level understanding of these techniques and how they can be applied to real-world situations.

Here are examples of how companies are using conformal prediction.

At a high-profile AI developer conference called GTC 2023 (https://www.nvidia.com/gtc/), Bill Dally, NVIDIA’s chief scientist and SVP of research, offered insights into one of NVIDIA’s R&D primary focuses, which is in conformal prediction (https://www.hpcwire.com/2023/03/28/whats-stirring-in-nvidias-rd-lab-chief-scientist-bill-dally-provides-a-peek/).
