Multi-class Classification with Reject Option and Performance Guarantees using Conformal Prediction	Proceedings of the Thirteenth Symposium on Conformal and Probabilistic Prediction with Applications	2024	230	Proceedings of Machine Learning Research	0	PMLR	https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mlresearch/v230/main/assets/garcia-galindo24a/garcia-galindo24a.pdf	https://proceedings.mlr.press/v230/garcia24a.html	Beyond the standard classification scenario, allowing a classifier to refrain from making a prediction under uncertainty can have advantages in safety-critical applications, where a mistake may hold great costs. In this paper, we extend previous works on the development of classifiers with reject option grounded on the conformal prediction framework. Specifically, our work introduces a novel approach for inducing multi-class classifiers with reliable accuracy or recall estimates for a given rejection rate. We empirically evaluate our suggested approach in six multi-class datasets and demonstrate its effectiveness against both calibrated and uncalibrated probabilistic classifiers. The results underscore our method’s capability to provide reliable error rate estimates, thereby enhancing decision-making processes where erroneous predictions bear critical consequences.	inproceedings	2640-3498	garcia-galindo24a	Multi-class Classification with Reject Option and Performance Guarantees using Conformal Prediction	295	314	295-314	295	false	Vantini, Simone and Fontana, Matteo and Solari, Aldo and Bostr\"{o}m, Henrik and Carlsson, Lars	given family Simone Vantini given family Matteo Fontana given family Aldo Solari given family Henrik Boström given family Lars Carlsson	Garc\'ia-Galindo, Alberto and L\'opez-De-Castro, Marcos and Arma\~nanzas, Rub\'en	given family Alberto García-Galindo given family Marcos López-De-Castro given family Rubén Armañanzas	2024-09-10		Proceedings of the Thirteenth Symposium on Conformal and Probabilistic Prediction with Applications	inproceedings	date-parts 2024 9 10
