Class-Conditional Conformal Prediction with Uncertainty-Triggered Selective Explainability for High Stakes Imbalanced Tabular Decisions

September 7, 2026September 7, 2026MSI PUBLISHERS

Authors: Pham Manh Trung Nguyen Abstract: Machine learning models deployed in high-stakes clinical and financial decision-making conventionally output uncalibrated point predictions and soft probabilities that exhibit unwarranted overconfidence. When applied to severely imbalanced tabular distributions—such as acute stroke events or rare cardiovascular disorders—traditional classification objectives incentivize models to minimize global risk by predicting the dominant […]
