Dear SIPTians,

For those of you who are interested in the relationship between Machine Learning and IPs, I'll be giving a talk tomorrow at 12 noon EST. You can find the zoom link in the forwarded email below. Hope to see you there!

Yours,

Michele

ABSTRACT

In this talk, I will present Imprecise Probabilities (IPs), from their historic philosophical motivations to their applications to frequentist and Bayesian statistics. In turn, I will explore how the statistical approaches to IPs allowed to start the field of Imprecise Probabilistic Machine Learning, and why such a field is of paramount importance in modern ML. I will provide plenty of references, together with some new results on the comparison between Conformal Prediction and Imprecise Probabilistic Machine Learning, and how the latter can be used to derive regions that are narrower than the conformal ones, while retaining the same probabilistic guarantees.
