LOCUS: A Distribution-Free Loss-Quantile Score for Risk-Aware Predictions

Modern machine learning models can be accurate on average yet still make mistakes that dominate deployment cost. We introduce Locus, a distribution-free wrapper that produces a per-input loss-scale...

We introduce Locus, a distribution-free wrapper that produces a per-input loss-scale reliability score for a fixed prediction function. Rather than quantifying uncertainty about the label, Locus models the realized loss of the prediction function using any engine that outputs a predictive distribution for the loss given an input.
