This is the official implementation of the paper How To Trust Your Diffusion Model: A Convex Optimization Approach to Conformal Risk Control @ ICML 2023

by Jacopo Teneggi, Matt Tivnan, J Webster Stayman, and Jeremias Sulam.


KK-RCPS is a high-dimensional extension of the Risk Controlling Prediction Sets (RCPS) procedure that provably minimizes the mean interval length by means of a convex relaxation.

It is based on γ\ell^{\gamma}: a convex upper-bound to the $01lossloss\ell^{01}$

Demo

The demo is included in the demo.ipynb notebook. It showcases how to use the KK-RCPS calibration procedure on dummy data.

which reduces the mean interval length compared to RCPS on the same data by 9\approx 9%.

Reproducibility

All model checkpoints are available on Zenodo alongside the perturbed images used in the paper. checkpoints.zip and denoising.zip should both be unzipped in the experiments folder.
