We introduce a strictly proper censoring-adjusted separable scoring rule that can be optimized on a subpart of the data.
Compared to 11 state-of-the-art models, this model, MultiIncidence, performs best in estimating the probability of outcomes in survival and competing risks.

- Abstract: When data are right-censored, i.e. some outcomes are missing due to a limited period of observation, survival analysis can compute the "time to event". Multiple classes of outcomes lead to a classification variant: predicting the most likely event, known as competing risks, which has been less studied. To build a loss that estimates outcome probabilities for such settings, we introduce a strictly proper censoring-adjusted separable scoring rule that can be optimized on a subpart of the data because the evaluation is made independently of observations. It enables stochastic optimization for competing risks which we use to train gradient boosting trees. Compared to 11 state-of-the-art models, this model, MultiIncidence, performs best in estimating the probability of outcomes in survival and competing risks. It can predict at any time horizon and is much faster than existing alternatives.

Classification with rejection emerges as a learning paradigm which allows models to abstain from making predictions.
We propose a different distributional perspective, where we seek to find an idealized data distribution which maximizes a pretrained model's performance.
Our framework is tested empirically over clean and noisy datasets.

Cascades are a classical strategy to enable inference cost to vary adaptively across samples.
A deferral rule determines whether to invoke the next classifier in the sequence, or to terminate prediction.
Despite being oblivious to the structure of the cascade, confidence-based deferral often works remarkably well in practice.

AUR consists of a new uncertainty estimator along with a normal recommender model.
As the chance of mislabeling reflects the potential of a pair, AUR makes recommendations according to the uncertainty.

Uncertainty is the only certainty there is.
Traditionally, the direct regression formulation is considered and the uncertainty is modeled by modifying the output space to a certain family of probabilistic distributions.
How to model the uncertainty within the present-day technologies for regression remains an open issue.
