About this paper

Lidor Rubi, Gilad Katz

SelPI combines regression estimates, intervals, and learned abstention in one system. It uses two jointly trained gates: one detects likely interval misses, and another identifies poorly placed point estimates when intervals capture targets. Across 18 tabular datasets, its single-gate selector beats width thresholding on interval score, with median selection efficiency 0.87. This benchmark result does not provide a finite-sample coverage guarantee for accepted predictions, and gains are smaller on near-deterministic tasks.
