Uniting Statistical Testing and Machine Learning for Safe Predictions Recent breakthroughs in machine learning (ML) have brought about a transformative impact on decision-making, autonomous systems, medical diagnosis, and creation of new scientific knowledge. However, this progress has a major drawback: modern predictive systems are extremely complex and hard to interpret, a problem known as the black-box effect. The opaque nature of modern ML models, trained on increasingly diverse, incomplete, and noisy data, and later deployed in varying environments, hinders our ability to comprehend what drives inaccurate predictions, biased outcomes, and test time failures. Perhaps the most pressing question of our times is this: can we trust the predictions for future unseen instances obtained by black-box systems? The lack of practical guarantees on the limits of predictive performance poses a significant obstacle to deploying
