 +Conformal predictions uses past experience to determine precise
 +levels of confidence in new predictions. Given an error probability ε,
 +together with a method that makes a prediction of the label y, it produces
 +a set of labels that contains y with probability 1 − ε. Conformal
 +prediction can be applied to any method which make predictions, for
 +instance, nearest-neighbor method, support-vector machine, ridge
 +regression, etc. In this talk, the speaker will give a brief introduction
 +to Conformal prediction and give several examples.
