Using learning algorithms to make consequential decisions in science and medicine requires a precise understanding of the uncertainty of the algorithms’ outputs. In this talk, we introduce tools for rigorous statistical inference with machine learning systems. The techniques yield confidence intervals, p-values, and other notions of statistical error control that are valid with no assumptions on the (unknown) data-generating distribution or the machine learning model. This allows researchers to leverage sophisticated machine-learning systems to draw reliable conclusions from data. We demonstrate the proposed techniques in imaging and proteomics applications.
