Structure-Aware Graph Abstention for Reliable Selective Forecasting

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.08322v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Selective forecasting abstains on high-risk test windows under a retained-coverage budget. Existing gates such as TEM (Brusokas et al., 2025) score each forecast as a whole; for multivariate outputs, trajectories can look plausible while violating dependencies among variables. We treat instance-level plausibility and relational consistency as distinct reliability axes and operationalize the latter via a learned sparse graph and a Dirichlet-style st
