תקציר	Conformal Prediction is a distribution-free framework for constructing statistically valid prediction sets (for classification) or prediction intervals (for regression) around the output of any pre-trained machine learning model. Introduced by Vovk, Gammerman, and Shafer in their 2005 monograph, it provides a finite-sample marginal coverage guarantee — the true label falls inside the prediction set with at least 1-alpha probability — without requiring parametric assumptions about the data distribution.	Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) is a computational framework for systematically measuring how uncertainty in the inputs of a model propagates into uncertainty in its outputs. Building on Wiener's polynomial chaos theory (1938) and formalised for general stochastic problems by Xiu and Karniadakis (2002), UQ uses two primary strategies: Polynomial Chaos Expansion (PCE), which represents the model output as a series of orthogonal polynomials matched to the input distributions, and Kriging (Gaussian process) surrogates, which replace an expensive simulation with a fast statistical approximation fitted to a small set of carefully chosen runs.
