Conformal Risk-Averse Decision Making with Optimized Certainty Equivalent Risk Control

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 28, 2026 · UTC

We study risk-averse decision making, in which an agent selects actions while being uncertain about the true system state. The risk is measured via optimized certainty equivalent (OCE) metrics, which generalize popular criteria such as mean-variance risk and conditional value-at-risk (CVaR). We characterize the optimal policy under known distributions, and show that it reduces to a prediction set-based solution for the CVaR. This provides an operational interpretation of conformal prediction-type prediction sets. For unknown distributions, we develop a data-driven calibration strategy, based o
