Title: ConformaDecompose: Explaining Uncertainty via Calibration Localization

Abstract:
arXiv:2604.27149v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Conformal Prediction provides distribution-free prediction intervals with guaranteed coverage, but its reliance on a single global calibration threshold obscures the sources of uncertainty at the instance level. In particular, it conflates irreducible noise with uncertainty induced by heterogeneous training data (aleatoric), model limitations, or calibration mismatch (epistemic), offering little insight into why an interval is wide or whether it
