In this work, we study some novel applications of conformal inference techniques to the problem of providing machine learning procedures with more transparent, accurate, and practical performance guarantees. We provide a natural extension of the traditional conformal prediction framework, done in such a way that we can make valid and well-calibrated predictive statements about the future performance of arbitrary learning algorithms, when passed an as-yet unseen training set. In addition, we include some nascent empirical examples to illustrate potential applications.
