Distributionally robust optimization (DRO) protects decisions against distributional uncertainty by optimizing over an ambiguity set, but poorly aligned set geometry can require large radii and yield overly conservative decisions. We introduce diagnostic-transport DRO (DT-DRO), which uses held-out calibration data to a...

Conformal-DRO is proposed, which uses nested conformal regions to construct an ambiguity set for the future latent law, which covers this law with probability at least $1-\alpha$ in finite samples, without estimating underlying latent laws or their mixing mechanism.
A decision-aware conformal framework that learns uncertainty sets tailored to robust optimization objectives by directly minimizing the induced robust loss, while preserving statistical validity through conformal calibration is proposed.
