• Abstract summary: We propose a new technique to quantify the epistemic uncertainty of data easily. This method consists in mixing the predictions of an ensemble of DNNs trained to classify One class vs All the other classes (OVA) with predictions from a standard DNN trained to perform All vs All (AVA) classification.

• Abstract: Deep neural networks (DNNs) are powerful learning models yet their results are not always reliable. This is due to the fact that modern DNNs are usually uncalibrated and we cannot characterize their epistemic uncertainty. In this work, we propose a new technique to quantify the epistemic uncertainty of data easily. This method consists in mixing the predictions of an ensemble of DNNs trained to classify One class vs All the other classes (OVA) with predictions from a standard DNN trained to perform All vs All (AVA) classification. On the one hand, the adjustment provided by the AVA DNN to the score of the base classifiers allows for a more fine-grained inter-class separation. On the other hand, the two types of classifiers enforce mutually their detection of out-of-distribution (OOD) samples, circumventing entirely the requirement of using such samples during training. Our method achieves state of the art performance in quantifying OOD data across multiple datasets and architectures while requiring little hyper-parameter tuning.

  Recently discovered Neural collapse (NC) phenomenon states that the last-layer weights of Deep Neural Networks converge to the so-called Equiangular Tight Frame (ETF) simplex, at the terminal phase of their training. Inspired by NC properties, we explore in this paper the transferability of DNN models trained with their last layer weight fixed according to ETF.

  neural network predictions tend to be unpredictable and overconfident when faced with out-of-distribution (OOD) inputs. We observe that neural network predictions often tend towards a constant value as input data becomes increasingly OOD. We show how one can leverage our insights in practice to enable risk-sensitive decision-making in the presence of OOD inputs.

  Deep neural networks (DNNs) have been widely applied in various domains in artificial intelligence. In this paper, we study how many test (unseen) samples that a DNN misclassifies in the last epoch were ever correctly classified. We propose to restrict the behavior changes of a DNN on the correctly-classified samples so that the correct local boundaries can be maintained.

  k-NN is a lazy learning method that aggregates the distance between the test image and top-k neighbors in a training set. We adopt k-NN with pre-trained visual representations produced by either supervised or self-supervised methods in two steps. Via extensive experiments on a wide range of classification tasks, our study reveals the generality and flexibility of k-NN integration.

• Self-Competitive Neural Networks [0.0]
  Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have improved the accuracy of classification problems in lots of applications. One of the challenges in training a DNN is its need to be fed by an enriched dataset to increase its accuracy and avoid it suffering from overfitting. Recently, researchers have worked extensively to propose methods for data augmentation. In this paper, we generate adversarial samples to refine the Domains of Attraction (DoAs) of each class. In this approach, at each stage, we use the model learned by the primary and generated adversarial data (up to that stage) to manipulate the primary data in a way that look complicated to
