• Abstract summary: Machine learning (ML) systems often encounter Out-of-Distribution (OoD) errors when dealing with testing data coming from a distribution different from training data. Existing OoD detection approaches are prone to errors and even sometimes assign higher likelihoods to OoD samples. We propose Neural Architecture Distribution Search (NADS) to identify common building blocks among all uncertainty-aware architectures.

• Abstract: Machine learning (ML) systems often encounter Out-of-Distribution (OoD) errors when dealing with testing data coming from a distribution different from training data. It becomes important for ML systems in critical applications to accurately quantify its predictive uncertainty and screen out these anomalous inputs. However, existing OoD detection approaches are prone to errors and even sometimes assign higher likelihoods to OoD samples. Unlike standard learning tasks, there is currently no well established guiding principle for designing OoD detection architectures that can accurately quantify uncertainty. To address these problems, we first seek to identify guiding principles for designing uncertainty-aware architectures, by proposing Neural Architecture Distribution Search (NADS). NADS searches for a distribution of architectures that perform well on a given task, allowing us to identify common building blocks among all uncertainty-aware architectures. With this formulation, we are able to optimize a stochastic OoD detection objective and construct an ensemble of models to perform OoD detection. We perform multiple OoD detection experiments and observe that our NADS performs favorably, with up to 57% improvement in accuracy compared to state-of-the-art methods among 15 different testing configurations.

  We focus on multi-modal anomaly detection. Specifically, we investigate early multi-modal approaches that attempted to utilize models pre-trained on large-scale visual datasets. We propose a Local-to-global Self-supervised Feature Adaptation (LSFA) method to finetune the adaptors and learn task-oriented representation toward anomaly detection.

We demonstrate the feasibility of this framework for two tasks - forecasting from historical data and flow reconstruction from sparse sensors for the sea-surface temperature.

  We introduce a new perceptron bias assumption that suggests discriminator models are more sensitive to certain features of the input, leading to the overconfidence problem. We demonstrate that the diffusion denoising process (DDP) of DMs serves as a novel form of asymmetric, which is well-suited to enhance the input and mitigate the overconfidence problem. Our experiments on CIFAR10, CIFAR100, and ImageNet show that our method outperforms SOTA approaches.

  Deep neural networks (DNNs) are known to produce incorrect predictions with very high confidence on out-of-distribution inputs (OODs) This limitation is one of the key challenges in the adoption of DNNs in high-assurance systems such as autonomous driving, air traffic management, and medical diagnosis. Several techniques have been developed to detect inputs where the model's prediction cannot be trusted. We demonstrate the difference in the detection ability of these techniques and propose an ensemble approach for detection of OODs as datapoints with high uncertainty (epistemic or aleatoric)
