• Abstract: Neural-network classifiers achieve high accuracy when predicting the class of an input that they were trained to identify. Maintaining this accuracy in dynamic environments, where inputs frequently fall outside the fixed set of initially known classes, remains a challenge. The typical approach is to detect inputs from novel classes and retrain the classifier on an augmented dataset. However, not only the classifier but also the detection mechanism needs to adapt in order to distinguish between newly learned and yet unknown input classes. To address this challenge, we introduce an algorithmic framework for active monitoring of a neural network. A monitor wrapped in our framework operates in parallel with the neural network and interacts with a human user via a series of interpretable labeling queries for incremental adaptation. In addition, we propose an adaptive quantitative monitor to improve precision. An experimental evaluation on a diverse set of benchmarks with varying numbers of classes confirms the benefits of our active monitoring framework in dynamic scenarios.

• Learning a Neural Association Network for Self-supervised Multi-Object Tracking [34.07776597698471]
  This paper introduces a novel framework to learn data association for multi-object tracking in a self-supervised manner. Motivated by the fact that in real-world scenarios object motion can be usually represented by a Markov process, we present a novel expectation (EM) algorithm that trains a neural network to associate detections for tracking. We evaluate our approach on the challenging MOT17 and MOT20 datasets and achieve state-of-the-art results in comparison to self-supervised trackers.

• Activate and Reject: Towards Safe Domain Generalization under Category Shift [71.95548187205736]
  We study a practical problem of Domain Generalization under Category Shift (DGCS) It aims to simultaneously detect unknown-class samples and classify known-class samples in the target domains. Compared to prior DG works, we face two new challenges: 1) how to learn the concept of unknown'' during training with only source known-class samples, and 2) how to adapt the source-trained model to unseen environments.

• Adversarial Sample Detection Through Neural Network Transport Dynamics [18.08752807817708]
  We propose a detector of adversarial samples based on the view of neural networks as discrete dynamic systems. The detector tells clean inputs from abnormal ones by comparing the discrete vector fields they follow through the layers. We show that regularizing this vector field during training makes the network more regular on the data distribution's support.
