• Abstract: In order to safely deploy Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) within the perception pipelines of real-time decision making systems, there is a need for safeguards that can detect out-of-training-distribution (OoD) inputs both efficiently and accurately. Building on recent work leveraging the local curvature of DNNs to reason about epistemic uncertainty, we propose Sketching Curvature of OoD Detection (SCOD), an architecture-agnostic framework for equipping any trained DNN with a task-relevant epistemic uncertainty estimate. Offline, given a trained model and its training data, SCOD employs tools from matrix sketching to tractably compute a low-rank approximation of the Fisher information matrix, which characterizes which directions in the weight space are most influential on the predictions over the training data. Online, we estimate uncertainty by measuring how much perturbations orthogonal to these directions can alter predictions at a new test input. We apply SCOD to pre-trained networks of varying architectures on several tasks, ranging from regression to classification. We demonstrate that SCOD achieves comparable or better OoD detection performance with lower computational burden relative to existing baselines.

Inspired by Bayesian approaches, we extend the model architecture to perform online adaptation to per-flow and per-time-step statistics.

  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.

  Inference accuracy of deep neural networks (DNNs) is a crucial performance metric, but can vary greatly in practice subject to actual test datasets. This has raised significant concerns with trustworthiness of DNNs, especially in safety-critical applications. We propose a neural network-based accuracy monitor model, which only takes the deployed DNN's softmax probability output as its input.
