• Abstract: Detecting latent structure within a dataset is a crucial step in performing analysis of a dataset. However, existing state-of-the-art techniques for subclass discovery are limited: either they are limited to detecting very small numbers of outliers or they lack the statistical power to deal with complex data such as image or audio. This paper proposes a solution to this subclass discovery problem: by leveraging instance explanation methods, an existing classifier can be extended to detect latent classes via differences in the classifier's internal decisions about each instance. This works not only with simple classification techniques but also with deep neural networks, allowing for a powerful and flexible approach to detecting latent structure within datasets. Effectively, this represents a projection of the dataset into the classifier's "explanation space," and preliminary results show that this technique outperforms the baseline for the detection of latent classes even with limited processing. This paper also contains a pipeline for analyzing classifiers automatically, and a web application for interactively exploring the results from this technique.

  In open-set scenarios, the unlabeled dataset contains both in-distribution (ID) classes and out-of-distribution (OOD) classes. Applying semi-supervised detectors in such settings can lead to misclassifying OOD class as ID classes. We propose a simple yet effective method, termed Collaborative Feature-Logits Detector (CFL-Detector)

  Anomaly detection algorithms for feature-vector data identify anomalies as outliers, but outlier detection has not worked well in deep learning. This paper proposes the Familiarity Hypothesis that these methods succeed because they are detecting the absence of familiar learned features rather than the presence of novelty. The paper concludes with a discussion of whether familiarity detection is an inevitable consequence of representation learning.
