• Abstract: Several density estimation methods have shown to fail to detect out-of-distribution (OOD) samples by assigning higher likelihoods to anomalous data. Energy-based models (EBMs) are flexible, unnormalized density models which seem to be able to improve upon this failure mode. In this work, we provide an extensive study investigating OOD detection with EBMs trained with different approaches on tabular and image data and find that EBMs do not provide consistent advantages. We hypothesize that EBMs do not learn semantic features despite their discriminative structure similar to Normalizing Flows. To verify this hypotheses, we show that supervision and architectural restrictions improve the OOD detection of EBMs independent of the training approach.

  We present a new method of training energy-based models (EBMs) for anomaly detection that leverages low-dimensional structures within data. The proposed algorithm, Manifold Projection-Diffusion Recovery (MPDR), first perturbs a data point along a low-dimensional manifold that approximates the training dataset. Experimental results show that MPDR exhibits strong performance across various anomaly detection tasks involving diverse data types.

  Training energy-based models (EBMs) on high-dimensional data can be both challenging and time-consuming. There exists a noticeable gap in sample quality between EBMs and other generative frameworks like GANs and diffusion models. We propose cooperative diffusion recovery likelihood (CDRL), an effective approach to tractably learn and sample from a series of EBMs.

  Energy-based models (EBMs) are versatile density estimation models that directly parameterize an unnormalized log density. We propose a new maximum likelihood training algorithm for EBMs that uses a different type of generative model, normalizing flows (NF) Our method fits an NF to an EBM during training so that an NF-assisted sampling scheme provides an accurate gradient for the EBMs at all times.

• Plugin estimators for selective classification with out-of-distribution detection [67.28226919253214]
  Real-world classifiers can benefit from abstaining from predicting on samples where they have low confidence. These settings have been the subject of extensive but disjoint study in the selective classification (SC) and out-of-distribution (OOD) detection literature. Recent work on selective classification with OOD detection has argued for the unified study of these problems. We propose new plugin estimators for SCOD that are theoretically grounded, effective, and generalise existing approaches.

• Master's Thesis: Out-of-distribution Detection with Energy-based Models [0.0]
  Deep learning is increasingly applied in security-critical situations such as autonomous driving and medical diagnosis. Researchers recently found that neural networks are overly confident in their predictions, even on data they have never seen before. In this thesis, we investigate the capabilities of EBMs at the task of fitting the training data distribution to perform detection of out-of-distribution (OOD) inputs.

  We prove that no method can guarantee performance beyond random chance without assumptions on which out-distributions are relevant. We highlight the consequences implied by assuming support overlap between in- and out-distributions. Our results suggest that estimation error is a more plausible explanation than the misalignment between likelihood-based OOD detection and out-distributions of interest.

  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.
