• Abstract summary: characterization reveals that sensitivity to each type of shift is important to the detection and confidence calibration of OOD data. We propose a geometrically-inspired method to improve OOD detection under both shifts with only in-distribution data. We are the first to propose a method that works well across both OOD detection and calibration and under different types of shifts.

• Abstract: Moving beyond testing on in-distribution data works on Out-of-Distribution (OOD) detection have recently increased in popularity. A recent attempt to categorize OOD data introduces the concept of near and far OOD detection. Specifically, prior works define characteristics of OOD data in terms of detection difficulty. We propose to characterize the spectrum of OOD data using two types of distribution shifts: covariate shift and concept shift, where covariate shift corresponds to change in style, e.g., noise, and concept shift indicates a change in semantics. This characterization reveals that sensitivity to each type of shift is important to the detection and confidence calibration of OOD data. Consequently, we investigate score functions that capture sensitivity to each type of dataset shift and methods that improve them. To this end, we theoretically derive two score functions for OOD detection, the covariate shift score and concept shift score, based on the decomposition of KL-divergence for both scores, and propose a geometrically-inspired method (Geometric ODIN) to improve OOD detection under both shifts with only in-distribution data. Additionally, the proposed method naturally leads to an expressive post-hoc calibration function which yields state-of-the-art calibration performance on both in-distribution and out-of-distribution data. We are the first to propose a method that works well across both OOD detection and calibration and under different types of shifts. Specifically, we improve the previous state-of-the-art OOD detection by relatively 7% AUROC on CIFAR100 vs. SVHN and achieve the best calibration performance of 0.084 Expected Calibration Error on the corrupted CIFAR100C dataset.

  Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is crucial for deploying reliable machine learning models in open-world applications. Recent advances in CLIP-based OOD detection have shown promising results via regularizing prompt tuning with OOD features extracted from ID data. We propose a novel framework, namely, Self-Calibrated Tuning (SCT), to mitigate this problem for effective OOD detection with only the given few-shot ID data.

  Unsupervised out-of-distribution (U-OOD) detection is to identify data samples with a detector trained solely on unlabeled in-distribution (ID) data. Recent studies have developed various detectors based on DGMs to move beyond likelihood. We apply two techniques for each direction, specifically post-hoc prior and dataset entropy-mutual calibration. Experimental results demonstrate that the Resultant could be a new state-of-the-art U-OOD detector.

  Most existing out-of-distribution (OOD) detection benchmarks classify samples with novel labels as the OOD data. Some marginal OOD samples actually have close semantic contents to the in-distribution (ID) sample, which makes determining the OOD sample a Sorites Paradox. We construct a benchmark named Incremental Shift OOD (IS-OOD) to address the issue.
