• Abstract summary: Machine learning methods such as deep neural networks (DNNs) often generate incorrect predictions with high confidence. We propose the new method iDECODe, leveraging in-distribution equivariance for conformal OOD detection. We demonstrate the efficacy of iDECODe by experiments on image and audio datasets, obtaining state-of-the-art results.

• Abstract: Machine learning methods such as deep neural networks (DNNs), despite their success across different domains, are known to often generate incorrect predictions with high confidence on inputs outside their training distribution. The deployment of DNNs in safety-critical domains requires detection of out-of-distribution (OOD) data so that DNNs can abstain from making predictions on those. A number of methods have been recently developed for OOD detection, but there is still room for improvement. We propose the new method iDECODe, leveraging in-distribution equivariance for conformal OOD detection. It relies on a novel base non-conformity measure and a new aggregation method, used in the inductive conformal anomaly detection framework, thereby guaranteeing a bounded false detection rate. We demonstrate the efficacy of iDECODe by experiments on image and audio datasets, obtaining state-of-the-art results. We also show that iDECODe can detect adversarial examples.

  The goal of this paper is to recognize common objectives as well as to identify the implicit scoring functions of different OOD detection methods. We show that binary discrimination between in- and (different) out-distributions is equivalent to several distinct formulations of the OOD detection problem. We also show that the confidence loss which is used by Outlier Exposure has an implicit scoring function which differs in a non-trivial fashion from the theoretically optimal scoring function.

  Out-of-distribution detection is an important capability that has long eluded vanilla neural networks. Recent advances in inference-time out-of-distribution detection help mitigate some of these problems.

  We show that current out-of-distribution (OOD) detection algorithms for neural networks produce unsatisfactory results in a variety of OOD detection scenarios. This paper studies how such "hard" OOD scenarios can benefit from adjusting the detection method after observing a batch of the test data. We propose a novel method that uses an artificial labeling scheme for the test data and regularization to obtain ensembles of models that produce contradictory predictions only on the OOD samples in a test batch.

  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.
