• Abstract summary: We present an approach to quantifying uncertainty for deep neural networks in image classification, based on generative adversarial networks (GANs) Instead of shielding the entire in-distribution data with GAN generated OoD examples, we shield each class separately with out-of-class examples generated by a conditional GAN. In particular, we improve over the OoD detection and FP detection performance of state-of-the-art GAN-training based classifiers.

• Abstract: We present an approach to quantifying both aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty for deep neural networks in image classification, based on generative adversarial networks (GANs). While most works in the literature that use GANs to generate out-of-distribution (OoD) examples only focus on the evaluation of OoD detection, we present a GAN based approach to learn a classifier that exhibits proper uncertainties for OoD examples as well as for false positives (FPs). Instead of shielding the entire in-distribution data with GAN generated OoD examples which is state-of-the-art, we shield each class separately with out-of-class examples generated by a conditional GAN and complement this with a one-vs-all image classifier. In our experiments, in particular on CIFAR10, we improve over the OoD detection and FP detection performance of state-of-the-art GAN-training based classifiers. Furthermore, we also find that the generated GAN examples do not significantly affect the calibration error of our classifier and result in a significant gain in model accuracy.

  Class-conditional image generation using generative adversarial networks (GANs) has been investigated through various techniques. We propose a novel approach for class-conditional image generation using GANs called DuDGAN, which incorporates a dual diffusion-based noise injection process. Our method outperforms state-of-the-art conditional GAN models for image generation in terms of performance.

  We derive a variational objective to train the model, analogous to the evidence lower bound (ELBO) used to train variational auto-encoders. Treating inputs to the softmax layer as samples of a latent variable, our abstracted perspective reveals a potential inconsistency. We induce a chosen latent distribution, instead of the implicit assumption found in a standard softmax layer.

  We focus on a specific use case in anomaly detection where the distribution of normal samples is supported by a lower-dimensional manifold. We adapt a self-supervised learning regime that exploits discriminative information during training but focuses on the submanifold of normal examples. We achieve a new state-of-the-art result on the MVTec AD dataset -- a challenging benchmark for visual anomaly detection in the manufacturing domain.

• on the effectiveness of generative adversarial network on anomaly detection [1.6244541005112747]
  GANs rely on the rich contextual information of these models to identify the actual training distribution. We suggest a new unsupervised model based on GANs --a combination of an autoencoder and a GAN. A new scoring function was introduced to target anomalies where a linear combination of the internal representation of the discriminator and the generator's visual representation, plus the encoded representation of the autoencoder, come together to define the proposed anomaly score.

• A Unified View of cGANs with and without Classifiers [24.28407308818025]
  Conditional Generative Adversarial Networks (cGANs) are implicit generative models which allow to sample from class-conditional distributions. Some representative cGANs avoid the shortcoming and reach state-of-the-art performance without having classifiers. In this work, we demonstrate that classifiers can be properly leveraged to improve cGANs.

  Conditional generative models aim to learn the underlying joint distribution of data and labels. auxiliary classifier generative adversarial networks (AC-GAN) have been widely used, but suffer from the issue of low intra-class diversity on generated samples. We propose novel cGANs with auxiliary discriminative classifier (ADC-GAN) to address the issue of AC-GAN.

  Deep neural networks are effective on supervised learning tasks, but have been shown to be brittle. In this paper, we leverage generative models to identify and characterize instances where classifiers fail to generalize. Our approach is agnostic to class labels from the training set which makes it applicable to models trained in a semi-supervised way.

  Building on the success of deep learning, Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) provide a modern approach to learn a probability distribution from observed samples. GANs often suffer from the mode collapse issue where the generator fails to capture all existing modes of the input distribution. We take an information-theoretic approach and maximize a variational lower bound on the entropy of the generated samples to increase their diversity.

  We propose a variant of Adversarial Autoencoder which uses a mirrored Wasserstein loss in the discriminator to enforce better semantic-level reconstruction. We put forward an alternative measure of anomaly score to replace the reconstruction-based metric. Our method outperforms the current state-of-the-art methods for anomaly detection on several OOD detection benchmarks.
