• Abstract summary: Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is important for machine learning models deployed in the wild. Recent methods use auxiliary outlier data to regularize the model for improved OOD detection. We propose a novel framework that leverages wild mixture data -- that naturally consists of both ID and OOD samples.

• Abstract: Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is important for machine learning models deployed in the wild. Recent methods use auxiliary outlier data to regularize the model for improved OOD detection. However, these approaches make a strong distributional assumption that the auxiliary outlier data is completely separable from the in-distribution (ID) data. In this paper, we propose a novel framework that leverages wild mixture data -- that naturally consists of both ID and OOD samples. Such wild data is abundant and arises freely upon deploying a machine learning classifier in their \emph{natural habitats}. Our key idea is to formulate a constrained optimization problem and to show how to tractably solve it. Our learning objective maximizes the OOD detection rate, subject to constraints on the classification error of ID data and on the OOD error rate of ID examples. We extensively evaluate our approach on common OOD detection tasks and demonstrate superior performance.

  One of the challenges for neural networks in real-life applications is the overconfident errors these models make when the data is not from the original training distribution. We propose the idea of leveraging the information embedded in the gradient of the loss function during training to enable the network to learn a desired OOD score for each sample. We also develop a novel energy-based sampling method to allow the network to be exposed to more informative OOD samples during the training phase.

  This paper addresses the challenging task of long-tailed OOD detection. The main difficulty lies in distinguishing OOD data from samples belonging to the tail classes. We propose two simple ideas: (1) Expanding the in-distribution class space by introducing multiple abstention classes, and (2) Augmenting the context-limited tail classes by overlaying images onto the context-rich OOD data.

• Out-of-distribution Detection Learning with Unreliable Out-of-distribution Sources [73.28967478098107]
  Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection discerns OOD data where the predictor cannot make valid predictions as in-distribution (ID) data. It is typically hard to collect real out-of-distribution (OOD) data for training a predictor capable of discerning OOD patterns. We propose a data generation-based learning method named Auxiliary Task-based OOD Learning (ATOL) that can relieve the mistaken OOD generation.

  Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is an indispensable aspect of secure AI when deploying machine learning models in real-world applications. We propose a novel method, Unleashing Mask, which aims to restore the OOD discriminative capabilities of the well-trained model with ID data. Our method utilizes a mask to figure out the memorized atypical samples, and then finetune the model or prune it with the introduced mask to forget them.

  Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection has received some attention recently. We demonstrate that the current detectors inherit the biases in the training dataset. This can render the current OOD detectors impermeable to inputs lying outside the training distribution but with the same semantic information. We perform OOD detection on semantic information extracted from the training data of MNIST and COCO datasets.

  We show that existing post-hoc methods perform quite differently compared to when evaluated only on OOD detection. We propose a novel method for SCOD, Softmax Information Retaining Combination (SIRC), that augments softmax-based confidence scores with feature-agnostic information. Experiments on a wide variety of ImageNet-scale datasets and convolutional neural network architectures show that SIRC is able to consistently match or outperform the baseline for SCOD.

  Deep neural networks are known to produce highly overconfident predictions on out-of-distribution (OOD) data. In this paper we propose a novel method where from first principles we combine a certifiable OOD detector with a standard classifier into an OOD aware classifier. In this way we achieve the best of two worlds: certifiably adversarially robust OOD detection, even for OOD samples close to the in-distribution, without loss in prediction accuracy and close to state-of-the-art OOD detection performance for non-manipulated OOD data.

  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.
