• Abstract: One critical challenge in deploying highly performant machine learning models in real-life applications is out of distribution (OOD) detection. Given a predictive model which is accurate on in distribution (ID) data, an OOD detection system will further equip the model with the option to defer prediction when the input is novel and the model has little confidence in prediction. There has been some recent interest in utilizing the gradient information in pre-trained models for OOD detection. While these methods have shown competitive performance, there are misconceptions about the true mechanism underlying them, which conflate their performance with the necessity of gradients. In this work, we provide an in-depth analysis and comparison of gradient based methods and elucidate the key components that warrant their OOD detection performance. We further propose a general, non-gradient based method of OOD detection which improves over previous baselines in both performance and computational efficiency.

  We study the effect of PT-OOD on the OOD detection performance of pre-trained networks. We find that the low linear separability of PT-OOD in the feature space heavily degrades the PT-OOD detection performance. We propose a unique solution to large-scale pre-trained models: Leveraging powerful instance-by-instance discriminative representations of pre-trained models.

  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 is a critical task for reliable predictions over text. Fine-tuning with pre-trained language models has been a de facto procedure to derive OOD detectors. We show that using distance-based detection methods, pre-trained language models are near-perfect OOD detectors when the distribution shift involves a domain change.

  Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is crucial to deploying machine learning models in open-world applications. We introduce a novel paradigm called test-time OOD detection, which utilizes unlabeled online data directly at test time to improve OOD detection performance. We propose adaptive outlier optimization (AUTO), which consists of an in-out-aware filter, an ID memory bank, and a semantically-consistent objective.

  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 current out-of-distribution (OOD) detection algorithms for neural networks produce unsatisfactory results in a variety of OOD detection scenarios.

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.
