• Abstract summary: existing models either fail or face a dramatic drop under the so-called near-distribution" setting. We propose to exploit a score-based generative model to produce synthetic near-distribution anomalous data. Our method improves the near-distribution novelty detection by 6% and passes the state-of-the-art by 1% to 5% across nine novelty detection benchmarks.

• Abstract: We aim for image-based novelty detection. Despite considerable progress, existing models either fail or face a dramatic drop under the so-called ``near-distribution" setting, where the differences between normal and anomalous samples are subtle. We first demonstrate existing methods experience up to 20\% decrease in performance in the near-distribution setting. Next, we propose to exploit a score-based generative model to produce synthetic near-distribution anomalous data. Our model is then fine-tuned to distinguish such data from the normal samples. We provide a quantitative as well as qualitative evaluation of this strategy, and compare the results with a variety of GAN-based models. Effectiveness of our method for both the near-distribution and standard novelty detection is assessed through extensive experiments on datasets in diverse applications such as medical images, object classification, and quality control. This reveals that our method considerably improves over existing models, and consistently decreases the gap between the near-distribution and standard novelty detection performance. Overall, our method improves the near-distribution novelty detection by 6% and passes the state-of-the-art by 1% to 5% across nine novelty detection benchmarks.

• Assessing Sample Quality via the Latent Space of Generative Models [44.59115390303591]
  We propose to examine the latent space of a trained generative model to infer generated sample quality. This is feasible because the quality a generated sample directly relates to the amount of training data resembling it. We show that the proposed score correlates highly with the sample quality for various generative models including VAEs, GANs and Latent Diffusion Models.

  We propose emphProjection Regret (PR), an efficient novelty detection method that mitigates the bias of non-semantic information. PR computes the perceptual distance between the test image and its diffusion-based projection to detect abnormality. Extensive experiments demonstrate that PR outperforms the prior art of generative-model-based novelty detection methods by a significant margin.

  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 propose Average Thresholded Confidence (ATC), a practical method that learns a threshold on the model's confidence, predicting accuracy as the fraction of unlabeled examples.
