- Abstract summary: 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.

- Abstract: Detecting out-of-distribution (OOD) data is a task that is receiving an
increasing amount of research attention in the domain of deep learning for
computer vision. However, the performance of detection methods is generally
evaluated on the task in isolation, rather than also considering potential
downstream tasks in tandem. In this work, we examine selective classification
in the presence of OOD data (SCOD). That is to say, the motivation for
detecting OOD samples is to reject them so their impact on the quality of
predictions is reduced. We show under this task specification, that existing
post-hoc methods perform quite differently compared to when evaluated only on
OOD detection. This is because it is no longer an issue to conflate
in-distribution (ID) data with OOD data if the ID data is going to be
misclassified. However, the conflation within ID data of correct and incorrect
predictions becomes undesirable. We also propose a novel method for SCOD,
Softmax Information Retaining Combination (SIRC), that augments softmax-based
confidence scores with feature-agnostic information such that their ability to
identify OOD samples is improved without sacrificing separation between correct
and incorrect ID predictions. 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, whilst existing OOD
detection methods fail to do so.

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.

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.
