• Abstract summary: We define 2 categories of OoD data using the subtly different concepts of perceptual/visual and semantic similarity to in-distribution (iD) data. We propose a GAN based framework for generating OoD samples from each of these 2 categories, given an iD dataset. We show that a) state-of-the-art OoD detection methods which perform exceedingly well on conventional benchmarks are significantly less robust to our proposed benchmark.

• Abstract: In image classification, a lot of development has happened in detecting out-of-distribution (OoD) data. However, most OoD detection methods are evaluated on a standard set of datasets, arbitrarily different from training data. There is no clear definition of what forms a ``good" OoD dataset. Furthermore, the state-of-the-art OoD detection methods already achieve near perfect results on these standard benchmarks. In this paper, we define 2 categories of OoD data using the subtly different concepts of perceptual/visual and semantic similarity to in-distribution (iD) data. We define Near OoD samples as perceptually similar but semantically different from iD samples, and Shifted samples as points which are visually different but semantically akin to iD data. We then propose a GAN based framework for generating OoD samples from each of these 2 categories, given an iD dataset. Through extensive experiments on MNIST, CIFAR-10/100 and ImageNet, we show that a) state-of-the-art OoD detection methods which perform exceedingly well on conventional benchmarks are significantly less robust to our proposed benchmark. Moreover, b) models performing well on our setup also perform well on conventional real-world OoD detection benchmarks and vice versa, thereby indicating that one might not even need a separate OoD set, to reliably evaluate performance in OoD detection.

We demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art techniques on various computer vision datasets.

• Interpretable Out-Of-Distribution Detection Using Pattern Identification [0.0]
  Out-of-distribution (OoD) detection for data-based programs is a goal of paramount importance. Common approaches in the literature tend to train detectors requiring inside-of-distribution (in-distribution, or IoD) and OoD validation samples. We propose to use existing work from the field of explainable AI, namely the PARTICUL pattern identification algorithm, in order to build more interpretable and robust OoD detectors.

  We develop a new graph contrastive learning framework GOOD-D for detecting OOD graphs without using any ground-truth labels. GOOD-D is able to capture the latent ID patterns and accurately detect OOD graphs based on the semantic inconsistency in different granularities. As a pioneering work in unsupervised graph-level OOD detection, we build a comprehensive benchmark to compare our proposed approach with different state-of-the-art methods.

  We construct a general SALient Object Detection (SALOD) benchmark to conduct a comprehensive comparison among several representative SOD methods. In the above experiments, we find that existing loss functions usually specialized in some metrics but reported inferior results on the others. We propose a novel Edge-Aware (EA) loss that promotes deep networks to learn more discriminative features by integrating both pixel- and image-level supervision signals.

  OoD (out-of-distribution) indicators based on deep generative models are proposed recently and are shown to work well on small datasets. We conduct the first large collection of benchmarks (containing 92 dataset pairs) for existing OoD indicators and observe that none perform well. We propose a novel theoretical framework, DOI, for divergence-based Out-of-Distribution indicators (instead of traditional likelihood-based) in deep generative models.

  Machine learning (ML) systems often encounter Out-of-Distribution (OoD) errors when dealing with testing data coming from a distribution different from training data. Existing OoD detection approaches are prone to errors and even sometimes assign higher likelihoods to OoD samples. We propose Neural Architecture Distribution Search (NADS) to identify common building blocks among all uncertainty-aware architectures.

We specifically propose to decompose confidence scoring as well as a modified input pre-processing method. Our further analysis on a larger scale image dataset shows that the two types of distribution shifts, specifically semantic shift and non-semantic shift, present a significant difference.
