• Abstract summary: OOD detection is a key component of a reliable machine-learning model for any industry-scale application. We propose POORE - POsthoc pseudo-Ood REgularization, that generates pseudo-OOD samples using in-distribution (IND) data. We extensively evaluate our framework on three real-world dialogue systems, achieving new state-of-the-art in OOD detection.

• Abstract: While pre-trained large-scale deep models have garnered attention as an important topic for many downstream natural language processing (NLP) tasks, such models often make unreliable predictions on out-of-distribution (OOD) inputs. As such, OOD detection is a key component of a reliable machine-learning model for any industry-scale application. Common approaches often assume access to additional OOD samples during the training stage, however, outlier distribution is often unknown in advance. Instead, we propose a post hoc framework called POORE - POsthoc pseudo-Ood REgularization, that generates pseudo-OOD samples using in-distribution (IND) data. The model is fine-tuned by introducing a new regularization loss that separates the embeddings of IND and OOD data, which leads to significant gains on the OOD prediction task during testing. We extensively evaluate our framework on three real-world dialogue systems, achieving new state-of-the-art in OOD detection.

• Can OOD Object Detectors Learn from Foundation Models? [56.03404530594071]
  Out-of-distribution (OOD) object detection is a challenging task due to the absence of open-set OOD data. Inspired by recent advancements in text-to-image generative models, we study the potential of generative models trained on large-scale open-set data to synthesize OOD samples. We introduce SyncOOD, a simple data curation method that capitalizes on the capabilities of large foundation models.

  Current approaches assume that out-of-distribution samples originate from an unconcentrated distribution complementary to the training distribution. We propose a method that starts from a U-OOD detector, which is agnostic to the OOD distribution, and slowly updates during deployment to account for the actual OOD distribution. Our method uses a new U-OOD scoring function that combines the Mahalanobis distance with a nearest-neighbor approach.

  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 identifies test samples that differ from the training data, which is critical to ensuring the safety and reliability of machine learning (ML) systems. We propose a general-purpose weakly-supervised OOD detection framework, called WOOD, that combines a binary classifier and a contrastive learning component. We evaluate the proposed WOOD model on multiple real-world datasets, and the experimental results demonstrate that the WOOD model outperforms the state-of-the-art methods for multi-modal OOD detection.

  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.

  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.
