• Abstract summary: We exploit the view of denoising probabilistic diffusion models (DDPM) as denoising autoencoders. We use DDPMs to reconstruct an input that has been noised to a range of noise levels, and use the resulting multi-dimensional reconstruction error to classify out-of-distribution inputs.

• Abstract: Out-of-distribution detection is crucial to the safe deployment of machine learning systems. Currently, unsupervised out-of-distribution detection is dominated by generative-based approaches that make use of estimates of the likelihood or other measurements from a generative model. Reconstruction-based methods offer an alternative approach, in which a measure of reconstruction error is used to determine if a sample is out-of-distribution. However, reconstruction-based approaches are less favoured, as they require careful tuning of the model's information bottleneck - such as the size of the latent dimension - to produce good results. In this work, we exploit the view of denoising diffusion probabilistic models (DDPM) as denoising autoencoders where the bottleneck is controlled externally, by means of the amount of noise applied. We propose to use DDPMs to reconstruct an input that has been noised to a range of noise levels, and use the resulting multi-dimensional reconstruction error to classify out-of-distribution inputs. We validate our approach both on standard computer-vision datasets and on higher dimension medical datasets. Our approach outperforms not only reconstruction-based methods, but also state-of-the-art generative-based approaches. Code is available at https://github.com/marksgraham/ddpm-ood.

  In the field of data mining and machine learning, commonly used classification models cannot effectively learn in unbalanced data. Most of the classical oversampling methods are based on the SMOTE technique, which only focuses on the local information of the data. We propose a novel oversampling method SEMRes-DDPM.

  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.

  Existing customization methods require access to multiple reference examples to align pre-trained diffusion probabilistic models with user-provided concepts. This paper aims to address the challenge of DPM customization when the only available supervision is a differentiable metric defined on the generated contents. We propose a novel method AdjointDPM, which first generates new samples from diffusion models by solving the corresponding probability-flow ODEs. It then uses the adjoint sensitivity method to backpropagate the gradients of the loss to the models' parameters.

  Anomaly detection has a wide range of applications and is especially important in industrial quality inspection. Reconstruction-based methods use reconstruction errors to detect anomalies without considering positional differences between samples. In this study, a reconstruction-based method using the noise-to-norm paradigm is proposed, which avoids the invariant reconstruction of anomalous regions.
