• Abstract: Open-set Recognition (OSR) aims to identify test samples whose classes are not seen during the training process. Recently, Unified Open-set Recognition (UOSR) has been proposed to reject not only unknown samples but also known but wrongly classified samples, which tends to be more practical in real-world applications. The UOSR draws little attention since it is proposed, but we find sometimes it is even more practical than OSR in the real world applications, as evaluation results of known but wrongly classified samples are also wrong like unknown samples. In this paper, we deeply analyze the UOSR task under different training and evaluation settings to shed light on this promising research direction. For this purpose, we first evaluate the UOSR performance of several OSR methods and show a significant finding that the UOSR performance consistently surpasses the OSR performance by a large margin for the same method. We show that the reason lies in the known but wrongly classified samples, as their uncertainty distribution is extremely close to unknown samples rather than known and correctly classified samples. Second, we analyze how the two training settings of OSR (i.e., pre-training and outlier exposure) influence the UOSR. We find although they are both beneficial for distinguishing known and correctly classified samples from unknown samples, pre-training is also helpful for identifying known but wrongly classified samples while outlier exposure is not. In addition to different training settings, we also formulate a new evaluation setting for UOSR which is called few-shot UOSR, where only one or five samples per unknown class are available during evaluation to help identify unknown samples. We propose FS-KNNS for the few-shot UOSR to achieve state-of-the-art performance under all settings.

  Open set recognition (OSR) requires the model to classify samples that belong to closed sets while rejecting unknown samples during test. Currently, generative models often perform better than discriminative models in OSR. We propose a new model, namely Multi-Expert Diverse Attention Fusion (MEDAF), that learns diverse representations in a discriminative way.

  Active Learning (AL) aims to enhance the performance of deep models by selecting the most informative samples for annotation from a pool of unlabeled data. Despite impressive performance in closed-set settings, most AL methods fail in real-world scenarios where the unlabeled data contains unknown categories. We propose an Entropic Open-set AL framework which leverages both known and unknown distributions effectively to select informative samples during AL rounds.

We propose three open-set protocols that provide rich datasets of natural images with different levels of similarity between known and unknown classes. We propose a new validation metric that can be employed to assess whether the training of deep learning models addresses both the classification of known samples and the rejection of unknown samples.

  We introduce a novel problem setup that generalizes conventional OSR to a multi-attribute setting. We show that these baselines are vulnerable to shortcuts when spurious correlations exist in the training dataset. We provide an empirical evidence showing that this behavior is consistent across different baselines on both synthetic and real world datasets.
