• Abstract: We present a comprehensive experimental study on pretrained feature extractors for visual out-of-distribution (OOD) detection, focusing on adapting contrastive language-image pretrained (CLIP) models. Without fine-tuning on the training data, we are able to establish a positive correlation ($R^2\geq0.92$) between in-distribution classification and unsupervised OOD detection for CLIP models in $4$ benchmarks. We further propose a new simple and scalable method called \textit{pseudo-label probing} (PLP) that adapts vision-language models for OOD detection. Given a set of label names of the training set, PLP trains a linear layer using the pseudo-labels derived from the text encoder of CLIP. To test the OOD detection robustness of pretrained models, we develop a novel feature-based adversarial OOD data manipulation approach to create adversarial samples. Intriguingly, we show that (i) PLP outperforms the previous state-of-the-art \citep{ming2022mcm} on all $5$ large-scale benchmarks based on ImageNet, specifically by an average AUROC gain of 3.4\% using the largest CLIP model (ViT-G), (ii) we show that linear probing outperforms fine-tuning by large margins for CLIP architectures (i.e. CLIP ViT-H achieves a mean gain of 7.3\% AUROC on average on all ImageNet-based benchmarks), and (iii) billion-parameter CLIP models still fail at detecting adversarially manipulated OOD images. The code and adversarially created datasets will be made publicly available.

  We tackle the challenge of predicting models' Out-of-Distribution (OOD) performance using in-distribution (ID) measurements without requiring OOD data. We introduce the Lowest Common Ancestor (LCA)-on-the-Line framework, which measures the hierarchical distance between labels and predictions within a predefined class hierarchy.

  Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is crucial for the safe deployment of neural networks. We propose SeTAR, a training-free OOD detection method. SeTAR enhances OOD detection via post-hoc modification of the model's weight matrices using a simple greedy search algorithm. Our work offers a scalable, efficient solution for OOD detection, setting a new state-of-the-art in this area.

  Out-of-distribution (OOD) samples are crucial when deploying machine learning models in open-world scenarios. We propose to tackle this constraint by leveraging the expert knowledge and reasoning capability of large language models (LLM) to potential Outlier Exposure, termed EOE. EOE can be generalized to different tasks, including far, near, and fine-language OOD detection. EOE achieves state-of-the-art performance across different OOD tasks and can be effectively scaled to the ImageNet-1K dataset.

  Contrastive language-image pre-training (CLIP) models have shown impressive zero-shot ability, but the further adaptation of CLIP on downstream tasks undesirably degrades OOD performances. We propose CLIPood, a fine-tuning method that can adapt CLIP models to OOD situations where both domain shifts and open classes may occur on unseen test data. Experiments on diverse datasets with different OOD scenarios show that CLIPood consistently outperforms existing generalization techniques.
