• Authors: Puning Yang, Jian Liang, Jie Cao, Ran He
• Abstract summary: Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is crucial to deploying machine learning models in open-world applications. We introduce a novel paradigm called test-time OOD detection, which utilizes unlabeled online data directly at test time to improve OOD detection performance. We propose adaptive outlier optimization (AUTO), which consists of an in-out-aware filter, an ID memory bank, and a semantically-consistent objective.

• Abstract: Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is a crucial aspect of deploying machine learning models in open-world applications. Empirical evidence suggests that training with auxiliary outliers substantially improves OOD detection. However, such outliers typically exhibit a distribution gap compared to the test OOD data and do not cover all possible test OOD scenarios. Additionally, incorporating these outliers introduces additional training burdens. In this paper, we introduce a novel paradigm called test-time OOD detection, which utilizes unlabeled online data directly at test time to improve OOD detection performance. While this paradigm is efficient, it also presents challenges such as catastrophic forgetting. To address these challenges, we propose adaptive outlier optimization (AUTO), which consists of an in-out-aware filter, an ID memory bank, and a semantically-consistent objective. AUTO adaptively mines pseudo-ID and pseudo-OOD samples from test data, utilizing them to optimize networks in real time during inference. Extensive results on CIFAR-10, CIFAR-100, and ImageNet benchmarks demonstrate that AUTO significantly enhances OOD detection performance.

  Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is crucial for deploying reliable machine learning models in open-world applications. Recent advances in CLIP-based OOD detection have shown promising results via regularizing prompt tuning with OOD features extracted from ID data. We propose a novel framework, namely, Self-Calibrated Tuning (SCT), to mitigate this problem for effective OOD detection with only the given few-shot ID data.

  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.

  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.
