• Abstract: Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is essential for the reliable and safe deployment of machine learning systems in the real world. Great progress has been made over the past years. This paper presents the first review of recent advances in OOD detection with a particular focus on natural language processing approaches. First, we provide a formal definition of OOD detection and discuss several related fields. We then categorize recent algorithms into three classes according to the data they used: (1) OOD data available, (2) OOD data unavailable + in-distribution (ID) label available, and (3) OOD data unavailable + ID label unavailable. Third, we introduce datasets, applications, and metrics. Finally, we summarize existing work and present potential future research topics.

  This paper addresses the challenging task of long-tailed OOD detection. The main difficulty lies in distinguishing OOD data from samples belonging to the tail classes. We propose two simple ideas: (1) Expanding the in-distribution class space by introducing multiple abstention classes, and (2) Augmenting the context-limited tail classes by overlaying images onto the context-rich OOD data.

  Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection discerns OOD data where the predictor cannot make valid predictions as in-distribution (ID) data. It is typically hard to collect real out-of-distribution (OOD) data for training a predictor capable of discerning OOD patterns. We propose a data generation-based learning method named Auxiliary Task-based OOD Learning (ATOL) that can relieve the mistaken OOD generation.

  Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection methods assume that they have test ground truths, i.e., whether individual test samples are in-distribution (IND) or OOD. In this paper, we are the first to introduce the unsupervised evaluation problem in OOD detection. We propose three methods to compute Gscore as an unsupervised indicator of OOD detection performance.
