• Authors: Jonathan Becktor, Frederik Scholler, Evangelos Boukas, and Lazaros Nalpantidis
• Abstract summary: We present a method joining the intra-class uncertainty achieved using Monte Carlo Dropout to gain more holistic uncertainty measures. Our work improves the FPR95 by 8% compared to the current highest-performing work when the models are trained without out-of-distribution data. We release the SHIPS dataset and show the effectiveness of our method by improving the FPR95 by 44.2% with respect to the baseline.

• Abstract: We explore the use of uncertainty estimation in the maritime domain, showing the efficacy on toy datasets (CIFAR10) and proving it on an in-house dataset, SHIPS. We present a method joining the intra-class uncertainty achieved using Monte Carlo Dropout, with recent discoveries in the field of outlier detection, to gain more holistic uncertainty measures. We explore the relationship between the introduced uncertainty measures and examine how well they work on CIFAR10 and in a real-life setting. Our work improves the FPR95 by 8% compared to the current highest-performing work when the models are trained without out-of-distribution data. We increase the performance by 77% compared to a vanilla implementation of the Wide ResNet. We release the SHIPS dataset and show the effectiveness of our method by improving the FPR95 by 44.2% with respect to the baseline. Our approach is model agnostic, easy to implement, and often does not require model retraining.

  We present UncertaintyRAG, a novel approach for long-context Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) We use Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR)-based span uncertainty to estimate similarity between text chunks. UncertaintyRAG outperforms baselines by 2.03% on LLaMA-2-7B, achieving state-of-the-art results.

  We focus on data pruning, where some training samples are removed based on the distance to the model classification boundary (i.e., margin) We propose PUMA, a new data pruning strategy that computes the margin using DeepFool. We show that PUMA can be used on top of the current state-of-the-art methodology in robustness, and it is able to significantly improve the model performance unlike the existing data pruning strategies.

• Out-of-distribution Object Detection through Bayesian Uncertainty Estimation [10.985423935142832]
  We propose a novel, intuitive, and scalable probabilistic object detection method for OOD detection. Our method is able to distinguish between in-distribution (ID) data and OOD data via weight parameter sampling from proposed Gaussian distributions. We demonstrate that our Bayesian object detector can achieve satisfactory OOD identification performance by reducing the FPR95 score by up to 8.19% and increasing the AUROC score by up to 13.94% when trained on BDD100k and VOC datasets.

In our experiment for AD prognosis, not only do the UQ methods provide these benefits, but several UQ methods maintain the high performance of the original ARMED method.

  This paper proposes an uncertainty-based Meta-Reinforcement Learning (Meta-RL) approach with Out-of-Distribution (OOD) detection. Using information about its complexity, the proposed algorithm is able to point out when tracking is reliable. There, we show that our method outperforms related Meta-RL approaches on unseen tracking scenarios in peak performance by 16% and the baseline by 35%.

  Outlier detection tasks have been playing a critical role in AI safety. Deep neural network classifiers usually tend to incorrectly classify out-of-distribution (OOD) inputs into in-distribution classes with high confidence. We propose an alternative probabilistic paradigm that is both practically useful and theoretically viable for the OOD detection tasks.

  Real-world machine learning deployments are characterized by mismatches between the source (training) and target (test) distributions. In this work, we investigate methods for predicting the target domain accuracy using only labeled source data and unlabeled target data. We propose Average Thresholded Confidence (ATC), a practical method that learns a threshold on the model's confidence, predicting accuracy as the fraction of unlabeled examples.

  Weakly-supervised salient object detection (WSOD) aims to develop saliency models using image-level annotations. We propose a self-calibrated training strategy by explicitly establishing a mutual calibration loop between pseudo labels and network predictions. We prove that even a much smaller dataset with well-matched annotations can facilitate models to achieve better performance as well as generalizability.
