• Abstract: Deep generative models have been demonstrated as problematic in the unsupervised out-of-distribution (OOD) detection task, where they tend to assign higher likelihoods to OOD samples. Previous studies on this issue are usually not applicable to the Variational Autoencoder (VAE). As a popular subclass of generative models, the VAE can be effective with a relatively smaller model size and be more stable and faster in training and inference, which can be more advantageous in real-world applications. In this paper, We propose a novel VAE-based score called Error Reduction (ER) for OOD detection, which is based on a VAE that takes a lossy version of the training set as inputs and the original set as targets. Experiments are carried out on various datasets to show the effectiveness of our method, we also present the effect of design choices with ablation experiments. Our code is available at: https://github.com/ZJLAB-AMMI/VAE4OOD.

  Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is an indispensable aspect of secure AI when deploying machine learning models in real-world applications. We propose a novel method, Unleashing Mask, which aims to restore the OOD discriminative capabilities of the well-trained model with ID data. Our method utilizes a mask to figure out the memorized atypical samples, and then finetune the model or prune it with the introduced mask to forget them.

  Collaborative inference enables resource-constrained edge devices to make inferences by uploading inputs to a server. While this setup works cost-effectively for successful inferences, it severely underperforms when the model faces input samples on which the model was not trained. We propose a novel lightweight OOD detection approach that mines important features from the shallow layers of a pretrained CNN model.

  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.
