• Abstract: Two prevalent types of distributional shifts in machine learning are the covariate shift (as observed across different domains) and the semantic shift (as seen across different classes). Traditional OOD detection techniques typically address only one of these shifts. However, real-world testing environments often present a combination of both covariate and semantic shifts. In this study, we introduce a novel problem, semantic OOD detection across domains, which simultaneously addresses both distributional shifts. To this end, we introduce two regularization strategies: domain generalization regularization, which ensures semantic invariance across domains to counteract the covariate shift, and OOD detection regularization, designed to enhance OOD detection capabilities against the semantic shift through energy bounding. Through rigorous testing on three standard domain generalization benchmarks, our proposed framework showcases its superiority over conventional domain generalization approaches in terms of OOD detection performance. Moreover, it holds its ground by maintaining comparable InD classification accuracy.

  We propose a unified framework for open-set domain generalization by introducing Feature-space Semantic Invariance (FSI) FSI maintains semantic consistency across different domains within the feature space, enabling more accurate detection of OOD instances in unseen domains. We also adopt a generative model to produce synthetic data with novel domain styles or class labels, enhancing model robustness.

  We introduce Meta-learned Across Domain Out-of-distribution Detection (MADOD), a novel framework designed to address both shifts concurrently. Our key innovation lies in task construction: we randomly designate in-distribution classes as pseudo-OODs within each meta-learning task. Experiments on real-world and synthetic datasets demonstrate MADOD's superior performance in semantic OOD detection across unseen domains.
