• Title: Stylist: Style-Driven Feature Ranking for Robust Novelty Detection
• Authors: Stefan Smeu, Elena Burceanu, Emanuela Haller, Andrei Liviu Nicolicioiu
• Abstract summary: We propose to use the formalization of separating into semantic or content changes, that are relevant to our task, and style changes, that are irrelevant. Within this formalization, we define the robust novelty detection as the task of finding semantic changes while being robust to style distributional shifts. We show that our selection manages to remove features responsible for spurious correlations and improve novelty detection performance.

• Abstract: Novelty detection aims at finding samples that differ in some form from the distribution of seen samples. But not all changes are created equal. Data can suffer a multitude of distribution shifts, and we might want to detect only some types of relevant changes. Similar to works in out-of-distribution generalization, we propose to use the formalization of separating into semantic or content changes, that are relevant to our task, and style changes, that are irrelevant. Within this formalization, we define the robust novelty detection as the task of finding semantic changes while being robust to style distributional shifts. Leveraging pretrained, large-scale model representations, we introduce Stylist, a novel method that focuses on dropping environment-biased features. First, we compute a per-feature score based on the feature distribution distances between environments. Next, we show that our selection manages to remove features responsible for spurious correlations and improve novelty detection performance. For evaluation, we adapt domain generalization datasets to our task and analyze the methods behaviors. We additionally built a large synthetic dataset where we have control over the spurious correlations degree. We prove that our selection mechanism improves novelty detection algorithms across multiple datasets, containing both stylistic and content shifts.

In experiments, SemiMatch achieves state-of-the-art performance on various benchmarks, especially on PF-Willow by a large margin.

  In the context of supervised statistical learning, it is typically assumed that the training set comes from the same distribution that draws the test samples. Here we take a different avenue and approach the problem from an incremental point of view, where the model is adapted to the new domain iteratively. Our results report a clear improvement with respect to the non-incremental case in several datasets, also outperforming other state-of-the-art domain adaptation algorithms.
