• Abstract: Detecting Out-of-Distribution (OOD) sensory data and covariate distribution shift aims to identify new test examples with different high-level image statistics to the captured, normal and In-Distribution (ID) set. Existing OOD detection literature largely focuses on semantic shift with little-to-no consensus over covariate shift. Generative models capture the ID data in an unsupervised manner, enabling them to effectively identify samples that deviate significantly from this learned distribution, irrespective of the downstream task. In this work, we elucidate the ability of generative models to detect and quantify domain-specific covariate shift through extensive analyses that involves a variety of models. To this end, we conjecture that it is sufficient to detect most occurring sensory faults (anomalies and deviations in global signals statistics) by solely modeling high-frequency signal-dependent and independent details. We propose a novel method, CovariateFlow, for OOD detection, specifically tailored to covariate heteroscedastic high-frequency image-components using conditional Normalizing Flows (cNFs). Our results on CIFAR10 vs. CIFAR10-C and ImageNet200 vs. ImageNet200-C demonstrate the effectiveness of the method by accurately detecting OOD covariate shift. This work contributes to enhancing the fidelity of imaging systems and aiding machine learning models in OOD detection in the presence of covariate shift.

  We show that existing post-hoc methods perform quite differently compared to when evaluated only on OOD detection. We propose a novel method for SCOD, Softmax Information Retaining Combination (SIRC), that augments softmax-based confidence scores with feature-agnostic information. Experiments on a wide variety of ImageNet-scale datasets and convolutional neural network architectures show that SIRC is able to consistently match or outperform the baseline for SCOD.

  characterization reveals that sensitivity to each type of shift is important to the detection and confidence calibration of OOD data. We propose a geometrically-inspired method to improve OOD detection under both shifts with only in-distribution data. We are the first to propose a method that works well across both OOD detection and calibration and under different types of shifts.

  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.

  Normalizing flows fail to distinguish between in- and out-of-distribution data. We demonstrate that flows learn local pixel correlations and generic image-to-latent-space transformations. We show that by modifying the architecture of flow coupling layers we can bias the flow towards learning the semantic structure of the target data.
