• Abstract: Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection aims to detect test samples outside the training category space, which is an essential component in building reliable machine learning systems. Existing reviews on OOD detection primarily focus on method taxonomy, surveying the field by categorizing various approaches. However, many recent works concentrate on non-traditional OOD detection scenarios, such as test-time adaptation, multi-modal data sources and other novel contexts. In this survey, we uniquely review recent advances in OOD detection from the problem scenario perspective for the first time. According to whether the training process is completely controlled, we divide OOD detection methods into training-driven and training-agnostic. Besides, considering the rapid development of pre-trained models, large pre-trained model-based OOD detection is also regarded as an important category and discussed separately. Furthermore, we provide a discussion of the evaluation scenarios, a variety of applications, and several future research directions. We believe this survey with new taxonomy will benefit the proposal of new methods and the expansion of more practical scenarios.

• Continual Unsupervised Out-of-Distribution Detection [5.019613806273252]
  Current approaches assume that out-of-distribution samples originate from an unconcentrated distribution complementary to the training distribution. We propose a method that starts from a U-OOD detector, which is agnostic to the OOD distribution, and slowly updates during deployment to account for the actual OOD distribution. Our method uses a new U-OOD scoring function that combines the Mahalanobis distance with a nearest-neighbor approach.

• EAT: Towards Long-Tailed Out-of-Distribution Detection [55.380390767978554]
  This paper addresses the challenging task of long-tailed OOD detection. The main difficulty lies in distinguishing OOD data from samples belonging to the tail classes. We propose two simple ideas: (1) Expanding the in-distribution class space by introducing multiple abstention classes, and (2) Augmenting the context-limited tail classes by overlaying images onto the context-rich OOD data.

• Can Pre-trained Networks Detect Familiar Out-of-Distribution Data? [37.36999826208225]
  We study the effect of PT-OOD on the OOD detection performance of pre-trained networks. We find that the low linear separability of PT-OOD in the feature space heavily degrades the PT-OOD detection performance. We propose a unique solution to large-scale pre-trained models: Leveraging powerful instance-by-instance discriminative representations of pre-trained models.

• Expecting The Unexpected: Towards Broad Out-Of-Distribution Detection [9.656342063882555]
  We study five types of distribution shifts and evaluate the performance of recent OOD detection methods on each of them. Our findings reveal that while these methods excel in detecting unknown classes, their performance is inconsistent when encountering other types of distribution shifts. We present an ensemble approach that offers a more consistent and comprehensive solution for broad OOD detection.

• Large Class Separation is not what you need for Relational Reasoning-based OOD Detection [12.578844450586]
  Out-Of-Distribution (OOD) detection methods provide a solution by identifying semantic novelty. Most of these methods leverage a learning stage on the known data, which means training (or fine-tuning) a model to capture the concept of normality. A viable alternative is that of evaluating similarities in the embedding space produced by large pre-trained models without any further learning effort.

• Plugin estimators for selective classification with out-of-distribution detection [67.28226919253214]
  Real-world classifiers can benefit from abstaining from predicting on samples where they have low confidence. These settings have been the subject of extensive but disjoint study in the selective classification (SC) and out-of-distribution (OOD) detection literature. Recent work on selective classification with OOD detection has argued for the unified study of these problems. We propose new plugin estimators for SCOD that are theoretically grounded, effective, and generalise existing approaches.

  OOD detection is a key component of a reliable machine-learning model for any industry-scale application. We propose POORE - POsthoc pseudo-Ood REgularization, that generates pseudo-OOD samples using in-distribution (IND) data. We extensively evaluate our framework on three real-world dialogue systems, achieving new state-of-the-art in OOD detection.
