arXiv:2605. 28021v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is essential for deploying machine learning models in open-world and safety-critical scenarios, where test inputs may deviate from the training distribution and overconfident predictions on unknown samples can lead to unreliable decisions.

arXiv:2606. 17477v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection in dynamic open-world environments requires a model to continually adapt to evolving data distributions while generalizing to covariate-shifted inputs and rejecting semantic-shifted OOD examples.

arXiv:2606. 04164v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Data samples used for training often differ from those encountered during fine-tuning and deployment, and while ML models show promise, their performance remains limited when only small annotated datasets are available.

arXiv:2602. 01515v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Deploying learned control policies is risky because policies that appear robust in simulation can confidently enter out-of-distribution (OOD) states after Sim-to-Real transfer, causing silent failures and potential hardware damage.

arXiv:2607. 26577v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Adaptive conformal inference (ACI) of Gibbs and Cand{\`e}s and its variants are the standard approach to online conformal prediction under distribution shift, but they suffer from three fundamental limitations.

Detecting out-of-distribution (OOD) data is crucial for reliable machine learning deployment. Among detection strategies, post-hoc methods are particularly attractive due to their efficiency, as they operate directly on pre-trained networks without requiring retraining.
arXiv:2505. 04608v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Responsibly deploying artificial intelligence (AI) / machine learning (ML) systems in high-stakes settings arguably requires not only proof of system reliability, but also continual, post-deployment monitoring to quickly detect and address any unsafe behavior.

arXiv:2607. 05481v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Detection models running in adversarial environments face a malicious distribution that drifts rapidly while the benign distribution stays comparatively stable, so teams retrain and redeploy constantly to stay ahead of new threats.

arXiv:2607. 13175v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Safe reinforcement learning typically enforces safety by bounding expected cumulative costs, a criterion that often fails to detect rare but catastrophic tail events.
