arXiv:2505. 15284v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Out-of-Distribution (OoD) detection is vital for the reliability of deep neural networks, the key of which lies in effectively characterizing the disparities between OoD and In-Distribution (InD) data.
The paper investigates the limits of the maximal coding rate reduction (MCR²) framework for out‑of‑distribution (OOD) generalisation. It shows that MCR² can lead to complete prediction failure under distribution shift, even when a perfectly stable feature is available, and that adding invariance principles from IRM or REx does not resolve this issue. The authors conclude that additional assumptions or learning principles are needed to guarantee stable OOD predictions with MCR².

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.

Neural networks are known to be susceptible to over-reliance on spurious correlations. However, the precise mechanism by which models exploit shortcut features is not fully understood, and algorithms to mitigate this behavior rely on as yet unjustified assumptions about the learned representations.
The paper introduces a framework for out-of-distribution (OOD) detection that addresses the trade‑off between detection performance and classification accuracy caused by fine‑tuning with auxiliary outlier data. It optimizes three factors—model reminder, data sampling, and representation learning—by proposing Self‑Knowledge Distillation to preserve accuracy, Semi‑hard Outlier Sampling to enhance detection with minimal data, and Outlier‑aware Supervised Contrastive Learning to improve ID‑OOD separability. The combined approach yields cumulative gains, outperforming existing methods on diverse benchmarks, especially in long‑tailed scenarios, and offers a robust baseline for real‑world OOD detection.
