CANDOR: Chance-Calibrated Discordance in Frozen Foundation Encoders

Frozen encoders are chosen by how well a lightweight head reads a finding from their features, not whether the geometry separates it. Nearest-neighbor discordance does, but with unequal banks the opposite-label neighbor wins on density, not geometry, so prevalence alone makes an uninformed encoder look blind.

Picking the Right Image to Classify: Reliable-Input Selection in Teledermatology

arXiv:2608. 16198v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dermatology models face distribution shifts in teledermatology settings, where submitted images differ from the training data in lighting, angle, distance, focus, and framing.

A Shared Encoder Is Not a Shared Task: Conditional Comparison for Deep Expert Pools

The paper demonstrates that sharing a deep encoder alone does not eliminate the confounding effects in task-comparison scores. By introducing a conditional two‑discriminator discrepancy within the embedding space, the authors achieve robust detection of task changes, maintaining stability under input rotations and accurately tracking label‑permutation drift. This approach, integrated into a mixture‑of‑heads framework, outperforms traditional novelty triggers and generalizes across multiple backbones and datasets, including ImageNet‑21k ViT‑B/16, DINOv2, and CIFAR‑100.

What Changed? Drift Detection with Real, Virtual, and Incomparable Diagnosis

The paper investigates drift detection in deep learning models, showing that sharing a deep encoder alone does not eliminate confounding in task-comparison scores. By introducing a conditional two‑discriminator discrepancy into the embedding space, the authors create a two‑axis gate that remains stable under input rotations and accurately tracks label‑permutation drift. This approach outperforms traditional exchange or novelty triggers, achieving high AUROC in distinguishing semantic novelty from photometric shift across multiple backbones and datasets.
