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.
The paper investigates whether the performance of anomaly detection systems can be predicted without labeled anomalies. For kNN-based detectors, it derives a lower bound on AUC that links detection performance to the separation and variance of inlier and outlier scores, and uses this to analyze how density variation, intrinsic dimensionality, and domain mismatch affect score variability. The authors introduce pseudo‑anomaly probes that provide a reference for estimating relative score separation, and demonstrate through experiments on DCASE benchmarks that these probes enable anomaly‑free model selection to outperform conventional development‑set selection, especially under domain shift.
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. 29791v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Outlier detection (OD) aims to identify anomalous instances by learning the underlying structure of normal data (inliers), and is particularly challenging in fully unsupervised settings where no information about anomalies is available during training.
