Robust Evidential Learning Through Latent Consistency

The paper introduces CLEAR, a lightweight, task‑agnostic post‑hoc method that enhances evidential robustness in deep learning models without retraining. CLEAR uses held‑out calibration data to map the geometry of the model’s latent space, then generates perturbation views at inference to detect latent conflict. When high conflict is found, CLEAR selectively reduces evidential strength while preserving evidence for latent‑consistent inputs, achieving significant improvements in OOD and adversarial AUROC on ImageNet→CUB and running much faster than competing methods.
