Multi-layer Radial Basis Function Networks for Out-of-distribution Detection

Amol Khanna, Chenyi Ling, Derek Everett +2

Existing methods for out-of-distribution (OOD) detection use various techniques to produce a score, separate from classification, that determines how ``OOD'' an input is. Our insig…

OSR-ViT: A Simple and Modular Framework for Open-Set Object Detection and Discovery

Matthew Inkawhich, Nathan Inkawhich, Hao Yang +3

An object detector's ability to detect and flag \textit{novel} objects during open-world deployments is critical for many real-world applications. Unfortunately, much of the work i…

Fine-grain Inference on Out-of-Distribution Data with Hierarchical Classification

Randolph Linderman, Jingyang Zhang, Nathan Inkawhich +2

Machine learning methods must be trusted to make appropriate decisions in real-world environments, even when faced with out-of-distribution (OOD) samples. Many current approaches s…

Tunable Hybrid Proposal Networks for the Open World

Matthew Inkawhich, Nathan Inkawhich, Hai Li +1

Current state-of-the-art object proposal networks are trained with a closed-world assumption, meaning they learn to only detect objects of the training classes. These models fail t…
