Out-of-Distribution Detection through Soft Clustering with Non-Negative Kernel Regression

Aryan Gulati, Xingjian Dong, Carlos Hurtado +3

As language models become more general purpose, increased attention needs to be paid to detecting out-of-distribution (OOD) instances, i.e., those not belonging to any of the distr…
