Out-of-Distribution (OOD) 检测在机器学习中至关重要,尤其在安全敏感应用中,模型失效可能带来严重后果。现有方法常受限于分布假设、可扩展性差且缺乏可解释性。为此,我们提出 STOOD-X,一种两阶段方法:第一阶段利用特征空间距离与 Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney 非参数检验识别 OOD 样本,无需假设特征分布;第二阶段生成用户友好的概念级视觉解释,契合 BLUE XAI 范式。在多个基准数据集和多种架构上的大量实验表明,STOOD-X 性能媲美最先进后处理检测器,尤其在高维复杂场景中表现优异。其可解释框架支持人工监督、偏见检测与模型调试,促进人机信任与协作。STOOD-X 提供了一种鲁棒、可解释且可扩展的真实世界 OOD 检测解决方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Out-of-Distribution (OOD) detection is a critical task in machine learning, particularly in safety-sensitive applications where model failures can have serious consequences. However, current OOD detection methods often suffer from restrictive distributional assumptions, limited scalability, and a lack of interpretability. To address these challenges, we propose STOOD-X, a two-stage methodology that combines a Statistical nonparametric Test for OOD Detection with eXplainability enhancements. In the first stage, STOOD-X uses feature-space distances and a Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test to identify OOD samples without assuming a specific feature distribution. In the second stage, it generates user-friendly, concept-based visual explanations that reveal the features driving each decision, aligning with the BLUE XAI paradigm. Through extensive experiments on benchmark datasets and multiple architectures, STOOD-X achieves competitive performance against state-of-the-art post hoc OOD detectors, particularly in high-dimensional and complex settings. In addition, its explainability framework enables human oversight, bias detection, and model debugging, fostering trust and collaboration between humans and AI systems. The STOOD-X methodology therefore offers a robust, explainable, and scalable solution for real-world OOD detection tasks.
