解决长尾数据下异常检测不准的问题,提升模型鲁棒性。

Long-Tailed Out-of-Distribution Detection with Refined Separate Class Learning

  • 动态调整类别温度,区分头尾类与异常样本
  • 通过挖掘有信息量的异常点,显著提升检测精度
  • 适合长尾分布场景下的高可靠性异常检测任务

分布外(OOD)检测对部署稳健机器学习模型至关重要。然而,在训练数据呈现长尾分布时,模型对OOD样本的识别能力会严重下降,原因在于OOD样本与头部或尾部类别之间存在混淆。为区分OOD样本与头部及尾部类别,分离类别学习(SCL)方法被提出,分别进行头部和尾部特定类别学习。本文分析现有SCL方法的局限性,发现静态温度缩放值和无信息异常点的存在显著影响检测性能。为此,提出新的精化分离类别学习(RSCL)方法:采用动态类别级温度调整,为每个类别调节温度参数;并通过信息型异常点挖掘,基于其与头部和尾部类别的亲和性识别多种类型异常点。大量实验表明,RSCL在提升分布内分类准确率的同时,实现了更优的OOD检测性能。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is crucial for deploying robust machine learning models. However, when training data follows a long-tailed distribution, the model's ability to accurately detect OOD samples is significantly compromised, due to the confusion between OOD samples and head/tail classes. To distinguish OOD samples from both head and tail classes, the separate class learning (SCL) approach has emerged as a promising solution, which separately conduct head-specific and tail-specific class learning. To this end, we examine the limitations of existing works of SCL and reveal that the OOD detection performance is notably influenced by the use of static scaling temperature value and the presence of uninformative outliers. To mitigate these limitations, we propose a novel approach termed Refined Separate Class Learning (RSCL), which leverages dynamic class-wise temperature adjustment to modulate the temperature parameter for each in-distribution class and informative outlier mining to identify diverse types of outliers based on their affinity with head and tail classes. Extensive experiments demonstrate that RSCL achieves superior OOD detection performance while improving the classification accuracy on in-distribution data.
