Title: ODIN: Outlier Detection In Neural Networks

Paper content:
Adoption of deep learning in safety-critical systems raise the need for understanding what deep neural networks do not understand.
Several methodologies to estimate model uncertainty have been proposed, but these methodologies constrain either how the neural network is trained or constructed.
We present Outlier Detection In Neural networks (ODIN), an assumption-free method for detecting outlier observations during prediction, based on principles widely used in manufacturing process monitoring.
By using a linear approximation of the hidden layer manifold, we add prediction-time outlier detection to models after training without altering architecture or training.
We demonstrate that ODIN efficiently detect outliers during prediction on Fashion-MNIST, ImageNet-synsets and speech command recognition.
Thanks to the powerful transformations learned by deep neural networks, deep learning is applied in an increasing number of applications.
But deep neural networks, as all data-driven models, tend to fail when input data differs from training data.
Adopting deep learning in increasingly complex and possibly safety-critical systems makes it crucial to know not only whether the model's predictions are accurate, but also whether the model should predict at all.
If the model is able to detect outlier observations post-training directly, the system can fall back to safe behaviour minimizing negative consequences of faulty predictions.
By understanding the limits of models' learned representations and detecting when observations are not recognized, autonomous decision making based on deep learning can be improved.In manufacturing process control, predictive models have long been used to predict process outcomes as well as detecting outlier input for decades BID8 BID17 BID9 .
A widely used model for this purpose is Partial Least Squares regression (PLS) BID33 , which project input data onto a set of linear latent variables prior to prediction.
In the latent variable space, the distance from new observations to the training data distribution is used to detect outlier observations.
The latent variables can also be used to approximate input observations, meaning that outliers can also be detected by measuring the distance to the latent variable subspace itself.
However, the layers of a neural network learn a non-linear mapping from input to output data spaces rather than a single linear subspace.
This makes it difficult to directly determine the limits of a neural network model's knowledge in the same manner as for a PLS model.In this paper we present Outlier Detection In Neural networks (ODIN), a method for detecting outliers during prediction in deep neural networks.
Based on principles long used in manufacturing process control, we propose using a linear approximation of intermediate activations to provide a fixed representation of the training data.
By comparing new data to this fixed representation we are able to detect outliers during prediction without imposing constraints on architecture or training.
This allows us to use ODIN as a plug-in method allowing reliable and safe autonomous decision making based on deep learning.
Deep neural networks are powerful transformers that have shown great success in many applications.
But, in order to adopt deep learning in safety-critical applications it is crucial to understand when new observations do not match the data used during training.
To imitate linear latent variable models used in manufacturing process monitoring, we use a linear approximation of the hidden layer manifolds to measure distance to and within the manifold.
We compare our results to MC-dropout, a well established Bayesian approach, and consistently detect outliers post-training without imposing any constraints on either architecture or training procedure.
We demonstrate our method in two image classification experiments, with and without a pre-trained network, and a speech recognition example using a recurrent neural network.
By defining the limits of our neural networks' knowledge, ODIN contribute to safer use of deep learning.APPENDIX A APPENDIX
