Improving Reliability of Deep Learning System Under Distribution Shift Via Feature-Space Out-of-Distribution Detection
Abstract: Deep learning systems achieve strong predictive performance under independently and identically distributed conditions; however, their reliability can decline significantly when exposed to distribution shifts during deployment. This decline is often accompanied by overconfident predictions, which can introduce serious risks in safety-critical applications. In this work, we explore whether explicitly modeling the structure of the latent feature space can improve reliability through more effective out-ofdistribution detection. A statistically grounded framework based …
