Tippett-minimum Fusion of Representation-space Diffusion Models for Multi-Encoder Out-of-Distribution Detection
The paper presents a novel approach for out-of-distribution (OOD) detection using a multi-encoder fusion of representation-space diffusion models. The proposed method, EncMin2L, effectively combines and calibrates likelihood detectors without requiring OOD labels, achieving significant performance improvements. It demonstrates superior results across various distribution shifts while maintaining lower parameter costs compared to existing models.
- ▪The study addresses OOD detection across multiple types of distribution shifts.
- ▪EncMin2L combines per-encoder diffusion-based likelihood detectors without OOD labels.
- ▪The method outperforms state-of-the-art OOD detectors with a 2.3 times lower parameter cost.
