Deep probabilistic generative models facilitate OOD detection by estimating the likelihood of a data sample. However, such models frequently assign a suspiciously high likelihood to a specific outlier. Several recent works have addressed this issue by training a neural network with auxiliary outliers, which are generated by perturbing the input data. In this paper, we discover that these approaches fail for certain OOD datasets. Thus, we suggest a new detection metric that operates without outlier exposure. We observe that our metric is robust to diverse variations of an image compared to the previous outlier-exposing methods. Furthermore, our proposed score requires neither auxiliary models nor additional training. Instead, this paper utilizes the likelihood ratio statistic in a new perspective to extract genuine properties from the given single deep probabilistic generative model. We also apply a novel numerical approximation to enable fast implementation. Finally, we demonstrate comprehensive experiments on various probabilistic generative models and show that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2106.07903v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2106.07903v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"robust-out-of-distribution-detection-on-deep","repo_url":"https://github.com/shinypond/ood_detection","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"ood-detection","task_name":"Out of Distribution (OOD) Detection"},{"task_slug":"out-of-distribution-detection","task_name":"Out-of-Distribution Detection"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
