Class-wise Thresholding for Detecting Out-of-Distribution Data

We consider the problem of detecting OoD(Out-of-Distribution) input data when using deep neural networks, and we propose a simple yet effective way to improve the robustness of several popular OoD detection methods against label shift. Our work is motivated by the observation that most existing OoD detection algorithms consider all training/test data as a whole, regardless of which class entry each input activates (inter-class differences). Through extensive experimentation, we have found that such practice leads to a detector whose performance is sensitive and vulnerable to label shift. To address this issue, we propose a class-wise thresholding scheme that can apply to most existing OoD detection algorithms and can maintain similar OoD detection performance even in the presence of label shift in the test distribution.

TorchXRayVision: A library of chest X-ray datasets and models

TorchXRayVision is an open source software library for working with chest X-ray datasets and deep learning models. It provides a common interface and common pre-processing chain for a wide set of publicly available chest X-ray datasets. In addition, a number of classification and representation learning models with different architectures, trained on different data combinations, are available through the library to serve as baselines or feature extractors.
