Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is a critical task for ensuring the reliability and safety of deep neural networks in real-world scenarios.

Out-of-Distribution (OOD) detection, i.e., identifying whether an input is sampled from a novel distribution other than the training distribution, is a critical task for safely deploying machine learning systems in the open world. Recently, post hoc detection utilizing pre-trained models has shown promising performance and can be scaled to large-scale problems. This advance raises a natural question: Can we leverage the diversity of multiple pre-trained models to improve the performance of post hoc detection methods? In this work, we propose a detection enhancement method by ensembling multiple detection decisions derived from a zoo of pre-trained models. Our approach uses the p-value instead of the commonly used hard threshold and leverages a fundamental framework of multiple hypothesis testing to control the true positive rate of In-Distribution (ID) data. We focus on the usage of model zoos and provide systematic empirical comparisons with current state-of-the-art methods on various OOD detection benchmarks. The proposed ensemble scheme shows consistent improvement compared to single-model detectors and significantly outperforms the current competitive methods. Our method substantially improves the relative performance by 65.40% and 26.96% on the CIFAR10 and ImageNet benchmarks.
