Why Should we Combine Training and Post-Training Methods for Out-of-Distribution Detection?

Deep neural networks are known to achieve superior results i n classification tasks. However, it has been recently shown that they are incapable t o detect examples that are generated by a distribution which is different than the one they have been trained on since they are making overconfident prediction fo r Out-Of-Distribution (OOD) examples. OOD detection has attracted a lot of attenti on recently. In this paper, we review some of the most seminal recent algorit hms in the OOD detection field, we divide those methods into training and po st-training and we experimentally show how the combination of the former with t he latter can achieve state-of-the-art results in the OOD detection task. Since the seminal work of Krizhevsky et al. (2012), Deep Neur al Networks (DNNs) have demonstrated great success in several applications, e.g.
