An Effective Baseline for Robustness to Distributional Shift

1 code implementation • 15 May 2021 • Sunil Thulasidasan, Sushil Thapa, Sayera Dhaubhadel, Gopinath Chennupati, Tanmoy Bhattacharya, Jeff Bilmes

In this work we present a simple, but highly effective approach to deal with out-of-distribution detection that uses the principle of abstention: when encountering a sample from an unseen class, the desired behavior is to abstain from predicting.
