      Figure 2: Exemplar problem settings for tasks under generalized OOD detection framework. Tags on test images refer to model’s expected predictions. (a) In sensory anomaly detection, test images with covariate shift will be considered as OOD. No semantic shift occurs in this setting. (b) In semantic anomaly detection and one-class novelty detection, normality/ID images belong to one class. Test images with semantic shift will be considered as OOD. No covariate shift occurs in this setting. (c) In multi-class novelty detection, ID images belong to multiple classes. Test images with semantic shift will be considered as OOD. No covariate shift occurs in this setting. (d) Open set recognition is identical to multi-class novelty detection in the task of detection, with the only difference that open set recognition further requires in-distribution classification. (e) Out-of-distribution detection is a super-category that covers semantic AD, one-class ND, multi-class ND, and open-set recognition, which canonically aims to detect test samples with semantic shift without losing the ID classification accuracy. (f) Outlier detection does not follow a train-test scheme. All observations are provided. It fits in the generalized OOD detection framework by defining the majority distribution as ID. Outliers can have any distribution shift from the majority samples.
