New research compares training objectives for AI out-of-distribution detection

A new research paper systematically compares four training objectives for out-of-distribution (OOD) detection in image classification. The study evaluated Cross-Entropy Loss, Prototype Loss, Triplet Loss, and Average Precision (AP) Loss using the OpenOOD protocols and a ResNet-18 model. Results indicate that while Cross-Entropy, Prototype, and AP Loss achieve similar in-distribution accuracy, Cross-Entropy Loss generally provides the most consistent OOD detection performance. AI

IMPACT Provides insights into optimizing AI model robustness for safety-critical applications by comparing different training methodologies.
