Understanding Out of Distribution Detection

Out of distribution (OOD) detection involves identifying data that does not conform to the distribution that a machine learning model was trained on. This situation arises when a model encounters unseen data that is different from its training examples, which can lead to incorrect predictions. For instance, a classifier trained to differentiate between cats and dogs may struggle when faced with entirely new animal species, such as parakeets. The challenge lies in creating models robust enough to handle such variations and potentially adapting or detecting failures in real-time.
