OoD Detection
Datasets
For OoD detection, you can train on CIFAR-10/100. You can also train on Dirty-MNIST by downloading Ambiguous-MNIST (amnist_labels.pt and amnist_samples.pt) from here and using the following training instructions.
Training
In order to train a model for the OoD detection task, use the train.py script. Following are the main parameters for training:
--seed: seed for initialization
--dataset: dataset used for training (cifar10/cifar100/dirty_mnist)
--dataset-root: /path/to/amnist_labels.pt and amnist_samples.pt/ (if training on dirty-mnist)
--model: model to train (wide_resnet/vgg16/resnet18/resnet50/lenet)
-sn: whether to use spectral normalization (available for wide_resnet, vgg16 and resnets)
--coeff: Coefficient for spectral normalization
-mod: whether to use architectural modifications (leaky ReLU + average pooling in skip connections)
--save-path: path/for/saving/model/
As an example, in order to train a Wide-ResNet-28-10 with spectral normalization and architectural modifications on CIFAR-10, use the following:
python train.py \
--seed 1 \
--dataset cifar10 \
--model wide_resnet \
-sn -mod \
--coeff 3.0
Similarly, to train a ResNet-18 with spectral normalization on Dirty-MNIST, use:
python train.py \
--seed 1 \
--dataset dirty-mnist \
--dataset-root /home/user/amnist/ \
--model resnet18 \
-sn \
--coeff 3.0
Evaluation
To evaluate trained models, use evaluate.py. This script can evaluate and aggregate results over multiple experimental runs. For example, if the pretrained models are stored in a directory path /home/user/models, store them using the following directory structure:
models
├── Run1
│ └── wide_resnet_1_350.model
├── Run2
│ └── wide_resnet_2_350.model
├── Run3
│ └── wide_resnet_3_350.model
├── Run4
│ └── wide_resnet_4_350.model
└── Run5
└── wide_resnet_5_350.model
For an ensemble of models, store the models using the following directory structure:
model_ensemble
├── Run1
│ ├── wide_resnet_1_350.model
│ ├── wide_resnet_2_350.model
│ ├── wide_resnet_3_350.model
│ ├── wide_resnet_4_350.model
│ └── wide_resnet_5_350.model
├── Run2
│ ├── wide_resnet_10_350.model
│ ├── wide_resnet_6_350.model
│ ├── wide_resnet_7_350.model
│ ├── wide_resnet_8_350.model
│ └── wide_resnet_9_350.model
├── Run3
│ ├── wide_resnet_11_350.model
│ ├── wide_resnet_12_350.model
│ ├── wide_resnet_13_350.model
│ ├── wide_resnet_14_350.model
│ └── wide_resnet_15_350.model
├── Run4
│ ├── wide_resnet_16_350.model
│ ├── wide_resnet_17_350.model
│ ├── wide_resnet_18_350.model
│ ├── wide_resnet_19_350.model
│ └── wide_resnet_20_350.model
└── Run5
├── wide_resnet_21_350.model
├── wide_resnet_22_350.model
├── wide_resnet_23_350.model
├── wide_resnet_24_350.model
└── wide_resnet_25_350.model
Following are the main parameters for evaluation:
--seed: seed used for initializing the first trained model
--dataset: dataset used for training (cifar10/cifar100)
--ood_dataset: OoD dataset to compute AUROC
--load-path: /path/to/pretrained/models/
--model: model architecture to load (wide_resnet/vgg16)
--runs: number of experimental runs
-sn: whether the model was trained using spectral normalization
--coeff: Coefficient for spectral normalization
-mod: whether the model was trained using architectural modifications
--ensemble: number of models in the ensemble
--model-type: type of model to load for evaluation (softmax/ensemble/gmm)
As an example, in order to evaluate a Wide-ResNet-28-10 with spectral normalization and architectural modifications on CIFAR-10 with OoD dataset as SVHN, use the following:
python evaluate.py \
--seed 1 \
--dataset cifar10 \
--ood_dataset svhn \
--load-path /path/to/pretrained/models/ \
--model wide_resnet \
--runs 5 \
-sn -mod \
--coeff 3.0 \
--model-type softmax
Similarly, to evaluate the above model using feature density, set --model-type gmm. The evaluation script assumes that the seeds of models trained in consecutive runs differ by 1. The script stores the results in a json file with the following structure:
{
"mean": {
"accuracy": mean accuracy,
"ece": mean ECE,
"m1_auroc": mean AUROC using log density / MI for ensembles,
"m1_auprc": mean AUPRC using log density / MI for ensembles,

Results
Dirty-MNIST
To visualise DDU's performance on Dirty-MNIST (i.e., Fig. 1 of the paper), use fig_1_plot.ipynb. The notebook requires a pretrained LeNet, VGG-16 and ResNet-18 with spectral normalization trained on Dirty-MNIST and visualises the softmax entropy and feature density for Dirty-MNIST (iD) samples vs Fashion-MNIST (OoD) samples. The notebook also visualises the softmax entropies of MNIST vs Ambiguous-MNIST samples for the ResNet-18+SN model (Fig. 2 of the paper). The following figure shows the output of the notebook for the LeNet, VGG-16 and ResNet18+SN model we trained on Dirty-MNIST.

The following table presents results for a Wide-ResNet-28-10 architecture trained on CIFAR-10 with SVHN as the OoD dataset. For the full set of results, refer to the paper.
| Method | Aleatoric Uncertainty | Epistemic Uncertainty | Test Accuracy | Test ECE | AUROC |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Softmax | Softmax Entropy | Softmax Entropy | 95.98+-0.02 | 0.85+-0.02 | 94.44+-0.43 |
| Energy-based | Softmax Entropy | Softmax Density | 95.98+-0.02 | 0.85+-0.02 | 94.56+-0.51 |
| 5-Ensemble | Predictive Entropy | Predictive Entropy | 96.59+-0.02 | 0.76+-0.03 | 97.73+-0.31 |
| DDU (ours) | Softmax Entropy | GMM Density | 95.97+-0.03 | 0.85+-0.04 | 98.09+-0.10 |
Active Learning
To run active learning experiments, use active_learning_script.py. You can run active learning experiments on both MNIST as well as Dirty-MNIST. When running with Dirty-MNIST, you will need to provide a pretrained model on Dirty-MNIST to distinguish between clean MNIST and Ambiguous-MNIST samples. The following are the main command line arguments for active_learning_script.py.
--seed: seed used for initializing the first model (later experimental runs will have seeds incremented by 1)
--model: model architecture to train (resnet18)
-ambiguous: whether to use ambiguous MNIST during training. If this is set to True, the models will be trained on Dirty-MNIST, otherwise they will train on MNIST.
--dataset-root: /path/to/amnist_labels.pt and amnist_samples.pt/
--trained-model: model architecture of pretrained model to distinguish clean and ambiguous MNIST samples
-tsn: if pretrained model has been trained using spectral normalization
--tcoeff: coefficient of spectral normalization used on pretrained model
-tmod: if pretrained model has been trained using architectural modifications (leaky ReLU and average pooling on skip connections)
--saved-model-path: /path/to/saved/pretrained/model/
--saved-model-name: name of the saved pretrained model file
--threshold: Threshold of softmax entropy to decide if a sample is ambiguous (samples having higher softmax entropy than threshold will be considered ambiguous)
--subsample: number of clean MNIST samples to use to subsample clean MNIST
-sn: whether to use spectral normalization during training
--coeff: coefficient of spectral normalization during training
-mod: whether to use architectural modifications (leaky ReLU and average pooling on skip connections) during training
--al-type: type of active learning acquisition model (softmax/ensemble/gmm)
-mi: whether to use mutual information for ensemble al-type
--num-initial-samples: number of initial samples in the training set
--max-training-samples: maximum number of training samples
--acquisition-batch-size: batch size for each acquisition step
As an example, to run the active learning experiment on MNIST using the DDU method, use:
python active_learning_script.py \
--seed 1 \
--model resnet18 \
-sn -mod \
--al-type gmm
Similarly, to run the active learning experiment on Dirty-MNIST using the DDU baseline, with a pretrained ResNet-18 with SN to distinguish clean and ambiguous MNIST samples, use the following:
python active_learning_script.py \
--seed 1 \
--model resnet18 \
-sn -mod \
-ambiguous \
--dataset-root /home/user/amnist/ \
--trained-model resnet18 \
-tsn \
--saved-model-path /path/to/pretrained/model \
--saved-model-name resnet18_sn_3.0_1_350.model \
--threshold 1.0 \
--subsample 1000 \
--al-type gmm
Results
The active learning script stores all results in json files. The MNIST test set accuracy is stored in a json file with the following structure:
{
"experiment run": list of MNIST test set accuracies one per acquisition step
}
When using ambiguous samples in the pool set, the script also stores the fraction of ambiguous samples acquired in each step in the following json:
{
"experiment run": list of fractions of ambiguous samples in the acquired training set
}
Visualisation
To visualise results from the above json files, use the al_plot.ipynb notebook. The following diagram shows the performance of different baselines (softmax, ensemble PE, ensemble MI and DDU) on MNIST and Dirty-MNIST.
