Connective Reconstruction-based Novelty Detection

Detection of out-of-distribution samples is one of the critical tasks for real-world applications of computer vision. The advancement of deep learning has enabled us to analyze real-world data which contain unexplained samples, accentuating the need to detect out-of-distribution instances more than before. GAN-based approaches have been widely used to address this problem due to their ability to perform distribution fitting; however, they are accompanied by training instability and mode collapse. We propose a simple yet efficient reconstruction-based method that avoids adding complexities to compensate for the limitations of GAN models while outperforming them. Unlike previous reconstruction-based works that only utilize reconstruction error or generated samples, our proposed method simultaneously incorporates both of them in the detection task. Our model, which we call "Connective Novelty Detection" has two subnetworks, an autoencoder, and a binary classifier. The autoencoder learns the representation of the positive class by reconstructing them. Then, the model creates negative and connected positive examples using real and generated samples. Negative instances are generated via manipulating the real data, so their distribution is close to the positive class to achieve a more accurate boundary for the classifier. To boost the robustness of the detection to reconstruction error, connected positive samples are created by combining the real and generated samples. Finally, the binary classifier is trained using connected positive and negative examples. We demonstrate a considerable improvement in novelty detection over state-of-the-art methods on MNIST and Caltech-256 datasets.
