Novelty Detection Through Model-Based Characterization of Neural Networks

In this paper, we propose a model-based characterization of neural networks to detect novel input types and conditions. Novelty detection is crucial to identify abnormal inputs that can significantly degrade the performance of machine learning algorithms. Majority of existing studies have focused on activation-based representations to detect abnormal inputs, which limits the characterization of abnormality from a data perspective. However, a model perspective can also be informative in terms of the novelties and abnormalities. To articulate the significance of the model perspective in novelty detection, we utilize backpropagated gradients. We conduct a comprehensive analysis to compare the representation capability of gradients with that of activation and show that the gradients outperform the activation in novel class and condition detection. We validate our approach using four image recognition datasets including MNIST, Fashion-MNIST, CIFAR-10, and CURE-TSR. We achieve a significant improvement on all four datasets with an average AUROC of 0.953, 0.918, 0.582, and 0.746, respectively.
