RICASSO: Reinforced Imbalance Learning with Class-Aware Self-Supervised Outliers Exposure

In real-world scenarios, deep learning models often face challenges from both imbalanced (long-tailed) and out-of-distribution (OOD) data. However, existing joint methods rely on real OOD data, which leads to unnecessary trade-offs. In contrast, our research shows that data mixing, a potent augmentation technique for long-tailed recognition, can generate pseudo-OOD data that exhibit the features of both in-distribution (ID) data and OOD data. Therefore, by using mixed data instead of real OOD data, we can address long-tailed recognition and OOD detection holistically. We propose a unified framework called Reinforced Imbalance Learning with Class-Aware Self-Supervised Outliers Exposure (RICASSO), where "self-supervised" denotes that we only use ID data for outlier exposure. RICASSO includes three main strategies: Norm-Odd-Duality-Based Outlier Exposure: Uses mixed data as pseudo-OOD data, enabling simultaneous ID data rebalancing and outlier exposure through a single loss function. Ambiguity-Aware Logits Adjustment: Utilizes the ambiguity of ID data to adaptively recalibrate logits. Contrastive Boundary-Center Learning: Combines Virtual Boundary Learning and Dual-Entropy Center Learning to use mixed data for better feature separation and clustering, with Representation Consistency Learning for robustness. Extensive experiments demonstrate that RICASSO achieves state-of-the-art performance in long-tailed recognition and significantly improves OOD detection compared to our baseline (27% improvement in AUROC and 61% reduction in FPR on the iNaturalist2018 dataset). On iNaturalist2018, we even outperforms methods using real OOD data. The code will be made public soon.
