Unsupervised Evaluation of Out-of-distribution Detection: A Data-centric Perspective
Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection methods assume that they have test ground truths, i.e., whether individual test samples are in-distribution (IND) or OOD. However, in the real world, we do not always have such ground truths, and thus do not know which sample is correctly detected and cannot compute the metric like AUROC to evaluate the performance of different OOD detection methods. In this paper, we are the first to introduce the unsupervised evaluation problem in OOD detection, which aims to evaluate OOD detection methods in real-world changing environments without OOD labels. We propose three methods to compute Gscore as an unsupervised indicator of OOD detection performance. We further introduce a new benchmark Gbench, which has 200 real-world OOD datasets of various label spaces to train and evaluate our method. Through experiments, we find a strong quantitative correlation betwwen Gscore and the OOD detection performance. Extensive experiments demonstrate that our Gscore achieves state-of-the-art performance. Gscore also generalizes well with different IND/OOD datasets, OOD detection methods, backbones and dataset sizes. We further provide interesting analyses of the effects of backbones and IND/OOD datasets on OOD detection performance. The data and code will be available.
