Layerwise “surprise” signal for OOD detection [R]

r/MachineLearning

Hey everyone, Nervecode is a small PyTorch-based OOD detection idea that adds lightweight observe-only wrappers to selected layers and produces a layerwise “surprise” signal during the normal forward pass. On MNIST→FashionMNIST it hit.992 AUROC, outperforming Energy and MSP. The layerwise breakdown shows which layers diverge under distribution shift, that output-only detectors can't provide. submitted by /u/Temporary-Oven6788 [link] [comments]
