A Robust Out-of-Distribution Detection Framework via Synergistic Smoothing

ArXi:2605.08191v1 Announce Type: cross Reliable out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is a critical requirement for the safe deployment of machine learning systems. Despite recent progress, state-of-the-art OOD detectors are highly susceptible to adversarial attacks, which undermines their trustworthiness in automated systems. To address this vulnerability, we apply median smoothing to baseline OOD detection scores, balancing clean and adversarial accuracies.
