CA2: Class-Agnostic Adaptive Feature Adaptation for One-class Classification

원문 초록

One-class classification (OCC), i.e., identifying whether an example belongs to the same distribution as the training data, is essential for deploying machine learning models in the real world. Adapting the pre-trained features on the target dataset has proven to be a promising paradigm for improving OCC performance. Existing methods are constrained by assumptions about the number of classes. This contradicts the real scenario where the number of classes is unknown. In this work, we propose a simple class-agnostic adaptive feature adaptation method (CA2). We generalize the center-based method to unknown classes and optimize this objective based on the prior existing in the pre-trained network, i.e., pre-trained features that belong to the same class are adjacent. CA2 is validated to consistently improve OCC performance across a spectrum of training data classes, spanning from 1 to 1024, outperforming current state-of-the-art methods.
