Diffusion Denoising Process for Perceptron Bias in Out-of-distribution Detection

This repo is the official PyTorch implementation for the paper Diffusion Denoising Process for Perceptron Bias in Out-of-distribution Detection

by Luping Liu, Yi Ren, Xize Cheng, Zhou Zhao (Zhejiang University).

What does this work do?

In this work, we provide a new perceptron bias assumption that the discriminator models are more sensitive to some subareas to explain the overconfidence problem. Our detection methods combine the discriminator and generation models, which uses a ResNet to extract features and the diffusion denoising process of a diffusion model (with classifier-free guidance) to reduce overconfidence areas. Our methods get competitive OOD detection results with SOTA methods.

Code structure

• Model: DDIM, iDDPM
• Dataset: Cifar10, Cifar100
• Runner:
  • runner: basic training and sampling
  • ood_detection: diffusion-based OOD detection

How to run the code

Dependencies

Run the following to install necessary python packages for our code.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

Train the diffusion models through main.py.

python main.py --runner training --config config/ddim_cifar10_cond.yml --train_path temp/train/base_multi
torchrun --nproc_per_node 2 main.py --runner training --config config/ddim_cifar10_cond.yml --train_path temp/train/base_multi

• runner: choose the mode of runner
• device: choose the device to use
• config: choose the config file
• train_path: choose the path to save training status

Evaluate the diffusion models through main.py.

python main.py --runner fid --method PNDM4 --sample_step 50 --device cuda --config config/ddim_cifar10_cond.yml \
  --image_path temp/sample --model_path temp/models/ddim/ema_cifar10.ckpt

• method: choose the numerical methods
• sample_step: control the total generation step
• image_path: choose the path to save images
• model_path: choose the path of diffusion model

Generate samples for OOD detection through main.py.

python main.py --runner detection --config config/32_cifar10_cond.yml --method DDIM --sample_step 50 \
  --model_path temp/model/ddim_cifar10_cond.ckpt --disc_path temp/model/res18_cifar10_disc.ckpt --repeat_size 4

• disc_path: choose the path of discriminator model
• repeat_size: choose the number of repeat samples

Compute OOD detection results through detect.py.

python detect/ood_detect.py --id_name cifar10 --space logit  --repeat_size 4

• id_name: choose the name for in-distribution datasets
• space: choose the detection space generated by the discriminator model
