This paper proposes a novel approach to open set recognition (OSR), a hierarchical method that automatically builds a hierarchy of known classes in embedding space without requiring manual relational information. The authors utilize constrained agglomerative clustering and demonstrate their method on the Animals with Attributes 2 (AwA2) dataset, achieving an AUC ROC score of 0.82 and utility score of 0.85. The approach introduces two classification methods (score-based and traversal-based) and a new Concentration Centrality (CC) metric for measuring hierarchical classification consistency.

This paper helps robots and computers see better by creating a special way to recognize unknown things. It’s called open set recognition, or OSR. Normally, we need to teach machines what something is before they can recognize it. But this new method doesn’t require that. Instead, it uses clustering to group similar things together in a hierarchy. This helps robots and computers understand what they don’t know. The paper tests its method on some animals pictures and gets good results.
