The paper proposes a novel out-of-distribution (OOD) detection approach that employs an overlap index (OI)-based confidence score function. This non-parametric, lightweight, and interpretable method evaluates the likelihood of a given input belonging to the same distribution as available in-distribution (ID) samples. The proposed OI-based OOD detector is competitive with state-of-the-art detectors in terms of detection accuracy on various datasets while requiring less computational resources.

The paper is about finding out when something doesn’t fit into what we know. This is important because we can’t just use machines that learn to do things without checking if they are making sense or not. The current ways of doing this have some problems, like being slow or needing a lot of adjusting. So, the researchers came up with a new way using something called an overlap index (OI). It’s easy to understand and doesn’t require a lot of computer power. They tested it on many different datasets and found that it worked just as well as other methods, but was faster and used less memory.
