The familiarity hypothesis: Explaining the behavior of deep open set methods

作者:

Highlights:

• Open set detection using the maximum logit score of a softmax classifier matches the current state of the art.

• Familiarity Hypothesis: The Max Logit method detects the absence of familiarity rather than the presence of novelty.

• The reduced activity of positively-weighted object-relevant features accounts for most of the Max Logit score.
