StyleGAN2-based Out-of-Distribution Detection for Medical Imaging [PDF]
Proceedings of Med-NeurIPS 2022, 2023 One barrier to the clinical deployment of deep learning-based models is the presence of images at runtime that lie far outside the training distribution of a given model. We aim to detect these out-of-distribution (OOD) images with a generative adversarial network (GAN).
