Abstract: Described, herein, relates to a system of and method for digitally monitoring a large-scale dataset on a computing device and automatically detecting, in real-time, unknown class data in order to aid a machine learning model. Once machine learning models are deployed in the real-world applications, the models tend to encounter unknown-class (i.e., out-of-distribution) (hereinafter “OOD”) data during inference. Detecting out-of-distribution data is a crucial task in safety-critical applications to ensure safe deployment of deep learning models. It is desired that the machine learning model should only be confident about the type of data that has already seen in-distribution (hereinafter “ID”) class data which reinforces the driving principle of the OOD detection. The system and method may rely on contrastive feature learning of the largescale datasets, where the embeddings lie on a compact low-dimensional space.

Abstract: A query image is received, along with a query to initiate a search process to find other images based on the query image. The query includes a preference value associated with an attribute, the preference value indicative of a level of emphasis to be placed on the attribute during the search. A full query vector, which is within a first dimensional space and representative of the query image, is generated. The full query vector is projected to a reduced dimensional space having a dimensionality lower than the first dimensional space, to generate a query vector. An attribute direction corresponding to the attribute is identified. A plurality of candidate vectors of the reduced dimensional space is searched, based on the attribute direction, the query vector, and the preference value, to identify a target vector of the plurality of candidate vectors. A target image, representative of the target vector, is displayed.
