Abstract: An embodiment proposed herein uses sparsification techniques to train the neural network with a high feature dimension that may yield desirable in-domain detection accuracy but may prune away dimensions in the output that are less important. Specifically, a sparsification vector is generated based on Gaussian distribution (or other probabilistic distribution) and is used to multiply with the higher dimension output to reduce the number of feature dimensions. The pruned output may be then used for the neural network to learn the sparsification vector. In this way, out-of-distribution detection accuracy can be improved.
