In out-of-distribution (OOD) detection, fine-tuning with auxiliary outlier data often improves detection performance at the cost of classification accuracy. This trade-off stems from the loss of the original in-distribution (ID) distribution during fine-tuning. To establish a more practical and effective paradigm, we optimize three critical factors: model reminder, data sampling, and representation learning. We propose: (1) Self-Knowledge Distillation (SKD) to mitigate accuracy reduction; (2) Semi-hard Outlier Sampling (SOS) to improve detection efficiency with minimal data; and (3) Outlier-aware Supervised Contrastive Learning (OSCL) to promote ID-OOD separability. Optimizing these factors produces cumulative gains, boosting both OOD detection performance and classification accuracy. Our framework outperforms existing methods across diverse benchmarks, particularly in long-tailed scenarios, providing a robust baseline for real-world OOD detection.
This publication proposes a definition and a classification of agile software development approaches and analyses ten software development methods that can be characterized as being "agile" against the defined criterion.

The study shows that agile practices improve both informal and formal communication, but indicates that, in larger development situations involving multiple external stakeholders, a mismatch of adequate communication mechanisms can sometimes even hinder the communication.

The possibility of inferring high-dimensional data inference in a model that consists of a prior and an auxiliary differentiable constraint given some additional information is considered, thereby allowing a range of potential applications in adapting models to new domains and tasks.

It is proved that any global minimizer of the trajectory balance objective can define a policy that samples exactly from the target distribution, and empirically demonstrate the benefits of the trajectories balance objective for GFlowNet convergence, diversity of generated samples, and robustness to long action sequences and large action spaces.

Radiology AI is evolving beyond report generation. CARE-X explores a unified approach that combines flexible reasoning, calibrated predictions, and measurement-based tools for chest X-ray interpretation. The post Introducing CARE-X: Towards Clinically Useful Radiology VLMs with Auxiliary Supervision, Reward-Aligned Learning, and Tool-Augmented Measurement appeared first on Microsoft Research.
