A Systematic Comparison of Training Objectives for Out-of-Distribution Detection in Image Classification

This paper systematically evaluates four training objectives—Cross-Entropy, Prototype, Triplet, and Average Precision Losses—for out-of-distribution detection in image classification, revealing that while they achieve comparable in-distribution accuracy, Cross-Entropy Loss delivers the most consistent performance across both near- and far-OOD scenarios under standardized protocols.
