Autoencoder Watchdog Outlier Detection for Classifiers

24 Oct 2020  ·  Justin Bui, Robert J Marks II ·

Neural networks have often been described as black boxes. A generic neural network trained to differentiate between kittens and puppies will classify a picture of a kumquat as a kitten or a puppy. An autoencoder watch dog screens trained classifier/regression machine input candidates before processing, e.g. to first test whether the neural network input is a puppy or a kitten. Preliminary results are presented using convolutional neural networks and convolutional autoencoder watchdogs using MNIST images.
