Abstract

Self-supervised representation learning has proved to be a valuable component for out-of-distribution (OoD) detection with only the texts of in-distribution (ID) examples. These approaches either train a language model from scratch or fine-tune a pre-trained language model using ID examples, and then take perplexity as output by the language model as OoD scores. In this paper, we analyse the complementary characteristics of both OoD detection methods and propose a multi-level knowledge distillation approach to integrate their strengths, while mitigating their limitations. Specifically, we use a fine-tuned model as the teacher to teach a randomly initialized student model on the ID examples. Besides the prediction layer distillation, we present a similarity-based intermediate layer distillation method to facilitate the student's awareness of the information flow inside the teacher's layers. In this way, the derived student model gains the teacher's rich knowledge about the ID data manifold due to pre-training, while benefiting from seeing only ID examples during parameter learning, which promotes more distinguishable features for OoD detection. We conduct extensive experiments over multiple benchmark datasets, i.e., CLINC150, SST, 20 NewsGroups, and AG News; showing that the proposed method yields new state-of-the-art performance.
