Verdict Instability of OOD Scores under Reference Resampling

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 1, 2026 · UTC

Post-hoc out-of-distribution detectors are fitted on a finite reference set, so every score they produce is an estimate. If we had chosen a different set, some verdicts would have moved. We measure that movement by resampling the reference set and recording the bootstrap standard deviation of the score, which we call verdict instability. It admits a closed form with no fitted parameters. The instability of a verdict is the within-class dispersion of the assigned class along the query's direction, divided by the square root of that class's reference count. That count is what separates verdict i
