The results speak for themselves! 🏆

GROOD achieves SOTA performance on major benchmarks. Highlights:

🔹 84.44% Far-OOD AUROC on CIFAR-100

🔹 94.8% Far-OOD AUROC on ImageNet-1K

🔹 Robust on Transformers (ViT & Swin-T) where others fail!

A picture is worth a thousand words. 📸

While the standard feature space (left) is messy, our gradient-aware space (right) creates a much clearer separation between In-Distribution (blue) and OOD (red/orange) samples!

What's the secret sauce? ✨

Instead of just feature distance, GROOD uses a synthetic OOD prototype to measure a sample's gradient sensitivity.
ID samples are stable, while OOD samples are sensitive. This creates a powerful, clear signal for detection!
