Learning to Explore: Policy-Guided Outlier Synthesis for Graph Out-of-Distribution Detection

Description

Detecting out-of-distribution (OOD) graphs is crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of Graph Neural Networks. In unsupervised graph-level OOD detection, models are typically trained using only in-distribution (ID) data, resulting in incomplete feature space characterization and weak decision boundaries. Although synthesizing outliers offers a promising solution, existing approaches rely on fixed, non-adaptive sampling heuristics (e.g., distance- or density-based), limiting their abilit
