• Abstract: Anomaly detection aims to identify observations that deviate from the typical pattern of data. Anomalous observations may correspond to financial fraud, health risks, or incorrectly measured data in practice. We show detecting anomalies in high-dimensional mixed data is enhanced through first embedding the data then assessing an anomaly scoring scheme. We focus on unsupervised detection and the continuous and categorical (mixed) variable case. We propose a kurtosis-weighted Factor Analysis of Mixed Data for anomaly detection, FAMDAD, to obtain a continuous embedding for anomaly scoring. We illustrate that anomalies are highly separable in the first and last few ordered dimensions of this space, and test various anomaly scoring experiments within this subspace. Results are illustrated for both simulated and real datasets, and the proposed approach (FAMDAD) is highly accurate for high-dimensional mixed data throughout these diverse scenarios.

Our method generates pseudo-anomaly data for both supervised and semi-supervised anomaly detection scenarios.

The proposed approach learns discriminative normality by leveraging the labeled anomalies and a prior probability. Our model is substantially more sample-efficient and robust, and performs significantly better than state-of-the-art competing methods in both closed-set and open-set settings.

  We consider the problem of anomaly detection with a small set of partially labeled anomaly examples and a large-scale unlabeled dataset. Existing related methods either exclusively fit the limited anomaly examples that typically do not span the entire set of anomalies, or proceed with unsupervised learning from the unlabeled data. We propose here instead a deep reinforcement learning-based approach that enables an end-to-end optimization of the detection of both labeled and unlabeled anomalies.
