• Authors: Choubo Ding, Guansong Pang, Chunhua Shen
• Abstract summary: A few labeled anomaly examples are often available in many real-world applications. These anomaly examples provide valuable knowledge about the application-specific abnormality. Those anomalies seen during training often do not illustrate every possible class of anomaly. This paper tackles open-set supervised anomaly detection.

• Abstract: Despite most existing anomaly detection studies assume the availability of normal training samples only, a few labeled anomaly examples are often available in many real-world applications, such as defect samples identified during random quality inspection, lesion images confirmed by radiologists in daily medical screening, etc. These anomaly examples provide valuable knowledge about the application-specific abnormality, enabling significantly improved detection of similar anomalies in some recent models. However, those anomalies seen during training often do not illustrate every possible class of anomaly, rendering these models ineffective in generalizing to unseen anomaly classes. This paper tackles open-set supervised anomaly detection, in which we learn detection models using the anomaly examples with the objective to detect both seen anomalies (`gray swans') and unseen anomalies (`black swans'). We propose a novel approach that learns disentangled representations of abnormalities illustrated by seen anomalies, pseudo anomalies, and latent residual anomalies (i.e., samples that have unusual residuals compared to the normal data in a latent space), with the last two abnormalities designed to detect unseen anomalies. Extensive experiments on nine real-world anomaly detection datasets show superior performance of our model in detecting seen and unseen anomalies under diverse settings.

  Open-set supervised anomaly detection (OSAD) aims at utilizing a few samples of anomaly classes seen during training to detect unseen anomalies. We introduce a novel approach, namely Anomaly Heterogeneity Learning (AHL), that simulates a diverse set of heterogeneous anomaly distributions. We show that AHL can 1) substantially enhance different state-of-the-art OSAD models in detecting seen and unseen anomalies, and 2) effectively generalize to unseen anomalies in new domains.

  We explore fine-grained differences in anomaly encoding by designing probing tasks that vary the hierarchical level at which anomalies occur in a sentence. We test not only models' ability to detect a given anomaly, but also the generality of the detected anomaly signal. Results suggest that all models encode some information supporting anomaly detection, but detection performance varies between anomalies.

  We introduce a novel weakly-supervised anomaly detection framework to train detection models. 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.
