• Abstract: The detection of anomalous behaviours is an emerging need in many applications, particularly in contexts where security and reliability are critical aspects. While the definition of anomaly strictly depends on the domain framework, it is often impractical or too time consuming to obtain a fully labelled dataset. The use of unsupervised models to overcome the lack of labels often fails to catch domain specific anomalies as they rely on general definitions of outlier. This paper suggests a new active learning based approach, ALIF, to solve this problem by reducing the number of required labels and tuning the detector towards the definition of anomaly provided by the user. The proposed approach is particularly appealing in the presence of a Decision Support System (DSS), a case that is increasingly popular in real-world scenarios. While it is common that DSS embedded with anomaly detection capabilities rely on unsupervised models, they don't have a way to improve their performance: ALIF is able to enhance the capabilities of DSS by exploiting the user feedback during common operations. ALIF is a lightweight modification of the popular Isolation Forest that proved superior performances with respect to other state-of-art algorithms in a multitude of real anomaly detection datasets.

  Industrial anomaly detection is crucial for quality control and predictive maintenance. Existing methods commonly detect structural anomalies, such as dents and scratches, by leveraging multi-scale features from image patches extracted through deep pre-trained networks. We address these limitations by focusing on Deep Feature Reconstruction (DFR), a memory- and compute-efficient approach for detecting structural anomalies. We further enhance DFR into a unified framework, called ULSAD, which is capable of detecting both structural and logical anomalies.

  Current methods in log anomaly detection face challenges such as underutilization of unlabeled data, imbalance between normal and anomaly class data, and high rates of false positives and false negatives. We propose a semi-supervised log anomaly detection method named DQNLog, which integrates deep reinforcement learning to enhance anomaly detection performance. We evaluate DQNLog on three widely used datasets, demonstrating its ability to effectively utilize large-scale unlabeled data.

  Video anomaly detection (VAD) with weak supervision has achieved remarkable performance in utilizing video-level labels to discriminate whether a video frame is normal or abnormal. Recent studies attempt to tackle a more realistic setting, open-set VAD, which aims to detect unseen anomalies given seen anomalies and normal videos. This paper takes a step further and explores open-vocabulary video anomaly detection (OVVAD), in which we aim to leverage pre-trained large models to detect and categorize seen and unseen anomalies.
