• Authors: Fabrizio Angiulli, Fabio Fassetti, Luca Ferragina,
• Abstract summary: This work investigates approaches to allow reconstruction error-based architectures to instruct the model to put known anomalies outside of the domain description of the normal data. Specifically, our strategy exploits a limited number of anomalous examples to increase the contrast between the reconstruction error associated with normal examples and those associated with both known and unknown anomalies.

• Abstract: Reconstruction error-based neural architectures constitute a classical deep learning approach to anomaly detection which has shown great performances. It consists in training an Autoencoder to reconstruct a set of examples deemed to represent the normality and then to point out as anomalies those data that show a sufficiently large reconstruction error. Unfortunately, these architectures often become able to well reconstruct also the anomalies in the data. This phenomenon is more evident when there are anomalies in the training set. In particular when these anomalies are labeled, a setting called semi-supervised, the best way to train Autoencoders is to ignore anomalies and minimize the reconstruction error on normal data. The goal of this work is to investigate approaches to allow reconstruction error-based architectures to instruct the model to put known anomalies outside of the domain description of the normal data. Specifically, our strategy exploits a limited number of anomalous examples to increase the contrast between the reconstruction error associated with normal examples and those associated with both known and unknown anomalies, thus enhancing anomaly detection performances. The experiments show that this new procedure achieves better performances than the standard Autoencoder approach and the main deep learning techniques for semi-supervised anomaly detection.

  A typical approach to anomaly detection is to train an autoencoder (AE) with normal data only so that it learns the patterns or representations of the normal data. We propose creating pseudo anomalies from learned adaptive noise by exploiting the weakness of AE, i.e., reconstructing anomalies too well.

We achieve a new state-of-the-art result on the MVTec AD dataset -- a challenging benchmark for visual anomaly detection in the manufacturing domain.

  Autoencoder (AE) is trained to reconstruct the input with training set consisting only of normal data. AE is then expected to well reconstruct the normal data while poorly reconstructing the anomalous data. We propose a novel methodology to train AEs with the objective of reconstructing only normal data, regardless of the input.

  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.
