• Abstract: A significant limitation of one-class classification anomaly detection methods is their reliance on the assumption that unlabeled training data only contains normal instances. To overcome this impractical assumption, we propose two novel classification-based anomaly detection methods. Firstly, we introduce a semi-supervised shallow anomaly detection method based on an unbiased risk estimator. Secondly, we present a semi-supervised deep anomaly detection method utilizing a nonnegative (biased) risk estimator. We establish estimation error bounds and excess risk bounds for both risk minimizers. Additionally, we propose techniques to select appropriate regularization parameters that ensure the nonnegativity of the empirical risk in the shallow model under specific loss functions. Our extensive experiments provide strong evidence of the effectiveness of the risk-based anomaly detection methods.

  The entropic risk measure is widely used in high-stakes decision making to account for tail risks associated with an uncertain loss. To debias the empirical entropic risk estimator, we propose a strongly consistent bootstrapping procedure. We show that cross validation methods can result in significantly higher out-of-sample risk for the insurer if the bias in validation performance is not corrected for.

  Most deep anomaly detection models are based on learning normality from datasets. In practice, the normality assumption is often violated due to the nature of real data distributions. We propose a learning framework to reduce this gap and achieve better normality representation.

  Anomaly detection suffered from the lack of anomalies due to the diversity of abnormalities and the difficulties of obtaining large-scale anomaly data. We propose Adversarial Generative Anomaly Detection (AGAD), a self-contrast-based anomaly detection paradigm. Our method generates pseudo-anomaly data for both supervised and semi-supervised anomaly detection scenarios.

  Anomaly detection methods identify examples that do not follow the expected behaviour. The proportion of examples marked as anomalies equals the expected proportion of anomalies, called contamination factor. We introduce a method for estimating the posterior distribution of the contamination factor of a given unlabeled dataset.

  This study addresses a multiclass learning from label proportions (MCLLP) setting in which training instances are provided in bags. Most existing MCLLP methods impose bag-wise constraints on the prediction of instances or assign them pseudo-labels. A risk-consistent method is proposed for instance classification using the empirical risk minimization framework.
