• Abstract: Machine learning techniques can automatically identify outliers in massive datasets, much faster and more reproducible than human inspection ever could. But finding such outliers immediately leads to the question: which features render this input anomalous? We propose a new feature attribution method, Inverse Multiscale Occlusion, that is specifically designed for outliers, for which we have little knowledge of the type of features we want to identify and expect that the model performance is questionable because anomalous test data likely exceed the limits of the training data. We demonstrate our method on outliers detected in galaxy spectra from the Dark Energy Survey Instrument and find its results to be much more interpretable than alternative attribution approaches.

  Out-of-distribution (OOD) detection is important for deploying reliable machine learning models on real-world applications. Recent advances in outlier exposure have shown promising results on OOD detection via fine-tuning model with informatively sampled auxiliary outliers. We propose a novel framework, namely, Diversified Outlier Exposure (DivOE), for effective OOD detection via informative extrapolation based on the given auxiliary outliers.

  Open-set semi-supervised learning (Open-set SSL) considers a more practical scenario, where unlabeled data and test data contain new categories (outliers) not observed in labeled data (inliers) We introduce evidential deep learning (EDL) as an outlier detector to quantify different types of uncertainty, and design different uncertainty metrics for self-training and inference. We propose a novel adaptive negative optimization strategy, making EDL more tailored to the unlabeled dataset containing both inliers and outliers.

• Deep Visual Anomaly detection with Negative Learning [18.79849041106952]
  In this paper, we propose anomaly detection with negative learning (ADNL), which employs the negative learning concept for the enhancement of anomaly detection. The idea is to limit the reconstruction capability of a generative model using the given a small amount of anomaly examples. This way, the network not only learns to reconstruct normal data but also encloses the normal distribution far from the possible distribution of anomalies.

• Toward Deep Supervised Anomaly Detection: Reinforcement Learning from Partially Labeled Anomaly Data [150.9270911031327]
  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.

  Anomaly detection at scale is an extremely challenging problem of great practicality. Recent work has coalesced on variations of (random) $k$emphd-trees to summarise data for anomaly detection. These methods rely on ad-hoc score functions that are not easy to interpret. We contextualise these methods in a probabilistic framework which we call the Mondrian Polya Forest.
