• Abstract: Early detection of anomalies in medical images such as brain MRI is highly relevant for diagnosis and treatment of many conditions. Supervised machine learning methods are limited to a small number of pathologies where there is good availability of labeled data. In contrast, unsupervised anomaly detection (UAD) has the potential to identify a broader spectrum of anomalies by spotting deviations from normal patterns. Our research demonstrates that existing state-of-the-art UAD approaches do not generalise well to diverse types of anomalies in realistic multi-modal MR data. To overcome this, we introduce a new UAD method named Aggregated Normative Diffusion (ANDi). ANDi operates by aggregating differences between predicted denoising steps and ground truth backwards transitions in Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) that have been trained on pyramidal Gaussian noise. We validate ANDi against three recent UAD baselines, and across three diverse brain MRI datasets. We show that ANDi, in some cases, substantially surpasses these baselines and shows increased robustness to varying types of anomalies. Particularly in detecting multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions, ANDi achieves improvements of up to 178% in terms of AUPRC.

  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.

  Time-series anomaly detection methods assume that only normal samples are available during the training phase. Supervised methods can be utilized to classify normal and seen anomalies, but they tend to overfit to the seen anomalies during training. We propose the first algorithm to address the open-set TSAD problem, called Multivariate Open-Set Time-Series Anomaly Detector (MOSAD) MOSAD is a novel multi-head TSAD framework with a shared representation space and specialized heads, including the Generative head, the Discriminative head, and the Anomaly-Aware Contrastive head.
