• Abstract summary: Autoencoder (AE) is typically trained to reconstruct the data. During test time, since AE is not trained using real anomalies, it is expected to poorly reconstruct the anomalous data. We propose to limit the reconstruction capability of AE by introducing a novel latent constriction loss.

• Abstract: In order to devise an anomaly detection model using only normal training data, an autoencoder (AE) is typically trained to reconstruct the data. As a result, the AE can extract normal representations in its latent space. During test time, since AE is not trained using real anomalies, it is expected to poorly reconstruct the anomalous data. However, several researchers have observed that it is not the case. In this work, we propose to limit the reconstruction capability of AE by introducing a novel latent constriction loss, which is added to the existing reconstruction loss. By using our method, no extra computational cost is added to the AE during test time. Evaluations using three video anomaly detection benchmark datasets, i.e., Ped2, Avenue, and ShanghaiTech, demonstrate the effectiveness of our method in limiting the reconstruction capability of AE, which leads to a better anomaly detection model.

• Exploiting Autoencoder's Weakness to Generate Pseudo Anomalies [17.342474659784823]
  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 propose a Light and Anti-overfitting Retraining Approach (LARA) for deep variational auto-encoder based time series anomaly detection methods (VAEs) This work aims to make three novel contributions: 1) the retraining process is formulated as a convex problem and can converge at a fast rate as well as prevent overfitting; 2) designing a ruminate block, which leverages the historical data without the need to store them; and 3) mathematically proving that when fine-tuning the latent vector and reconstructed data, the linear formations can achieve the least adjusting errors between the ground truths and the fine-tuned ones.

  Autoencoders (AEs) often start reconstructing anomalies as well which depletes their anomaly detection performance. We propose a temporal pseudo anomaly synthesizer that generates fake-anomalies using only normal data. An AE is then trained to maximize the reconstruction loss on pseudo anomalies while minimizing this loss on normal data.
