• Abstract: Anomaly detection focuses on identifying samples that deviate from the norm. When working with high-dimensional data such as images, a crucial requirement for detecting anomalous patterns is learning lower-dimensional representations that capture concepts of normality. Recent advances in self-supervised learning have shown great promise in this regard. However, many successful self-supervised anomaly detection methods assume prior knowledge about anomalies to create synthetic outliers during training. Yet, in real-world applications, we often do not know what to expect from unseen data, and we can solely leverage knowledge about normal data. In this work, we propose Con$_2$, which learns representations through context augmentations that allow us to observe samples from two distinct perspectives while keeping the invariances of normal data. Con$_2$ learns rich representations of context-augmented samples by clustering them according to their context while simultaneously aligning their positions across clusters. At test time, representations of anomalies that do not adhere to the invariances of normal data then deviate from their respective context cluster. Learning representations in such a way thus allows us to detect anomalies without making assumptions about anomalous data.

  Recent approaches have focused on leveraging domain-specific transformations or perturbations to generate synthetic anomalies from normal samples. We introduce a novel domain-agnostic method that employs a set of conditional perturbators and a discriminator. We demonstrate the superiority of our method over state-of-the-art benchmarks.

  Anomaly detection is to recognize samples that differ in some respect from the training observations. Recent state-of-the-art deep learning-based anomaly detection methods suffer from high computational cost, complexity, unstable training procedures, and non-trivial implementation. We leverage a simple learning procedure that trains a lightweight convolutional neural network, reaching state-of-the-art performance in anomaly detection.

The proposed approach learns discriminative normality by leveraging the labeled anomalies and a prior probability. Our model is substantially more sample-efficient and robust, and performs significantly better than state-of-the-art competing methods in both closed-set and open-set settings.

  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.
