• Abstract: This paper aims to conduct a comparative analysis of contemporary Variational Autoencoder (VAE) architectures employed in anomaly detection, elucidating their performance and behavioral characteristics within this specific task. The architectural configurations under consideration encompass the original VAE baseline, the VAE with a Gaussian Random Field prior (VAE-GRF), and the VAE incorporating a vision transformer (ViT-VAE). The findings reveal that ViT-VAE exhibits exemplary performance across various scenarios, whereas VAE-GRF may necessitate more intricate hyperparameter tuning to attain its optimal performance state. Additionally, to mitigate the propensity for over-reliance on results derived from the widely used MVTec dataset, this paper leverages the recently-public MiAD dataset for benchmarking. This deliberate inclusion seeks to enhance result competitiveness by alleviating the impact of domain-specific models tailored exclusively for MVTec, thereby contributing to a more robust evaluation framework.

  This study introduces Adversarial Variational Bayes (AVB) algorithms as an improvement to VAEs for item factor analysis. AVB incorporates an auxiliary discriminator network to reframe the estimation process as a two-player adversarial game. A further enhanced algorithm, Importance-weighted Adversarial Variational Bayes (IWAVB) is proposed and compared with Importance-weighted Autoencoders (IWAE)
