• Abstract: Anomaly Detection is an important problem within computer vision, having variety of real-life applications. Yet, the current set of solutions to this problem entail known, systematic shortcomings. Specifically, contemporary surface Anomaly Detection task assumes the presence of multiple specific anomaly classes e.g. cracks, rusting etc., unlike one-class classification model of past. However, building a deep learning model in such setup remains a challenge because anomalies arise rarely, and hence anomaly samples are quite scarce. Transfer learning has been a preferred paradigm in such situations. But the typical source domains with large dataset sizes e.g. ImageNet, JFT-300M, LAION-2B do not correlate well with the domain of surfaces and materials, an important premise of transfer learning. In this paper, we make an important hypothesis and show, by exhaustive experimentation, that the space of anomaly-free visual patterns of the normal samples correlates well with each of the various spaces of anomalous patterns of the class-specific anomaly samples. The first results of using this hypothesis in transfer learning have indeed been quite encouraging. We expect that finding such a simple closeby domain that readily entails large number of samples, and which also oftentimes shows interclass separability though with narrow margins, will be a useful discovery. Especially, it is expected to improve domain adaptation for anomaly detection, and few-shot learning for anomaly detection, making in-the-wild anomaly detection realistically possible in future.

Most of the existing anomaly detection methods focus on learning the normal behaviour of unlabelled time series in an unsupervised manner.

• Few-shot Deep Representation Learning based on Information Bottleneck Principle [0.0]
  In a standard anomaly detection problem, a detection model is trained in an unsupervised setting, under an assumption that the samples were generated from a single source of normal data. In practice, normal data often consist of multiple classes. In such settings, learning to differentiate between normal instances and anomalies among discrepancies between normal classes without large-scale labeled data presents a significant challenge. In this work, we attempt to overcome this challenge by preparing few examples from each normal class, which is not excessively costly.

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.
