subspace anomaly detection

2012.ICDM.Outlier Detection in Arbitrarily Oriented Subspaces(Correlation Outlier Probability (COP))[pdf]

• determine whether an object is anomalous on arbitrarily oriented subspaces spanned by its neighbors.

2013.CIKM.Flexible and adaptive subspace search for outlier analysis [pdf]

• utilize the differences of outlier scores in random subspaces to perform a combinatorial refinement of relevant subspaces.

subspace

2013.CIKM.Flexible and adaptive subspace search for outlier analysis [pdf]

• find a subspace which maximizes differences in outlier score distributions of all points across subspaces

visualize

2019.ECML PKDD.Beyond outlier detection: lookout for pictorial explanation[pdf,code]

• use a set of focus-plots, each of which “blames” or “explains away” a subset of the input outliers.

others

1999.VLDB.Finding intensional knowledge of distance-based outliers[pdf]

• define the outlier categories C = {“trivial outlier,” “weak outlier,” “strongest outlier”} to help gain better insights about the nature of outliers.
