Robustness to outliers is a central issue in real-world machine learning applications. While replacing a model to a heavy-tailed one (e.g., from Gaussian to Student-t) is a standard approach for robustification, it can only be applied to…
This article introduces trimmed estimators for the mean and covariance function of general functional data. The estimators are based on a new measure of outlyingness or data depth that is well defined on any metric space, although this…
There has been extensive work on data depth-based methods for robust multivariate data analysis. Recent developments have moved to infinite-dimensional objects such as functional data. In this work, we propose a new notion of depth, the…
Smart metering infrastructures collect data almost continuously in the form of fine-grained long time series. These massive data series often have common daily patterns that are repeated between similar days or seasons and shared among…
We propose a new method to visualize and detect shape outliers in samples of curves. In functional data analysis we observe curves defined over a given real interval and shape outliers are those curves that exhibit a different shape from…
This study addresses an important gap in time series outlier detection by proposing a novel problem setting: long-term outlier prediction. Conventional methods primarily focus on immediate detection by identifying deviations from normal…
This paper consider considers the problem of locating a two dimensional target from range-measurements containing outliers. Assuming that the number of outlier is known, we formulate the problem of minimizing inlier losses while ignoring…
In different fields of applications including, but not limited to, behavioral, environmental, medical sciences and econometrics, the use of panel data regression models has become increasingly popular as a general framework for making…
The robust adjustment of nonlinear models to data is considered in this paper. When data comes from real experiments, it is possible that measurement errors cause the appearance of discrepant values, which should be ignored when adjusting…
This paper studies the construction of p-values for nonparametric outlier detection, taking a multiple-testing perspective. The goal is to test whether new independent samples belong to the same distribution as a reference data set or are…
The popularity of algorithms based on Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), which can be used to train Single Layer Feedforward Neural Networks (SLFN), has increased in the past years. They have been successfully applied to a wide range of…
Outlier-robust estimation is a fundamental problem and has been extensively investigated by statisticians and practitioners. The last few years have seen a convergence across research fields towards "algorithmic robust statistics", which…
We introduce a general framework for the reconstruction of vector-valued functions from finite and possibly noisy data, acquired through a known measurement operator. The reconstruction is done by the minimization of a loss functional…
In this article, we consider control theoretic splines with L1 optimization for rejecting outliers in data. Control theoretic splines are either interpolating or smoothing splines, depending on a cost function with a constraint defined by…
Ordinary least square (OLS) estimation of a linear regression model is well-known to be highly sensitive to outliers. It is common practice to (1) identify and remove outliers by looking at the data and (2) to fit OLS and form confidence…
Normalizing flows are prominent deep generative models that provide tractable probability distributions and efficient density estimation. However, they are well known to fail while detecting Out-of-Distribution (OOD) inputs as they directly…
Detecting a small number of outliers from a set of data observations is always challenging. This problem is more difficult in the setting of multiple network samples, where computing the anomalous degree of a network sample is generally not…
We consider the problem of outlier robust PCA (OR-PCA) where the goal is to recover principal directions despite the presence of outlier data points. That is, given a data matrix $M^*$, where $(1-\alpha)$ fraction of the points are noisy…
Tensor-on-tensor (TOT) regression is an important tool for the analysis of tensor data, aiming to predict a set of response tensors from a corresponding set of predictor tensors. However, standard TOT regression is sensitive to outliers,…
Most multivariate outlier detection procedures ignore the spatial dependency of observations, which is present in many real data sets from various application areas. This paper introduces a new outlier detection method that accounts for a…
