Outliers are ubiquitous in modern data sets. Distance-based techniques are a popular non-parametric approach to outlier detection as they require no prior assumptions on the data generating distribution and are simple to implement. Scaling…
Outlier recognition is a fundamental problem in data analysis and has attracted a great deal of attention in the past decades. However, most existing methods still suffer from several issues such as high time and space complexities or…
Over the decades, traditional outlier detectors have ignored the group-level factor when calculating outlier scores for objects in data by evaluating only the object-level factor, failing to capture the collective outliers. To mitigate this…
This paper presents a simple but effective density-based outlier detection approach with the local kernel density estimation (KDE). A Relative Density-based Outlier Score (RDOS) is introduced to measure the local outlierness of objects, in…

Many machine learning classification systems lack competency awareness. Specifically, many systems lack the ability to identify when outliers (e.g., samples that are distinct from and not represented in the training data distribution) are…
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…
Outlier detection is an inevitable step to most statistical data analyses. However, the mere detection of an outlying case does not always answer all scientific questions associated with that data point. Outlier detection techniques,…
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…
In epidemic modeling, outliers can distort parameter estimation and ultimately lead to misguided public health decisions. Although there are existing robust methods that can mitigate this distortion, the ability to simultaneously detect…
Machine learning and data analysis have been used in many robotics fields, especially for modelling. Data are usually the result of sensor measurements and, as such, they might be subjected to noise and outliers. The presence of outliers…

Reliable outlier detection in high-dimensional data is crucial in modern science, yet it remains a challenging task. Traditional methods often break down in these settings due to their reliance on asymptotic behaviors with respect to sample…
There exist multiple methods to detect outliers in multivariate data in the literature, but most of them require to estimate the covariance matrix. The higher the dimension, the more complex the estimation of the matrix becoming impossible…
The task of outlier detection is to find small groups of data objects that are exceptional when compared with rest large amount of data. Detection of such outliers is important for many applications such as fraud detection and customer…
Distance-based outlier detection is widely adopted in many fields, e.g., data mining and machine learning, because it is unsupervised, can be employed in a generic metric space, and does not have any assumptions of data distributions. Data…
We propose a new outlier detection method for multi-dimensional data. The method detects outliers based on vector cosine similarity, using a new dataset constructed by adding a dimension with zero values to the original data. When a point…
