Anomaly detection is the task of identifying rarely occurring (i.e. anormal or anomalous) samples that differ from almost all other samples in a dataset. As the patterns of anormal samples are usually not known a priori, this task is highly…

Anomaly detection methods are widely used but often rely on ad hoc rules or strong assumptions, and they often focus on tail events, missing ``inlier'' anomalies that occur in low-density gaps between modes. We propose a unified framework…
