A novel unsupervised outlier score, which can be embedded into graph based dimensionality reduction techniques, is presented in this work. The score uses the directed nearest neighbor graphs of those techniques. Hence, the same measure of…
kNN based ensemble methods minimise the effect of outliers by identifying a set of data points in the given feature space that are nearest to an unseen observation in order to predict its response by using majority voting. The ordinary…
The scores of distance-based outlier detection methods are difficult to interpret, making it challenging to determine a cut-off threshold between normal and outlier data points without additional context. We describe a generic…
Outlier ensemble methods have shown outstanding performance on the discovery of instances that are significantly different from the majority of the data. However, without the awareness of fairness, their applicability in the ethical…
An outlier is an observation or a data point that is far from rest of the data points in a given dataset or we can be said that an outlier is away from the center of mass of observations. Presence of outliers can skew statistical measures…
Given an unlabeled dataset, wherein we have access only to pairwise similarities (or distances), how can we effectively (1) detect outliers, and (2) annotate/tag the outliers by type? Outlier detection has a large literature, yet we find a…
Outliers are the points which are different from or inconsistent with the rest of the data. They can be novel, new, abnormal, unusual or noisy information. Outliers are sometimes more interesting than the majority of the data. The main…
Real-world deployment of reliable object detectors is crucial for applications such as autonomous driving. However, general-purpose object detectors like Faster R-CNN are prone to providing overconfident predictions for outlier objects.…

Among the many challenges posed by the huge data volumes produced by the new generation of astronomical instruments there is also the search for rare and peculiar objects. Unsupervised outlier detection algorithms may provide a viable…
Discriminative learning effectively predicts true object class for image classification. However, it often results in false positives for outliers, posing critical concerns in applications like autonomous driving and video surveillance…
This paper introduces a novel anomaly detection (AD) problem aimed at identifying `odd-looking' objects within a scene by comparing them to other objects present. Unlike traditional AD benchmarks with fixed anomaly criteria, our task…
Outlier explanation is the task of identifying a set of features that distinguish a sample from normal data, which is important for downstream (human) decision-making. Existing methods are based on beam search in the space of feature…
In this paper, we consider two types of robust models of the $k$-median/$k$-means problems: the outlier-version ($k$-MedO/$k$-MeaO) and the penalty-version ($k$-MedP/$k$-MeaP), in which we can mark some points as outliers and discard them.…
Random projection is a common technique for designing algorithms in a variety of areas, including information retrieval, compressive sensing and measuring of outlyingness. In this work, the original random projection outlyingness measure is…
