The goal of anomaly detection is to identify examples that deviate from normal or expected behavior. We tackle this problem for images. We consider a two-phase approach. First, using normal examples, a convolutional autoencoder (CAE) is…

Anomaly detection algorithms are often thought to be limited because they don't facilitate the process of validating results performed by domain experts. In Contrast, deep learning algorithms for anomaly detection, such as autoencoders,…

Spatial perception is the backbone of many robotics applications, and spans a broad range of research problems, including localization and mapping, point cloud alignment, and relative pose estimation from camera images. Robust spatial…

We study the classic $k$-means/median clustering, which are fundamental problems in unsupervised learning, in the setting where data are partitioned across multiple sites, and where we are allowed to discard a small portion of the data by…

We present an unsupervised search for outliers in the Bright Galaxy Survey (BGS) dataset from the DESI Early Data Release. This analysis utilizes an autoencoder to compress galaxy spectra into a compact, redshift-invariant latent space, and…

In recent years, automated, supervised classification techniques have been fruitfully applied to labeling and organizing large astronomical databases. These methods require off-line classifier training, based on labeled examples from each…

Identification of anomalous light curves within time-domain surveys is often challenging. In addition, with the growing number of wide-field surveys and the volume of data produced exceeding astronomers ability for manual evaluation,…

Most of the existing methods for anomaly detection use only positive data to learn the data distribution, thus they usually need a pre-defined threshold at the detection stage to determine whether a test instance is an outlier.…

With manual searching processes, the rate at which scientists and astronomers discover exoplanets is slow because of inefficiencies that require an extensive time of laborious inspections. In fact, as of now there have been about only 5,000…

In this study we evaluate 32 unsupervised anomaly detection algorithms on 52 real-world multivariate tabular datasets, performing the largest comparison of unsupervised anomaly detection algorithms to date. On this collection of datasets,…

We present the results of a programme to search and identify the nature of unusual sources within the All-sky Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) that is based on a machine-learning algorithm for anomaly detection, namely one-class…

Detecting anomalies in time series data is important in a variety of fields, including system monitoring, healthcare, and cybersecurity. While the abundance of available methods makes it difficult to choose the most appropriate method for a…

In this work we explore the possibility of applying machine learning methods designed for one-dimensional problems to the task of galaxy image classification. The algorithms used for image classification typically rely on multiple costly…

The rapid increase in data on galaxy images at low and high redshift calls for re-examination of the classification schemes and for new automatic objective methods. Here we present a classification method by Artificial Neural Networks. We…

Galaxy clusters appear as extended sources in XMM-Newton images, but not all extended sources are clusters. So, their proper classification requires visual inspection with optical images, which is a slow process with biases that are almost…

Unsupervised learning, a branch of machine learning that can operate on unlabelled data, has proven to be a powerful tool for data exploration and discovery in astronomy. As large surveys and new telescopes drive a rapid increase in data…

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…

Forthcoming imaging surveys will potentially increase the number of known galaxy-scale strong lenses by several orders of magnitude. For this to happen, images of tens of millions of galaxies will have to be inspected to identify potential…

In recent years many works have shown that unsupervised Machine Learning (ML) can help detect unusual objects and uncover trends in large astronomical datasets, but a few challenges remain. We show here, for example, that different methods,…

Modern sky surveys are producing ever larger amounts of observational data, which makes the application of classical approaches for the classification and analysis of objects challenging and time-consuming. However, this issue may be…
