Generative Models for Anomaly Detection and Its Applications

description Anomaly detection is a process for distinguishing the observations that differ in some respect from the observations that the model is trained on. Anomaly detection is one of the fundamental requirements of a good classification or identification system since sometimes the test data contains observations that were not known at the training time. In other words, the anomaly class is often is not presented during the training phase or not well defined. In light of the above, one-class classifiers and generative methods can efficiently model such problems. However, due to the unavailability of data from the abnormal class, training an end-to-end model is a challenging task itself. Therefore, detecting the anomaly classes in unsupervised and semi-supervised settings is a crucial step in such tasks. In this thesis, we propose several methods to model the anomaly detection problem in unsupervised and semi-supervised fashion. The proposed frameworks applied to different related applications of novelty and outlier detection tasks. The results show the superior of our proposed methods in compare to the baselines and existing state-of-the-art methods.
