用可学习扰动生成难分辨的异常样本,提升无监督检测效果
Enhancing Anomaly Detection via Generating Diversified and Hard-to-distinguish Synthetic Anomalies
- 设计条件扰动器与判别器协同生成依赖输入的合成异常
- 在图像和表格数据上均超越现有方法,尤其在无领域先验时
- 适合缺乏领域知识的场景,也支持半监督增强
无监督异常检测面临挑战,因其仅依赖训练数据中的正常模式来识别测试中未见的异常。近期方法通过领域特定变换从正常样本生成合成异常,以学习正常模式。然而,当领域变换不明确(如表格数据)或异常易区分时,这些方法受限。为此,本文提出一种无需领域知识的新方法,采用一组条件扰动器与判别器:扰动器学习生成输入相关的扰动,用于构建合成异常;判别器则学习区分正常样本与合成异常。通过两个关键策略确保异常多样且难以区分:一是使扰动相互正交,二是约束扰动保持在正常样本附近。在真实数据集上的实验表明,该方法在图像和表格数据上均优于当前最佳基准,且在半监督设置下可进一步利用监督信号提升性能。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Unsupervised anomaly detection is a daunting task, as it relies solely on normality patterns from the training data to identify unseen anomalies during testing. Recent approaches have focused on leveraging domain-specific transformations or perturbations to generate synthetic anomalies from normal samples. The objective here is to acquire insights into normality patterns by learning to differentiate between normal samples and these crafted anomalies. However, these approaches often encounter limitations when domain-specific transformations are not well-specified such as in tabular data, or when it becomes trivial to distinguish between them. To address these issues, we introduce a novel domain-agnostic method that employs a set of conditional perturbators and a discriminator. The perturbators are trained to generate input-dependent perturbations, which are subsequently utilized to construct synthetic anomalies, and the discriminator is trained to distinguish normal samples from them. We ensure that the generated anomalies are both diverse and hard to distinguish through two key strategies: i) directing perturbations to be orthogonal to each other and ii) constraining perturbations to remain in proximity to normal samples. Throughout experiments on real-world datasets, we demonstrate the superiority of our method over state-of-the-art benchmarks, which is evident not only in image data but also in tabular data, where domain-specific transformation is not readily accessible. Additionally, we empirically confirm the adaptability of our method to semi-supervised settings, demonstrating its capacity to incorporate supervised signals to enhance anomaly detection performance even further.
