首次构建无监督域适应下的异常检测框架,利用异常稀少特性提升鲁棒性。

When Unsupervised Domain Adaptation meets One-class Anomaly Detection: Addressing the Two-fold Unsupervised Curse by Leveraging Anomaly Scarcity

  • 基于异常稀少假设,通过聚类识别目标域主正常簇并对其对齐。
  • 在多个基准上显著提升异常检测性能,尤其在域偏移场景下效果明显。
  • 适合关注真实世界异常检测的工程师与研究人员,特别是无标签场景。

本文提出首个完全无监督的域自适应(UDA)异常检测框架。现实场景中,域偏移导致现有无监督异常检测(UAD)方法性能严重下降,而传统域自适应策略在该任务中不适用,原因在于两个任务均无监督,形成双重无监督困境。我们首次明确这一问题为“双重无监督诅咒”,并提出创新解法:假设异常样本稀少。通过聚类在目标域特征空间中识别出主导簇,并将其视为正常簇,与源域正常特征进行联合对齐。具体地,在仅有单类源数据和包含多数正常数据及少量异常的无标签目标数据下,将源特征拟合于超球体,同时对齐至目标域主导簇。大量实验验证了新范式与所提方法的有效性,代码将公开。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This paper introduces the first fully unsupervised domain adaptation (UDA) framework for unsupervised anomaly detection (UAD). The performance of UAD techniques degrades significantly in the presence of a domain shift, difficult to avoid in a real-world setting. While UDA has contributed to solving this issue in binary and multi-class classification, such a strategy is ill-posed in UAD. This might be explained by the unsupervised nature of the two tasks, namely, domain adaptation and anomaly detection. Herein, we first formulate this problem that we call the two-fold unsupervised curse. Then, we propose a pioneering solution to this curse, considered intractable so far, by assuming that anomalies are rare. Specifically, we leverage clustering techniques to identify a dominant cluster in the target feature space. Posed as the normal cluster, the latter is aligned with the source normal features. Concretely, given a one-class source set and an unlabeled target set composed mostly of normal data and some anomalies, we fit the source features within a hypersphere while jointly aligning them with the features of the dominant cluster from the target set. The paper provides extensive experiments and analysis on common adaptation benchmarks for anomaly detection, demonstrating the relevance of both the newly introduced paradigm and the proposed approach. The code will be made publicly available.
