TaskFusion: Continual Anomaly Detection for Heterogeneous Tabular Data

- 将不同任务特征映射到共享空间,对齐分布并学习异常边界。
- 通过任务内插值与跨任务混合增强,优化异常边界识别效果。
- 结合数据蒸馏与异常暴露,有效应对类别不平衡和记忆限制。
在异构特征模式、分布漂移和严重类别不平衡的场景下,表格数据的持续异常检测极具挑战且研究不足。实际应用中,数据来自多个领域,按序到达,传统持续学习方法因依赖固定输入空间而失效。本文提出一种新的持续学习方法——TaskFusion,包含三个核心部分:AGF模型将任务特异性特征映射至共享空间,对齐分布以减少表示漂移,并在对齐空间中学习异常决策边界;引入任务融合增强(Taskfusion augmentation),通过任务内边界感知插值优化异常边界,跨任务混合传递异常结构;为应对类别不平衡与内存限制,采用表格数据蒸馏生成紧凑合成回放样本,与增强数据联合用于异常暴露目标,提升鲁棒性。在21个跨领域的异构数据集上评估,结果表明该方法显著优于顺序微调及其他持续学习基线,有效缓解灾难性遗忘,并在异构数据上保持稳定的异常检测性能。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Continual anomaly detection in tabular data is challenging and remains largely underexplored, particularly in settings with heterogeneous feature schemas, distribution shifts, and severe class imbalance. In many real-world applications, data arrive sequentially from diverse domains, rendering conventional continual learning methods ineffective due to their reliance on a fixed input space. We propose a continual learning (CL) method, which can overcome these challenges and continually learn from different tasks. Our method consists of three main parts: our AGF model, Taskfusion augmentation, and outlier exposure. The AGF-model maps task-specific features into a shared space, then aligns distributions to reduce representation drift, and learns anomaly decision boundaries in the aligned space. To improve stability, we introduce Taskfusion augmentation, combining boundary-aware interpolation within tasks to refine the model anomaly boundaries and cross-task mixing to transfer anomaly structure across datasets. To handle class imbalance and memory constraints, we employ tabular dataset distillation to store compact synthetic replay samples, which are jointly used with augmented data in an outlier exposure objective for robust anomaly detection. We evaluate the approach on 21 heterogeneous datasets across multiple domains. Results show that our approach substantially improves continual anomaly detection performance over sequential fine-tuning and other CL baselines while reducing catastrophic forgetting and maintaining stable detection across heterogeneous datasets.
