  • 用可微分的区间瓶颈替代传统编码器,直接从原始数据学习特征区间。
  • 在48个基准上平均排名第四,且唯一可解释的领先方法。
  • 无需标签即可生成可审计的异常约束,适合需要透明决策的场景。

基于重构的异常检测方法虽准确但不透明:深度自编码器标记样本为异常,却无法说明是哪些特征范围导致。我们提出DIFFINT,一种潜空间瓶颈由软轴对齐区间构成的自编码器,直接从原始数值数据端到端学习,无需离散化或二值化。每个潜变量对应特征空间中一个可读的人类可理解超矩形;实例通过其在各区间内的强弱程度被编码,重构误差即为异常得分。该设计保持可微表示学习能力的同时,揭示可检查的内部结构。我们精确设定归纳偏置:对于落在所有活跃坐标外的点,提供经李普希茨约束解码器保证的重构误差下界;在多数仅少数特征异常的情况下,实证验证了分级抑制机制;并给出闭式、无标签的重要性度量,基于模型已维护的量对每个(单元, 特征)对排序,将训练后的区间转化为可审计的候选约束。在48个ADBench基准上,使用统一[-1, 1]归一化协议,对比22种基线,DIFFINT在两种指标上均取得最佳平均排名(ROC-AUC为4.10,AUPR为4.16);在仅使用正常数据的检测器中表现突出,且与最强污染数据检测器相当(见分层与完整案例分析)。它是唯一位于统计上平局领先集群中的可解释检测器。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Reconstruction-based anomaly detectors are accurate but opaque: a deep autoencoder flags a sample without telling a practitioner which feature ranges made it anomalous. We propose DIFFINT, an autoencoder whose latent bottleneck is structured as a set of soft, axis-aligned interval memberships learned end-to-end directly from raw numerical data, without any discretization or binarization. Each latent unit corresponds to a human-readable hyper-rectangle in feature space; an instance is encoded by how strongly it falls inside each interval relative to the other units, and its reconstruction error is the anomaly score. This keeps the power of differentiable representation learning while exposing an inspectable internal structure. We make the inductive bias precise: a certified reconstruction-error lower bound for points that fall outside every active coordinate of the learned support (with a Lipschitz-enforced decoder), and a graded, empirically verified suppression mechanism for the usual case in which only a few features are abnormal; and we provide a closed-form, label-free importance that ranks each (unit, feature) pair from quantities the model already maintains, turning trained intervals into auditable candidate constraints without ever seeing an anomaly label. On 48 ADBench benchmarks against 22 baselines under a common [-1, 1]-normalized protocol, DIFFINT attains the best mean rank overall on both metrics (4.10 on ROC-AUC, 4.16 on AUPR); among inlier-only detectors it leads its regime clearly, and it is competitive with the strongest contaminated-data detectors (see the stratified and complete-case analyses). It is the only interpretable detector in the statistically-tied leading cluster of seven methods.
