Adaptive aggregation-distillation autoencoder for unsupervised anomaly detection

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose the adaptive aggregation-distillation autoencoder for unsupervised anomaly detection, which considers the diversity of normal patterns and provides a strong guarantee for anomaly detection during training sets containing anomalies.

• A density-based landmark is designed to represent diverse normal patterns, which can adaptively update the location and quantity of landmarks during training.

• An aggregation-distillation mechanism is built upon the landmark selection in respect to landmark-guided convex polygon reconstruction for minimizing the intra-class variation and differentiating normal from abnormal patterns.

• We achieve the state-of-the-art performance on standard benchmarks for unsupervised anomaly detection in ten real-world datasets from different application domains.
