Operational, Uncertainty-Aware, and Reliable Anomaly Detection

Anomaly detection methods aim to identify examples that do not follow the expected behavior. For various reasons, anomaly detection is typically tackled by using unsupervised approaches that assign real-valued anomaly scores based on various …

Learning from Positive and Unlabeled Multi-Instance Bags in Anomaly Detection @ KDD23

In the multi-instance learning (MIL) setting instances are grouped together into bags. Labels are provided only for the bags and not on the level of individual instances. A positive bag label means that at least one instance inside the bag is …

Class Prior Estimation in Active Positive and Unlabeled Learning @ IJCAI20

Estimating the proportion of positive examples (i.e., the class prior) from positive and unlabeled (PU) data is an important task that facilitates learning a classifier from such data. In this paper, we explore how to tackle this problem when the …
