Efficient Generation of Hidden Outliers for Improved Outlier Detection

Nov 2024 · Papers

ACM Transactions on Knowledge Discovery from Data (TKDD), 18(9)

We studied hidden outliers: points that look ordinary in the full space but stand out in some subspace. We proved that one always lies between an inlier and a full-space outlier, and turned that into BISECT, a generator that reduces detection error by up to $3\times$ in the downstream task of outlier detection with self-supervision.
