48 results for local outlier detection

This paper presents a simple but effective density-based outlier detection approach with the local kernel density estimation (KDE). A Relative Density-based Outlier Score (RDOS) is introduced to measure the local outlierness of objects, in which the density distribution at the location of an object is estimated with a …

Generates synthetic data for benchmarking unsupervised outlier detection.

problem Difficulty in benchmarking unsupervised outlier detection due to rare and varied outliers in real data.
method Proposes a generic process to generate synthetic data with insightful characteristics.
result Demonstrates practicality of the generic process through a benchmark with state-of-the-art detection methods.

We propose a novel procedure for outlier detection in functional data, in a semi-supervised framework. As the data is functional, we consider the coefficients obtained after projecting the observations onto orthonormal bases (wavelet, PCA). A multiple testing procedure based on the two-sample test is defined in order t…

SDCOR clusters massive datasets efficiently, detecting outliers with low memory usage.

problem Local outlier detection in large-scale datasets.
method Chunk-based density clustering with incremental updates.
result SDCOR achieves lower linear time complexity and better efficiency than traditional methods.

Rare data in a large-scale database are called outliers that reveal significant information in the real world. The subspace-based outlier detection is regarded as a feasible approach in very high dimensional space. However, the outliers found in subspaces are only part of the true outliers in high dimensional space, in…

DCSO dynamically selects top-performing base detectors for outlier ensembles.

problem Challenges in selecting and combining outlier scores from different detectors.
method DCSO dynamically selects top-performing base detectors based on local k-nearest neighbors.

Outlier detection aims to identify unusual data instances that deviate from expected patterns. The outlier detection is particularly challenging when outliers are context dependent and when they are defined by unusual combinations of multiple outcome variable values. In this paper, we develop and study a new conditiona…
