Towards Reproducible, Automated, and Scalable Anomaly Detection

Abstract Anomaly detection (AD), often termed outlier detection, is a key machine learning (ML) task, aiming to identify uncommon yet crucial patterns in data. With the increasing complexity of the modern world, the applications of AD span wide—from NASA's spacecraft monitoring to early patient prioritization at University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Technology giants like Google and Amazon also leverage AD for service disruption identification. Here, I will traverse my AD works with promising new directions, particularly emphasizing reproducible benchmarks (Part 1), automated algorithms (Part 2), and scalable systems (Part 3).
