Anomaly detection aims to detect abnormal events by a model of normality. It plays an important role in many domains such as network intrusion detection, criminal activity identity and so on. With the rapidly growing size of accessible training data and high computation capacities, deep learning based anomaly detection has become more and more popular. In this paper, a new domain-based anomaly detection method based on generative adversarial networks (GAN) is proposed. Minimum likelihood regularization is proposed to make the generator produce more anomalies and prevent it from converging to normal data distribution. Proper ensemble of anomaly scores is shown to improve the stability of discriminator effectively. The proposed method has achieved significant improvement than other anomaly detection methods on Cifar10 and UCI datasets.
ASG-SVM: In @cite_18 , one way of generating normal data and anomalies in unsupervised manner via an adversarial learning strategy is proposed. Such generated points are trained by a discriminator to form the boundary of normal data. The way of producing normal data and anomalies is different from our method.

We propose a pre-selection method for training support vector machines (SVM) with a large-scale dataset. Specifically, the proposed method selects patterns around the class boundary and the selected data is fed to train an SVM. For the selection, that is, searching for boundary patterns, we utilize a relative neighborhood graph (RNG). An RNG has an edge for each pair of neighboring patterns and thus, we can find boundary patterns by looking for edges connecting patterns from different classes. Through large-scale handwritten digit pattern recognition experiments, we show that the proposed pre-selection method accelerates SVM training process 5–15 times faster without degrading recognition accuracy. We describe a strategy for constructing a neural network jet substructure tagger which powerfully discriminates boosted decay signals while remaining largely uncorrelated with the jet mass. This reduces the impact of systematic uncertainties in background modeling while enhancing signal purity, resulting in improved discovery significance relative to existing taggers. The network is trained using an adversarial strategy, resulting in a tagger that learns to balance classification accuracy with decorrelation. As a benchmark scenario, we consider the case where large-radius jets originating from a boosted resonance decay are discriminated from a background of nonresonant quark and gluon jets. We show that in the presence of systematic uncertainties on the background rate, our adversarially-trained, decorrelated tagger considerably outperforms a conventionally trained neural network, despite having a slightly worse signal-background separation power. We generalize the adversarial training technique to include a parametric dependence on the signal hypothesis, training a single network that provides optimized, interpolatable decorrelated jet tagging across a continuous range of hypothetical resonance masses, after training on discrete choices of the signal mass. We propose the Autoencoding Binary Classifiers (ABC), a novel supervised anomaly detector based on the Autoencoder (AE). There are two main approaches in anomaly detection: supervised and unsupervised. The supervised approach accurately detects the known anomalies included in training data, but it cannot detect the unknown anomalies. Meanwhile, the unsupervised approach can detect both known and unknown anomalies that are located away from normal data points. However, it does not detect known anomalies as accurately as the supervised approach. Furthermore, even if we have labeled normal data points and anomalies, the unsupervised approach cannot utilize these labels. The ABC is a probabilistic binary classifier that effectively exploits the label information, where normal data points are modeled using the AE as a component. By maximizing the likelihood, the AE in the proposed ABC is trained to minimize the reconstruction error for normal data points, and to maximize it for known anomalies. Since our approach becomes able to reconstruct the normal data points accurately and fails to reconstruct the known and unknown anomalies, it can accurately discriminate both known and unknown anomalies from normal data points. Experimental results show that the ABC achieves higher detection performance than existing supervised and unsupervised methods. One of the challenges in the study of generative adversarial networks is the instability of its training. In this paper, we propose a novel weight normalization technique called spectral normalization to stabilize the training of the discriminator. Our new normalization technique is computationally light and easy to incorporate into existing implementations. We tested the efficacy of spectral normalization on CIFAR10, STL-10, and ILSVRC2012 dataset, and we experimentally confirmed that spectrally normalized GANs (SN-GANs) is capable of generating images of better or equal quality relative to the previous training stabilization techniques.
