$(1 + \varepsilon)$-class Classification: an Anomaly Detection Method for Highly Imbalanced or Incomplete Data Sets (1906.06096v1)

Abstract: Anomaly detection is not an easy problem since distribution of anomalous samples is unknown a priori. We explore a novel method that gives a trade-off possibility between one-class and two-class approaches, and leads to a better performance on anomaly detection problems with small or non-representative anomalous samples. The method is evaluated using several data sets and compared to a set of conventional one-class and two-class approaches.
