A Survey on Explainable Anomaly Detection
In the past two decades, most research on anomaly detection has focused on
improving the accuracy of the detection, while largely ignoring the
explainability of the corresponding methods and thus leaving the explanation of
outcomes to practitioners. As anomaly detection algorithms are increasingly
used in safety-critical domains, providing explanations for the high-stakes
decisions made in those domains has become an ethical and regulatory
requirement. Therefore, this work provides a comprehensive and structured
survey on state-of-the-art explainable anomaly detection techniques. We propose
a taxonomy based on the main aspects that characterize each explainable anomaly
detection technique, aiming to help practitioners and researchers find the
explainable anomaly detection method that best suits their needs.Comment: Paper accepted by the ACM Transactions on Knowledge Discovery from

Hierarchical Change Point Detection on Dynamic Networks
This paper studies change point detection on networks with community
structures. It proposes a framework that can detect both local and global
changes in networks efficiently. Importantly, it can clearly distinguish the
two types of changes. The framework design is generic and as such several
state-of-the-art change point detection algorithms can fit in this design.
Experiments on both synthetic and real-world networks show that this framework
can accurately detect changes while achieving up to 800X speedup.Comment: 9 pages, ACM WebSci'1
