Kernel Ellipsoidal Trimming
Ellipsoid estimation is an issue of primary importance in many practical areas such as control, system identification, visual/audio tracking, experimental design, data mining, robust statistics and novelty/outlier detection. This paper presents a new method of kernel information matrix ellipsoid estimation (KIMEE) that finds an ellipsoid in a kernel defined feature space based on a centered information matrix. Although the method is very general and can be applied to many of the aforementioned problems, the main focus in this paper is the problem of novelty or outlier detection associated with fault detection. A simple iterative algorithm based on Titterington's minimum volume ellipsoid method is proposed for practical implementation. The KIMEE method demonstrates very good performance on a set of real-life and simulated datasets compared with support vector machine methods
Active Authentication using an Autoencoder regularized CNN-based One-Class Classifier
Active authentication refers to the process in which users are unobtrusively
monitored and authenticated continuously throughout their interactions with
mobile devices. Generally, an active authentication problem is modelled as a
one class classification problem due to the unavailability of data from the
impostor users. Normally, the enrolled user is considered as the target class
(genuine) and the unauthorized users are considered as unknown classes
(impostor). We propose a convolutional neural network (CNN) based approach for
one class classification in which a zero centered Gaussian noise and an
autoencoder are used to model the pseudo-negative class and to regularize the
network to learn meaningful feature representations for one class data,
respectively. The overall network is trained using a combination of the
cross-entropy and the reconstruction error losses. A key feature of the
proposed approach is that any pre-trained CNN can be used as the base network
for one class classification. Effectiveness of the proposed framework is
demonstrated using three publically available face-based active authentication
datasets and it is shown that the proposed method achieves superior performance
compared to the traditional one class classification methods. The source code

One-Class Classification: Taxonomy of Study and Review of Techniques
One-class classification (OCC) algorithms aim to build classification models
when the negative class is either absent, poorly sampled or not well defined.
This unique situation constrains the learning of efficient classifiers by
defining class boundary just with the knowledge of positive class. The OCC
problem has been considered and applied under many research themes, such as
outlier/novelty detection and concept learning. In this paper we present a
unified view of the general problem of OCC by presenting a taxonomy of study
for OCC problems, which is based on the availability of training data,
algorithms used and the application domains applied. We further delve into each
of the categories of the proposed taxonomy and present a comprehensive
literature review of the OCC algorithms, techniques and methodologies with a
focus on their significance, limitations and applications. We conclude our
paper by discussing some open research problems in the field of OCC and present
our vision for future research.Comment: 24 pages + 11 pages of references, 8 figure
Support Vector Machines in R
Being among the most popular and efficient classification and regression methods currently available, implementations of support vector machines exist in almost every popular programming language. Currently four R packages contain SVM related software. The purpose of this paper is to present and compare these implementations.
