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
Self-Adaptive Surrogate-Assisted Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategy
This paper presents a novel mechanism to adapt surrogate-assisted
population-based algorithms. This mechanism is applied to ACM-ES, a recently
proposed surrogate-assisted variant of CMA-ES. The resulting algorithm,
saACM-ES, adjusts online the lifelength of the current surrogate model (the
number of CMA-ES generations before learning a new surrogate) and the surrogate
hyper-parameters. Both heuristics significantly improve the quality of the
surrogate model, yielding a significant speed-up of saACM-ES compared to the
ACM-ES and CMA-ES baselines. The empirical validation of saACM-ES on the
BBOB-2012 noiseless testbed demonstrates the efficiency and the scalability
w.r.t the problem dimension and the population size of the proposed approach,
that reaches new best results on some of the benchmark problems.Comment: Genetic and Evolutionary Computation Conference (GECCO 2012) (2012
