Anomaly Detection on Graph Time Series
In this paper, we use variational recurrent neural network to investigate the
anomaly detection problem on graph time series. The temporal correlation is
modeled by the combination of recurrent neural network (RNN) and variational
inference (VI), while the spatial information is captured by the graph
convolutional network. In order to incorporate external factors, we use feature
extractor to augment the transition of latent variables, which can learn the
influence of external factors. With the target function as accumulative ELBO,
it is easy to extend this model to on-line method. The experimental study on
traffic flow data shows the detection capability of the proposed method
Improving Unsupervised Defect Segmentation by Applying Structural Similarity to Autoencoders
Convolutional autoencoders have emerged as popular methods for unsupervised
defect segmentation on image data. Most commonly, this task is performed by
thresholding a pixel-wise reconstruction error based on an distance.
This procedure, however, leads to large residuals whenever the reconstruction
encompasses slight localization inaccuracies around edges. It also fails to
reveal defective regions that have been visually altered when intensity values
stay roughly consistent. We show that these problems prevent these approaches
from being applied to complex real-world scenarios and that it cannot be easily
avoided by employing more elaborate architectures such as variational or
feature matching autoencoders. We propose to use a perceptual loss function
based on structural similarity which examines inter-dependencies between local
image regions, taking into account luminance, contrast and structural
information, instead of simply comparing single pixel values. It achieves
significant performance gains on a challenging real-world dataset of
nanofibrous materials and a novel dataset of two woven fabrics over the state
of the art approaches for unsupervised defect segmentation that use pixel-wise
reconstruction error metrics
