Generative Models for Novelty Detection Applications in abnormal event and situational changedetection from data series
Novelty detection is a process for distinguishing the observations that differ in some respect
from the observations that the model is trained on. Novelty detection is one of the fundamental
requirements of a good classification or identification system since sometimes the
test data contains observations that were not known at the training time. In other words, the
novelty class is often is not presented during the training phase or not well defined.
In light of the above, one-class classifiers and generative methods can efficiently model
such problems. However, due to the unavailability of data from the novelty class, training
an end-to-end model is a challenging task itself. Therefore, detecting the Novel classes in
unsupervised and semi-supervised settings is a crucial step in such tasks.
In this thesis, we propose several methods to model the novelty detection problem in
unsupervised and semi-supervised fashion. The proposed frameworks applied to different
related applications of anomaly and outlier detection tasks. The results show the superior of
our proposed methods in compare to the baselines and state-of-the-art methods
HIERARCHY OF GANS FOR LEARNING EMBODIED SELF-AWARENESS MODEL
In recent years several architectures have been proposed to learn embodied agents complex self-awareness models. In this paper, dynamic incremental self-awareness (SA) models are proposed that allow experiences done by an agent to be modeled in a hierarchical fashion, starting from more simple situations to more structured ones. Each situation is learned from subsets of private agent perception data as a model capable to predict normal behaviors and detect abnormalities. Hierarchical SA models have been already proposed using low dimensional sensorial inputs. In this work, a hierarchical model is introduced by means of a cross-modal Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) processing high dimensional visual data. Different levels of the GANs are detected in a self-supervised manner using GANs discriminators decision boundaries. Real experiments on semi-autonomous ground vehicles are presented
