A fast noise resilient anomaly detection using GMM-based collective labelling
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Anomaly detection algorithms face several challenges including computational complexity and resiliency to noise in input data. In this paper, we propose a fast and noise-resilient cluster-based anomaly detection method using collective labelling approach. In the proposed Collective Probabilistic Anomaly Detection method, first instead of labelling each new sample (as normal or anomaly) individually, the new samples are clustered, then labelled. This collective labelling mitigates the negative impact of noise by relying on group behaviour rather than individual characteristics of incoming samples. Second, since grouping and labelling new samples may be time-consuming, we summarize clusters using Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM). Not only does GMM offer faster processing speed; it also facilitates summarizing clusters with arbitrary shape, and consequently, reducing the memory space requirement. Finally, a modified distance measure, based on Kullback-Liebner method, is proposed to calculate the similarity among clusters represented by GMMs. We evaluate the proposed method on various datasets by measuring its false alarm rate, detection rate and memory requirement. We also add different levels of noise to the input datasets to demonstrate the performance of the proposed collective anomaly detection method in the presence of noise. The experimental results confirm superior performance of the proposed method compared to individually-based labelling techniques in terms of memory usage, detection rate and false alarm rate.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
