Abstract
Autoencoders (AEs) have attracted much attention in one-class classification (OCC) based unsupervised anomaly detection. The AEs aim to learn the unity features on targets without involving anomalies and thus the targets are expected to obtain smaller reconstruction errors than anomalies. However, AE-based OCC algorithms may suffer from the overgeneralization of AE and fail to detect anomalies that have similar distributions to target data. To address these issues, a novel within-class constraint based multi-task AE (WC-MTAE) is proposed in this paper. WC-MTAE consists of two different task: one for reconstruction and the other for the discrimination-based OCC task. In this way, the encoder is compelled by the OCC task to learn the more compact encoded feature distribution for targets when minimizing OCC loss. Meanwhile, the within-class scatter based penalty term is constructed to further regularize the encoded feature distribution. The aforementioned two improvements enable the unsupervised anomaly detection by the compact encoded features, thereby addressing the issue of the overgeneralization in AEs. Comparisons with several state-of-the-art (SOTA) algorithms on several non-image datasets and an image dataset CIFAR10 are provided where the WC-MTAE is conducted on 3 different network structures including the multilayer perception (MLP), LeNet-type convolution network and full convolution neural network. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed WC-MTAE. The source code would be available in future.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 it
