CAST: Context- and Anomaly Structure-Conditioned Time Series Anomaly Generation

CAST is a framework for generating anomalous time series that addresses the scarcity and heterogeneity of anomaly data. It uses a two‑stage approach: pretraining on abundant normal data to learn system dynamics, then finetuning with anomaly structure representations to capture diverse anomaly morphologies. Experiments on real‑world datasets show that CAST outperforms existing methods in both generation quality and downstream task performance.

Wasserstein Filtering: A Sample Selection Method for Robust Distribution Learning

Given a dataset where a portion of the samples are contaminated, our goal is to recover the underlying clean population distribution. To this end, we propose Wasserstein Filtering (WF), a novel sample selection framework that discards a fraction of suspicious samples and estimates the target distribution using the empirical measure of the remaining data.

Optimizing Three Critical Factors for Practical and Effective OOD Detection Fine-Tuning

The paper introduces a framework for out-of-distribution (OOD) detection that addresses the trade‑off between detection performance and classification accuracy caused by fine‑tuning with auxiliary outlier data. It optimizes three factors—model reminder, data sampling, and representation learning—by proposing Self‑Knowledge Distillation to preserve accuracy, Semi‑hard Outlier Sampling to enhance detection with minimal data, and Outlier‑aware Supervised Contrastive Learning to improve ID‑OOD separability. The combined approach yields cumulative gains, outperforming existing methods on diverse benchmarks, especially in long‑tailed scenarios, and offers a robust baseline for real‑world OOD detection.
