Localized Anomaly Detection via Differentiable D-vine Copulas

Vine copulas provide a flexible framework for modeling complex multivariate distributions through a hierarchical decomposition into bivariate pair-copulas. Fitting a D-vine requires selecting a copula family and parameter configuration for each pair-copula from a set of candidates encoding different dependence patterns.

Copula Adapted Directed Acyclic Graph for Cluster Representation of Biomedical Data

The paper presents Copula Adapted Directed Acyclic Graph (CopDAG), a framework that combines copula models with an ensemble of causal structure discovery methods based on Directed Acyclic Graphs to represent biomedical data. By capturing non‑Gaussian, non‑linear dependencies and stable causal relationships, CopDAG enables clustering of unlabeled biomedical data using K‑means. Across 16 biomedical datasets, CopDAG achieves the highest normalized clustering accuracy and adjusted Rand index among 12 evaluated methods, and it can predict class labels and provide explainable causal visualizations without relying on data annotations.

Can We Predict Anomaly Detection Performance from Embedding-Space Geometry?

The paper investigates whether the performance of anomaly detection systems can be predicted without labeled anomalies. For kNN-based detectors, it derives a lower bound on AUC that links detection performance to the separation and variance of inlier and outlier scores, and uses this to analyze how density variation, intrinsic dimensionality, and domain mismatch affect score variability. The authors introduce pseudo‑anomaly probes that provide a reference for estimating relative score separation, and demonstrate through experiments on DCASE benchmarks that these probes enable anomaly‑free model selection to outperform conventional development‑set selection, especially under domain shift.
