The paper introduces ISP-AD, the largest publicly available industrial anomaly detection dataset, featuring both synthetic and real defects from a factory floor. It focuses on challenging, small, weakly contrasted surface defects within highly variable structured patterns, addressing the bias of existing datasets toward ideal imaging conditions. Experiments demonstrate that even a small amount of weakly labeled real defects improves model generalization and that synthetic defects can serve as a useful cold‑start baseline for scalable training.

Online Conformal Anomaly Detection with Prediction-Powered Data Acquisition introduces C-PP-COAD, a framework that uses synthetic calibration data to reduce reliance on real-world calibration while maintaining assumption-free false discovery rate control. The method wraps any anomaly detection algorithm, converting its scores into conformal p-values for online testing. Experiments on synthetic and real datasets—including thyroid dysfunction, O‑RAN conflict, 5G intrusion, and UE throughput degradation—show that C-PP-COAD preserves FDR guarantees while significantly cutting the need for real calibration data.
