TaskFusion: Continual Anomaly Detection for Heterogeneous Tabular Data

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

arXiv:2606. 11844v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Continual anomaly detection in tabular data is challenging and remains largely underexplored, particularly in settings with heterogeneous feature schemas, distribution shifts, and severe class imbalance.

Neural-Collapse-guided Task-Free Continual Anomaly Detection

The paper introduces NC‑TFAD, a task‑free continual anomaly detection framework that leverages neural‑collapse geometry to learn from non‑stationary data streams without task boundaries. It freezes a pretrained backbone, aligns streaming features to a simplex Equiangular Tight Frame prototype space, and uses synthetic anomaly anchors, inter‑ and intra‑class regularization, and a Focal Neural Collapse Contrastive loss to stabilize representations and enhance normal‑anomaly separability. A normal‑patch‑prototype‑guided localization branch generates calibrated anomaly heatmaps, and extensive experiments on MVTec AD and VisA demonstrate that NC‑TFAD outperforms existing task‑free continual learning and unified anomaly detection baselines in both image‑level detection and pixel‑level localization.

Neural-Collapse-guided Task-Free Continual Anomaly Detection

The paper introduces NC‑TFAD, a task‑free continual anomaly detection framework that leverages neural‑collapse geometry to handle non‑stationary data streams in industrial visual inspection. It freezes a pretrained backbone, aligns streaming features to a simplex Equiangular Tight Frame prototype space, and uses synthetic anomaly anchors, inter‑ and intra‑class regularization, and a Focal Neural Collapse Contrastive loss to stabilize representations and enhance normal‑anomaly separability. A normal‑patch‑prototype‑guided localization branch generates calibrated anomaly heatmaps without pixel‑level annotations, and experiments on MVTec AD and VisA demonstrate that NC‑TFAD outperforms existing task‑free continual learning and unified anomaly detection baselines in both image‑level detection and pixel‑level localization.
