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.

Training-Free Logical and Structural Anomaly Detection via Calibrated Fusion

The paper introduces a training‑free anomaly detector that simultaneously handles structural and logical defects by calibrating heterogeneous anomaly cues with statistics from normal images. This calibration aligns frozen representations, allowing their fusion without extra training or part‑level supervision. The resulting method achieves state‑of‑the‑art AUROC scores on MVTec‑LOCO and remains competitive on MVTec‑AD.
