arXiv:2609.36968v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Unsupervised tabular anomaly detection (TAD) aims to identify anomalous rows in tabular data using normal training samples. While conventional methods...
arXiv:2608. 19463v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Anomaly detection in tabular data is challenging because abnormal samples often arise as violations of cross-feature dependencies rather than simple marginal deviations.
arXiv:2605. 26068v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Weakly supervised anomaly detection (WSAD) has developed in three primary directions: incomplete, inexact, and inaccurate supervision.
The paper explores how prior-data fitted networks (PFNs) can be adapted for anomaly detection in tabular data. Using frozen TabPFN features, the authors show that scoring samples by nearest-neighbor distance in feature space yields strong results, and they identify optimal layers and extraction procedures. They further improve performance by fine‑tuning the model on a reference set, achieving higher AUROC on the ADBench benchmark with both a fine‑tuning‑free (ZEN) and a fine‑tuned (FOCUS) approach.
The paper introduces a deep positive‑unlabeled anomaly detection framework that combines positive‑unlabeled learning with deep models such as autoencoders and deep support vector data descriptions. It addresses the issue of contaminated unlabeled data by approximating anomaly scores for normal data using both unlabeled and labeled anomaly samples, allowing training without labeled normal data. The authors provide a theoretical generalization error bound and demonstrate improved detection performance over existing methods on several datasets.
