Anomaly Detection Reading Group: Deep OC-SVM

Facultatea de Matematica si Informatica, sala 202

Speaker: Andrei Pătrașcu (University of Bucharest) Abstract: Recent empirical results confirm that one-class (OC) classification methods remain among the most important learning strategies for anomaly detection. In this seminar, we will technically describe in detail multiple basic OC schemes such as OC-SVM and SVDD and their deep variants, in order to identify room of improvements
