An edge stream is a common form of presentation of dynamic networks. It can evolve with time, with new types of nodes or edges being continuously added. Existing methods for anomaly detection rely on edge occurrence counts or compare pattern snippets found in historical records. In this work, we propose Isconna, which focuses on both the frequency and the pattern of edge records. The burst detection component targets anomalies between individual timestamps, while the pattern detection component highlights anomalies across segments of timestamps. These two components together produce three intermediate scores, which are aggregated into the final anomaly score. Isconna does not actively explore or maintain pattern snippets; it instead measures the consecutive presence and absence of edge records. Isconna is an online algorithm, it does not keep the original information of edge records; only statistical values are maintained in a few count-min sketches (CMS). Isconnas space complexity $O(rc)$ is determined by two user-specific parameters, the size of CMSs. In worst case, Isconnas time complexity can be up to $O(rc)$, but it can be amortized in practice. Experiments show that Isconna outperforms five state-of-the-art frequency- and/or pattern-based baselines on six real-world datasets with up to 20 million edge records.

Given a stream of graph edges from a dynamic graph, how can we assign anomaly scores to edges and subgraphs in an online manner, for the purpose of detecting unusual behavior, using constant time and memory? For example, in intrusion detection, exist ing work seeks to detect either anomalous edges or anomalous subgraphs, but not both. In this paper, we first extend the count-min sketch data structure to a higher-order sketch. This higher-order sketch has the useful property of preserving the dense subgraph structure (dense subgraphs in the input turn into dense submatrices in the data structure). We then propose four online algorithms that utilize this enhanced data structure, which (a) detect both edge and graph anomalies; (b) process each edge and graph in constant memory and constant update time per newly arriving edge, and; (c) outperform state-of-the-art baselines on four real-world datasets. Our method is the first streaming approach that incorporates dense subgraph search to detect graph anomalies in constant memory and time.
Anomaly detection plays a crucial role in various real-world applications, including healthcare and finance systems. Owing to the limited number of anomaly labels in these complex systems, unsupervised anomaly detection methods have attracted great a ttention in recent years. Two major challenges faced by the existing unsupervised methods are: (i) distinguishing between normal and abnormal data in the transition field, where normal and abnormal data are highly mixed together; (ii) defining an effective metric to maximize the gap between normal and abnormal data in a hypothesis space, which is built by a representation learner. To that end, this work proposes a novel scoring network with a score-guided regularization to learn and enlarge the anomaly score disparities between normal and abnormal data. With such score-guided strategy, the representation learner can gradually learn more informative representation during the model training stage, especially for the samples in the transition field. We next propose a score-guided autoencoder (SG-AE), incorporating the scoring network into an autoencoder framework for anomaly detection, as well as other three state-of-the-art models, to further demonstrate the effectiveness and transferability of the design. Extensive experiments on both synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate the state-of-the-art performance of these score-guided models (SGMs).

Outlier detection and novelty detection are two important topics for anomaly detection. Suppose the majority of a dataset are drawn from a certain distribution, outlier detection and novelty detection both aim to detect data samples that do not fit t he distribution. Outliers refer to data samples within this dataset, while novelties refer to new samples. In the meantime, backdoor poisoning attacks for machine learning models are achieved through injecting poisoning samples into the training dataset, which could be regarded as outliers that are intentionally added by attackers. Differential privacy has been proposed to avoid leaking any individuals information, when aggregated analysis is performed on a given dataset. It is typically achieved by adding random noise, either directly to the input dataset, or to intermediate results of the aggregation mechanism. In this paper, we demonstrate that applying differential privacy can improve the utility of outlier detection and novelty detection, with an extension to detect poisoning samples in backdoor attacks. We first present a theoretical analysis on how differential privacy helps with the detection, and then conduct extensive experiments to validate the effectiveness of differential privacy in improving outlier detection, novelty detection, and backdoor attack detection.

Anomaly detection is an important research problem because anomalies often contain critical insights for understanding the unusual behavior in data. One type of anomaly detection approach is dependency-based, which identifies anomalies by examining t he violations of the normal dependency among variables. These methods can discover subtle and meaningful anomalies with better interpretation. Existing dependency-based methods adopt different implementations and show different strengths and weaknesses. However, the theoretical fundamentals and the general process behind them have not been well studied. This paper proposes a general framework, DepAD, to provide a unified process for dependency-based anomaly detection. DepAD decomposes unsupervised anomaly detection tasks into feature selection and prediction problems. Utilizing off-the-shelf techniques, the DepAD framework can have various instantiations to suit different application domains. Comprehensive experiments have been conducted over one hundred instantiated DepAD methods with 32 real-world datasets to evaluate the performance of representative techniques in DepAD. To show the effectiveness of DepAD, we compare two DepAD methods with nine state-of-the-art anomaly detection methods, and the results show that DepAD methods outperform comparison methods in most cases. Through the DepAD framework, this paper gives guidance and inspiration for future research of dependency-based anomaly detection and provides a benchmark for its evaluation.
We consider the problem of finding anomalies in high-dimensional data using popular PCA based anomaly scores. The naive algorithms for computing these scores explicitly compute the PCA of the covariance matrix which uses space quadratic in the dimens ionality of the data. We give the first streaming algorithms that use space that is linear or sublinear in the dimension. We prove general results showing that emph{any} sketch of a matrix that satisfies a certain operator norm guarantee can be used to approximate these scores. We instantiate these results with powerful matrix sketching techniques such as Frequent Directions and random projections to derive efficient and practical algorithms for these problems, which we validate over real-world data sets. Our main technical contribution is to prove matrix perturbation inequalities for operators arising in the computation of these measures.
