Learning Representations of Ultrahigh-dimensional Data for Random Distance-based Outlier Detection
Guansong Pang, Longbing Cao, Ling Chen, Huan Liu · 2018
Learning expressive low-dimensional representations of ultrahigh-dimensional data, e.g., data with thousands/millions of features, has been a major way to enable learning methods to address the curse of dimensionality. However, existing unsupervised representation learning methods mainly focus on preserving the data regularity information and learning the representations independently of subsequent outlier detection methods, which can result in suboptimal and unstable performance of detecting irregularities (i.e., outliers).
