Abstract
The paper proposes a new method for building one class classifiers based on variational autoencoders (VAE). The classification decision is built on a linear combination of two squared distances: computed for the original and the reconstructed image as well as for the representation of the original image inside the latent space formed by VAE. Because both distances are well approximated by scaled chi-square distribution, the decision boundary is computed using the theoretical quantile function for this distribution and the predefined probability for Type I error, ⍺. Thereby the boundary does not require any specific optimization and is solely based on the model outcomes computed for the training set.
The original idea of the proposed method is inherited from another OCC approach, Data Driven Soft Independent Method for Class Analogies, where singular value decomposition is employed for building the latent space. In this paper we show how this idea can be adopted to be used with VAE for detection of anomalies on images. The paper describes the theoretical background, introduces the main outcomes as well as tools for visual exploration of the classification results, and shows how the method works on several simulated and real datasets.
期刊介绍:
Chemometrics and Intelligent Laboratory Systems publishes original research papers, short communications, reviews, tutorials and Original Software Publications reporting on development of novel statistical, mathematical, or computer techniques in Chemistry and related disciplines.
Chemometrics is the chemical discipline that uses mathematical and statistical methods to design or select optimal procedures and experiments, and to provide maximum chemical information by analysing chemical data.
The journal deals with the following topics:
1) Development of new statistical, mathematical and chemometrical methods for Chemistry and related fields (Environmental Chemistry, Biochemistry, Toxicology, System Biology, -Omics, etc.)
2) Novel applications of chemometrics to all branches of Chemistry and related fields (typical domains of interest are: process data analysis, experimental design, data mining, signal processing, supervised modelling, decision making, robust statistics, mixture analysis, multivariate calibration etc.) Routine applications of established chemometrical techniques will not be considered.
3) Development of new software that provides novel tools or truly advances the use of chemometrical methods.
4) Well characterized data sets to test performance for the new methods and software.
The journal complies with International Committee of Medical Journal Editors'' Uniform requirements for manuscripts.
