While deep learning\u0000has shown state-of-the-art AD performance, its application in critical systems\u0000is hindered by concerns regarding training data efficiency, domain adaptation\u0000and interpretability. This work considers AD in network flows using incomplete\u0000measurements, leveraging a robust tensor decomposition approach and deep\u0000unrolling techniques to address these challenges. We first propose a novel\u0000block-successive convex approximation algorithm based on a regularized\u0000model-fitting objective where the normal flows are modeled as low-rank tensors\u0000and anomalies as sparse. An augmentation of the objective is introduced to\u0000decrease the computational cost. We apply deep unrolling to derive a novel deep\u0000network architecture based on our proposed algorithm, treating the\u0000regularization parameters as learnable weights. Inspired by Bayesian\u0000approaches, we extend the model architecture to perform online adaptation to\u0000per-flow and per-time-step statistics, improving AD performance while\u0000maintaining a low parameter count and preserving the problem's permutation\u0000equivariances. To optimize the deep network weights for detection performance,\u0000we employ a homotopy optimization approach based on an efficient approximation\u0000of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve. Extensive\u0000experiments on synthetic and real-world data demonstrate that our proposed deep\u0000network architecture exhibits a high training data efficiency, outperforms\u0000reference methods, and adapts seamlessly to varying network topologies.","PeriodicalId":501034,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - EE - Signal Processing","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142251314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
