Browse all Theses and Dissertations

The problem of outlier detection has received increasing attention recently because it plays a great role in many fields such as credit fraud detection, cyber security, etc. Machine Learning approach is an excellent choice for outlier detection due to its accuracy and efficiency. Outlier detection problem is unique due to the so-called classes imbalance: the inliers are extreme majority and the outliers are minority. Ensemble methods are popular in classification and regression task in practice to improve the performance of machine learning algorithms. Bagging and boosting are two common methods of them. In this thesis, we want to show the …
