Weakly-Supervised Anomaly Detection In Surveillance Videos Based On Two-Stream I3d Convolution Network, Sareh Soltani Nejad

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

The widespread adoption of city surveillance systems has led to an increase in the use of surveillance videos for maintaining public safety and security. This thesis tackles the problem of detecting anomalous events in surveillance videos. The goal is to automatically identify abnormal events by learning from both normal and abnormal videos. Most of previous works consider any deviation from learned normal patterns as an anomaly, which may not always be valid since the same activity could be normal or abnormal under different circumstances. To address this issue, the thesis utilizes the Two-Stream Inflated 3D (I3D) Convolutional Networks to extract …

Anomaly Detection In Sequential Data: A Deep Learning-Based Approach, Jayesh Soni

FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

Anomaly Detection has been researched in various domains with several applications in intrusion detection, fraud detection, system health management, and bio-informatics. Conventional anomaly detection methods analyze each data instance independently (univariate or multivariate) and ignore the sequential characteristics of the data. Anomalies in the data can be detected by grouping the individual data instances into sequential data and hence conventional way of analyzing independent data instances cannot detect anomalies. Currently: (1) Deep learning-based algorithms are widely used for anomaly detection purposes. However, significant computational overhead time is incurred during the training process due to static constant batch size and learning …

Toward Deep Supervised Anomaly Detection: Reinforcement Learning From Partially Labeled Anomaly Data, Guansong Pang, Anton Van Den Hengel, Chunhua Shen, Longbing Cao

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

We consider the problem of anomaly detection with a small set of partially labeled anomaly examples and a large-scale unlabeled dataset. This is a common scenario in many important applications. Existing related methods either exclusively fit the limited anomaly examples that typically do not span the entire set of anomalies, or proceed with unsupervised learning from the unlabeled data. We propose here instead a deep reinforcement learning-based approach that enables an end-to-end optimization of the detection of both labeled and unlabeled anomalies. This approach learns the known abnormality by automatically interacting with an anomalybiased simulation environment, while continuously extending the …

Semi-Supervised Spatial-Temporal Feature Learning On Anomaly-Based Network Intrusion Detection, Huy Mai

Computer Science and Computer Engineering Undergraduate Honors Theses

Due to a rapid increase in network traffic, it is growing more imperative to have systems that detect attacks that are both known and unknown to networks. Anomaly-based detection methods utilize deep learning techniques, including semi-supervised learning, in order to effectively detect these attacks. Semi-supervision is advantageous as it doesn't fully depend on the labelling of network traffic data points, which may be a daunting task especially considering the amount of traffic data collected. Even though deep learning models such as the convolutional neural network have been integrated into a number of proposed network intrusion detection systems in recent years, …

Automated Anomaly Detection And Localization System For A Microservices Based Cloud System, Priyanka Prakash Naikade

Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository

Context: With an increasing number of applications running on a microservices-based cloud system (such as AWS, GCP, IBM Cloud), it is challenging for the cloud providers to offer uninterrupted services with guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) factors. Problem Statement: Existing monitoring frameworks often do not detect critical defects among a large volume of issues generated, thus affecting recovery response times and usage of maintenance human resource. Also, manually tracing the root causes of the issues requires a significant amount of time. Objective: The objective of this work is to: (i) detect performance anomalies, in real-time, through monitoring KPIs (Key Performance …

Next-Generation Self-Organizing Communications Networks: Synergistic Application Of Machine Learning And User-Centric Technologies, Chetana V. Murudkar

USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations

The telecommunications industry is going through a metamorphic journey where the 5G and 6G technologies will be deeply rooted in the society forever altering how people access and use information. In support of this transformation, this dissertation proposes a fundamental paradigm shift in the design, performance assessment, and optimization of wireless communications networks developing the next-generation self-organizing communications networks with the synergistic application of machine learning and user-centric technologies.

This dissertation gives an overview of the concept of self-organizing networks (SONs), provides insight into the “hot” technology of machine learning (ML), and offers an intuitive understanding of the user-centric (UC) …

Representation Learning With Adversarial Latent Autoencoders, Stanislav Pidhorskyi M.S.

Graduate Theses, Dissertations, and Problem Reports

A large number of deep learning methods applied to computer vision problems require encoder-decoder maps. These methods include, but are not limited to, self-representation learning, generalization, few-shot learning, and novelty detection. Encoder-decoder maps are also useful for photo manipulation, photo editing, superresolution, etc. Encoder-decoder maps are typically learned using autoencoder networks.
Traditionally, autoencoder reciprocity is achieved in the image-space using pixel-wise
similarity loss, which has a widely known flaw of producing non-realistic reconstructions. This flaw is typical for the Variational Autoencoder (VAE) family and is not only limited to pixel-wise similarity losses, but is common to all methods relying upon …

Deep Neural Networks With Confidence Sampling For Electrical Anomaly Detection, Norman L. Tasfi, Wilson A. Higashino, Katarina Grolinger, Miriam A. M. Capretz

Electrical and Computer Engineering Publications

The increase in electrical metering has created tremendous quantities of data and, as a result, possibilities for deep insights into energy usage, better energy management, and new ways of energy conservation. As buildings are responsible for a significant portion of overall energy consumption, conservation efforts targeting buildings can provide tremendous effect on energy savings. Building energy monitoring enables identification of anomalous or unexpected behaviors which, when corrected, can lead to energy savings. Although the available data is large, the limited availability of labels makes anomaly detection difficult. This research proposes a deep semi-supervised convolutional neural network with confidence sampling for …
