Topics

This workshop will feature the most recent artificial intelligence advances for recognition, detection and adaption anomalies and novelties. It targets both academic researchers and industrial practitioners from data mining, machine learning and computer vision communities, and solicits original research on but not limited to the following topics.

* Recognition/detection/adaption of anomalies/novelties in different types of data

- Anomaly/novelty detection

- Out-of-distribution example detection

- Adversarial example recognition and detection

- Curiosity learning

- Open-set recognition and adaption

* Deep learning for anomaly/novelty recognition/detection/adaption

- Feature learning specifically designed for anomalies/novelties

- End-to-end anomaly/novelty recognition/detection/adaption

* Anomaly/novelty-related theories/foundation

- Mathematical formalization

- Optimization

- Generalization bounds and learnability

- Anomaly/novelty explanation

* Relevant applications

- Fraud and risk analysis in finance and insurance

- Disease detection and diagnosis in healthcare

- Intrusion/malware detection in cybersecurity

- Malicious activity detection in social networks

- Misinformation and fake information detection

- Event detection in video surveillance

- Safety analysis in AI systems

Submission Instructions

We invite three types of submissions, including original research paper (6 pages plus references), demo paper (4 pages plus references), visionary papers (4 pages plus references).
