A Classifier-Based Approach to Multi-Class Anomaly Detection for Astronomical Transients

1 code implementation21 Mar 2024 Rithwik Gupta, Daniel Muthukrishna, Michelle Lochner

In this work, we introduce an alternative approach to detecting anomalies: using the penultimate layer of a neural network classifier as the latent space for anomaly detection.

Bayesian Anomaly Detection and Classification

no code implementations22 Feb 2019 Ethan Roberts, Bruce A. Bassett, Michelle Lochner

Using simulated data with Gaussian noise, BADAC is shown to be superior to standard algorithms in both classification and anomaly detection performance in the presence of uncertainties, though with significantly increased computational cost.
