Taming the anomaly: An overview of outliers and other deviations in data
Channel: Ralph Videos
Date: 2023-03-20

This video explains both classical outliers and complex, difficult-to-spot anomalies in data sets. As such it is not only relevant for people new to data mining, statistics and AI, but also for senior scholars and data scientists. The various kinds of anomalies are presented concretely using 3D animations and other visualizations, and are positioned in an overall typology of deviations in data.

The video is largely based on the publication 'On the nature and types of anomalies: A review of deviations in data' by dr. Ralph Foorthuis, which provides a comprehensive overview of the different types of anomalies that have been studied in some 250 years of anomaly detection research.
