Original: The well-known one-class classiﬁcation methods such as OCSVM [Schölkopf et al. , 2001], DSVDD [Ruff et al. , 2018] and DROCC [Goyal et al. , 2020] have speciﬁc assumptions for theembedded distribution while our PLAD does not require any assumption and is able to adaptivelylearn a decision boundary even if it is very complex.

Revised: It is also noteworthy that the idea of DROCC in identifyinganomalies is similar to ours, i.e, training a classiﬁer instead of an auto-encoder or embedding model.

Revised: Self-supervised learning based methods, e.g., GOAD [Bergman and Hoshen, 2020] NeuTraL AD [Qiuet al. , 2021], etc., work through designing a appropriate auxiliary task to help the model to learnuseful data features.

Revised: Both our approach and the self-supervised learning based methods aim to learna binary classiﬁer on the original data and auxiliary data.

Revised: But they are different in the following twopoints.

Revised: First, in self-supervised learning (e.g. contrastive learning) based methods, the auxiliary dataare generated by some pre-deﬁned and manual operations (e.g. image rotation and cropping).

Original:  Adversarial learning based methods [Malhotra et al. , 2016; Deecke et al. , 2018; Pidhorskyi et al. ,2018; Perera et al. , 2019] are generally constructed with auto-encoder and generative adversarialnetworks (GANs)
Revised: Incontrast, in our approach, the auxiliary data are adaptively and dynamically learned from the originaldata. Second, self-supervised learning based methods are often designed for some speciﬁc types ofdata such image data, whereas it may be difﬁcult to generate auxiliary data for other types of data. Incontrast, it is easy to apply our approach to any types of data. Adversarial learning based methods [Malhotra et al. , 2016; Deecke et al. , 2018; Pidhorskyi et al. ,2018; Perera et al. , 2019] are generally constructed with auto-encoder and generative adversarialnetworks (GANs)
