Multiview Outlier Detection in Deep Intact Space Recently, multiview outlier detection has emerged as a challenging research topic in outlier detection because of complex distributions of data across different views. There are mainly three types of outliers, i.e., attribute outliers, class outliers and classattribute outliers. Most existing multiview outlier detection approaches only detect part of the three types of outliers in a pairwise manner across different views, which is not able to accomplish the task of multiview outlier detection comprehensively and uniformly. Outlier detection in a pairwise manner across different views also leads to timeconsuming computation. We propose a new algorithm termed Multiview Outlier Detection in Deep Intact Space (MODDIS) to find all the three types of outliers simultaneously and avoid comparing different views in a pairwise manner. Rather than leveraging subspace clustering, the performance of which is seriously affected by the dependence of subspaces on most real datasets, neural networks are employed in MODDIS in that neural networks have a stronger representation learning ability. Meanwhile, based on the view insufficiency assumption, a multiview intact outlierness space assumption is proposed. Based on this assumption, a multiview latent intact space is constructed to encode outlierness information of all views, where outlierness in any view is a snapshot from some perspective. Finally, an outlier detection measurement is defined in the latent intact space. Experiments are conducted on several UCI datasets and the empirical results demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed method.

MIX: A Joint Learning Framework for Detecting Both Clustered and Scattered Outliers in MixedType Data Mixedtype data are pervasive in real life, but very limited outlier detection methods are available for these data. Some existing methods handle mixedtype data by feature converting, whereas their performance is downgraded by information loss and noise caused by the transformation. Another kind of approaches separately evaluates outlierness in numerical and categorical features. However, they fail to adequately consider the behaviours of data objects in different feature spaces, often leading to suboptimal results. As for outlier form, both clustered outliers and scattered outliers are contained in many realworld data, but a number of outlier detectors are inherently restricted by their outlier definitions to simultaneously detect both of them. To address these issues, an unsupervised outlier detection method MIX is proposed. MIX constructs a joint learning framework to establish a cooperation mechanism to make separate outlier scoring constantly communicate and sufficiently grasp the behaviours of data objects in another feature space. Specifically, MIX iteratively performs outlier scoring in numerical and categorical space. Each outlier scoring phase can be iteratively and cooperatively enhanced by the prior knowledge given by another feature space. To target both clustered and scattered outliers, the outlier scoring phases capture the essential characteristic of outliers, i.e., evaluating outlierness via the deviation from the normal model. We show that MIX significantly outperforms eight stateoftheart outlier detectors on twelve realworld datasets and obtains good scalability.
