Quadratic Neuron-empowered Heterogeneous Autoencoder for Unsupervised Anomaly Detection
IEEE Transactions on Artificial Intelligence(2022)
摘要
Inspired by the complexity and diversity of biological neurons, a quadratic
neuron is proposed to replace the inner product in the current neuron with a
simplified quadratic function. Employing such a novel type of neurons offers a
new perspective on developing deep learning. When analyzing quadratic neurons,
we find that there exists a function such that a heterogeneous network can
approximate it well with a polynomial number of neurons but a purely
conventional or quadratic network needs an exponential number of neurons to
achieve the same level of error. Encouraged by this inspiring theoretical
result on heterogeneous networks, we directly integrate conventional and
quadratic neurons in an autoencoder to make a new type of heterogeneous
autoencoders. To our best knowledge, it is the first heterogeneous autoencoder
that is made of different types of neurons. Next, we apply the proposed
heterogeneous autoencoder to unsupervised anomaly detection for tabular data
and bearing fault signals. The anomaly detection faces difficulties such as
data unknownness, anomaly feature heterogeneity, and feature unnoticeability,
which is suitable for the proposed heterogeneous autoencoder. Its high feature
representation ability can characterize a variety of anomaly data
(heterogeneity), discriminate the anomaly from the normal (unnoticeability),
and accurately learn the distribution of normal samples (unknownness).
Experiments show that heterogeneous autoencoders perform competitively compared
to other state-of-the-art models.
