Unseen Anomaly Detection on Networks via Multi-Hypersphere Learning
Shuang Zhou, Xiao Huang, Ninghao Liu, Qiaoyu Tan, Fu-Lai Chung
Network anomaly detection is a crucial task since a few anomalies can cause huge losses. Semi-supervised anomaly detection methods can effectively leverage a small number of labels as prior knowledge to enhance detection accuracy. But in real-world scenarios, novel types of anomalies (i.e., unseen anomalies) usually exist on networks which may present different characteristics with the seen anomalies and are hard to be identified by prior semi-supervised anomaly detection methods. In this paper, we propose the novel problem of unseen network anomaly detection that aims to identify both seen and unseen anomalies to eliminate potential dangers. Accordingly, we propose a method called Multi-hypersphere Graph Learning (MHGL) to effectively leverage existing labels by learning fine-grained normal patterns to discriminate anomalies. Experiments demonstrate that MHGL outperforms state-of-the-art methods significantly.
