Anomaly Severity Classification (Anomaly vs. Defect)

Computer Vision

Anomaly Severity Classification is a novel task that extends traditional anomaly detection by distinguishing between negligible anomalies and critical defects. While existing benchmarks focus on identifying whether an input deviates from normality, this task introduces a deployment-oriented perspective—evaluating the actionability of detected anomalies. For example, cosmetic deviations or design shifts may be acceptable (anomalies), while structural damages require intervention (defects). This task supports more informed and automated decision-making in industrial and quality control settings. It was introduced in the VELM paper, alongside a simulation benchmark derived from the MVTec-AC dataset.

Benchmarks archive 2025-07-28

1 leaderboard table shown for this task, 1 with rows (a “benchmark” on this site is a table with at least one row, as on /sota), ordered by row count. “Best model” is the first row in the archive's own order at snapshot; nothing is re-ranked here and metric direction is not recorded in the archive. PwC's Trend sparklines are not in the archive, so that column is omitted.

Syntology column: samples harvested from the paper's repositories and executed on synthesized fixtures; “ran” is not a correctness claim and does not order the table. A dash means no Syntology record for that paper, not a recorded non-run. Read from the graph 2026-09-24.
