Is AUC the best measure for practical comparison of anomaly detectors?

Vít Škvára, Tomáš Pevný, Václav Šmídl

The area under receiver operating characteristics (AUC) is the standard measure for comparison of anomaly detectors. Its advantage is in providing a scalar number that allows a nat…

Fitting large mixture models using stochastic component selection

Milan Papež, Tomáš Pevný, Václav Šmídl

Traditional methods for unsupervised learning of finite mixture models require to evaluate the likelihood of all components of the mixture. This becomes computationally prohibitive…

Comparison of Anomaly Detectors: Context Matters

Vít Škvára, Jan Franců, Matěj Zorek +2

Deep generative models are challenging the classical methods in the field of anomaly detection nowadays. Every new method provides evidence of outperforming its predecessors, often…

Solvability of the Power Flow Problem in DC Overhead Wire Circuit

Jakub Ševčík, Lukáš Adam, Jan Přikryl +1

Proper traffic simulation of electric vehicles, which draw energy from overhead wires, requires adequate modeling of traction infrastructure. Such vehicles include trains, trams or…

DeepTopPush: Simple and Scalable Method for Accuracy at the Top

Václav Mácha, Lukáš Adam, Václav Šmídl

Accuracy at the top is a special class of binary classification problems where the performance is evaluated only on a small number of relevant (top) samples. Applications include i…

Neural Power Units

Niklas Heim, Tomáš Pevný, Václav Šmídl

Conventional Neural Networks can approximate simple arithmetic operations, but fail to generalize beyond the range of numbers that were seen during training. Neural Arithmetic Unit…

Sum-Product-Transform Networks: Exploiting Symmetries using Invertible Transformations

Tomas Pevny, Vasek Smidl, Martin Trapp +2

In this work, we propose Sum-Product-Transform Networks (SPTN), an extension of sum-product networks that uses invertible transformations as additional internal nodes. The type and…

General Framework for Binary Classification on Top Samples

Lukáš Adam, Václav Mácha, Václav Šmídl +1

Many binary classification problems minimize misclassification above (or below) a threshold. We show that instances of ranking problems, accuracy at the top or hypothesis testing m…

Nonlinear classifiers for ranking problems based on kernelized SVM

Václav Mácha, Lukáš Adam, Václav Šmídl

Many classification problems focus on maximizing the performance only on the samples with the highest relevance instead of all samples. As an example, we can mention ranking proble…

Anomaly scores for generative models

Václav Šmídl, Jan Bím, Tomáš Pevný

Reconstruction error is a prevalent score used to identify anomalous samples when data are modeled by generative models, such as (variational) auto-encoders or generative adversari…

Are generative deep models for novelty detection truly better?

Vít Škvára, Tomáš Pevný, Václav Šmídl

Many deep models have been recently proposed for anomaly detection. This paper presents comparison of selected generative deep models and classical anomaly detection methods on an…

Sparse and Smooth Prior for Bayesian Linear Regression with Application to ETEX Data

Lukas Ulrych, Vaclav Smidl

Sparsity of the solution of a linear regression model is a common requirement, and many prior distributions have been designed for this purpose. A combination of the sparsity requi…

Adaptive Multiple Importance Sampling for Gaussian Processes

Xiaoyu Xiong, Václav Šmídl, Maurizio Filippone

In applications of Gaussian processes where quantification of uncertainty is a strict requirement, it is necessary to accurately characterize the posterior distribution over Gaussi…

Non-parametric Bayesian Models of Response Function in Dynamic Image Sequences

Ondřej Tichý, Václav Šmídl

Estimation of response functions is an important task in dynamic medical imaging. This task arises for example in dynamic renal scintigraphy, where impulse response or retention fu…
