Query: Ignoring Distractors in the Absence of Labels: Optimal Linear Projection
  to Remove False Positives During Anomaly Detection   In the anomaly detection setting, the native feature embedding can be a
crucial source of bias. We present a technique, Feature Omission using Context
in Unsupervised Settings (FOCUS) to learn a feature mapping that is invariant
to changes exemplified in training sets while retaining as much descriptive
power as possible. While this method could apply to many unsupervised settings,
we focus on applications in anomaly detection, where little task-labeled data
is available. Our algorithm requires only non-anomalous sets of data, and does
not require that the contexts in the training sets match the context of the
test set. By maximizing within-set variance and minimizing between-set
variance, we are able to identify and remove distracting features while
retaining fidelity to the descriptiveness needed at test time. In the linear
case, our formulation reduces to a generalized eigenvalue problem that can be
solved quickly and applied to test sets outside the context of the training
sets. This technique allows us to align technical definitions of anomaly
detection with human definitions through appropriate mappings of the feature
space. We demonstrate that this method is able to remove uninformative parts of
the feature space for the anomaly detection setting.
