Abstract

An anomaly detector for detecting anomaly in input data comprises an auto-encoder trained to encode the input data and decode the encoded input data to reconstruct the input data. Further, the anomaly detector comprises a classifier trained to determine a reconstruction loss indicative of a difference between the accepted input data and the reconstructed input data, where the reconstruction loss includes a weighted combination of a plurality of loss functions evaluating reconstruction losses of a plurality of parts of the reconstructed input data, different types of loss functions, or both. The classifier is further configured to detect an anomaly in the reconstructed input data when the reconstruction loss is above a threshold.
