The paper proposes a novel unsupervised approach for detecting abnormal events in event sequence data using generative adversarial networks (GANs) and reinforcement learning (RL). The framework is based on correcting outliers in the data with a generator, which also serves as data augmentation for the discriminator. This online method outperforms state-of-the-art approaches in detecting event outliers.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
The paper creates a new way to find unusual events in continuous time data without needing human help. They use GANs and RL to develop an unsupervised approach that can detect abnormal events. Their unique idea is that the generator, which corrects errors, also helps train the discriminator by creating different anomalies. This online method does better than current methods for detecting unusual events.
