Faculty and Ph.D. students @VT_CS @SanghaniCtrVT were among the organizers and presenters at #KDD2022 this week in Washington, DC. The conference was also a good opportunity to meet up with alums and colleagues from other universities.

Anomaly detection methods compute an anomaly score A(x), and in research, we measure their effectiveness using AUC for the binary decision "anomaly" vs. "not anomaly". But in applications, we need to choose a threshold tau. How can we set tau without having labeled anomalies? 1/

Useful thread w/ refs to recent happenings. cc @devDdata , @ShengzheXu.
I'd like to hear from experts about the state of the art in outlier detection and the related question of identifying parts of complex inputs (text or images) that novel / go "beyond" the training data.

Nice to see you on Twitter John! Yes, this recommendation indeed ties in nicely with @SanghaniCtrVT's current work on anomaly detection in large tabular datasets. cc: @devDdata @tripswithtires. Paper available here: people.cs.vt.edu/naren/paper…
The 1st rec mentioned is to improve SIMP enforcement using predictive analytics & machine learning. It'd be great to expand our @WWFscience /@TRAFFIC_WLTrade/@SanghaniCtrVT timber shipment targeting research to include seafood! More on our research here: ojs.aaai.org//index.php/AAAI…

For this new study, Brian Goode @FralinLifeSci conducted modeling through @VT_DAC and teamed up with DAC director @profnaren and @VT_CS Ph.D. student @devDdata to gather and analyze data. @Princeton @PNASNews
A cohort of 160 research teams used a rich dataset and state-of-the-art #MachineLearning and #AI tools to make predictions about the life outcomes of children. According to a new @PNASNews study, even the best predictions were wrong. @Princeton @VT_DAC vtnews.vt.edu/articles/2020/…

Curious that we spend more time congratulating people who have succeeded than encouraging people who have not.

Wanting to help solve real world challenges brought @devDdata to @VT_DAC. Working w/@WWF he analyzes thousands of lines of export & import data to detect patterns of suspicious timber records related to possible illegal trade. Student Spotlight: bit.ly/2V6PcnS @VT_CS

Detecting Suspicious Timber Trades, @VT_DAC research in collaboration with @WWF, has been accepted in the IAAI-2020 conference collocated with #AAAI20. Ph.D. student Debanjan Datta @devDdata @VT_CS will present the paper in NYC in Feb. @Raihan0155 @tripswithtires @profnaren
