Sequential Ensemble Learning for Outlier Detection: A Bias-Variance Perspective

  • We propose a sequential ensemble approach called CARE that employs a two-phase aggregation of the intermediate results.
  • Our ensemble incorporates both the parallel and sequential building blocks to reduce bias as well as variance by (i) successively eliminating outliers from the original dataset to build a better data model on which outlierness is estimated (sequentially), and (ii) combining the results from individual base detectors and across iterations (parallelly).
  • We provide extensive experiments on sixteen real-world datasets, we show that CARE performs significantly better than or at least similar to the individual baselines as well as the existing state-of-the-art outlier ensembles.
