• Goren Huber, L. (2024) 'A data-centric-AI trick to clean your dirty data', in Detecting unusual or abnormal patterns in data is one of the common tasks of AI algorithms in commercial applications. In some applications, such as fraud detection, defect detection or medical diagnostics, anomaly detection is the main objective. In other applications, detecting abnormal data points is part of the data cleaning and preparation pipeline. In all cases, the use of AI-based methods relies on having a training dataset which can represent the normal behaviour, and must therefore be free of anomalies. Problems arise when we realize that having an anomaly-free training dataset is not always possible in practice: most real-world datasets are contaminated with unknown anomalies or mislabeled data.
