Subspace Methods: Instead of examining the entire feature space, subspace methods focus on detecting outliers in lower-dimensional subspaces where anomalies are more apparent.
Clustering-Based Approaches: Clustering methods can be adapted to identify clusters of normal data and then classify data points outside these clusters as outliers.
Statistical Approaches: Techniques such as robust statistical measures (e.g., robust covariance estimation, robust Mahalanobis distance) are being developed to better handle high-dimensional data.
Density-Based Methods: Density estimation techniques, such as local outlier factor (LOF) and density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise (DBSCAN), are extended to high-dimensional spaces.
Ensemble Methods: Combining multiple outlier detection algorithms or using ensemble techniques can improve detection accuracy in high-dimensional scenarios.
Deep Learning Approaches: Deep learning models, such as autoencoders, are being explored for anomaly detection in high-dimensional data, leveraging their ability to learn complex representations.
Streaming and Online Methods: Algorithms that can adapt to streaming data or perform online outlier detection are becoming increasingly important with the rise of real-time data processing.
