Multi-Domain Outlier Detection Dataset

The Multi-Domain Outlier Detection Dataset contains datasets for conducting outlier detection experiments for four different application domains: Astrophysics - detecting anomalous observations in the Dark Energy Survey (DES) catalog (data type: feature vectors) Planetary science - selecting novel geologic targets for follow-up observation onboard the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover (data type: grayscale images) Earth science: detecting anomalous samples in satellite time series corresponding to ground-truth observations of maize crops (data type: time series/feature vectors) Fashion-MNIST/MNIST: benchmark task to detect anomalous MNIST images among Fashion-MNIST images (data type: grayscale images) Each dataset contains a "fit" dataset (used for fitting or training outlier detection models), a "score" dataset (used for scoring samples used to evaluate model performance, analogous to test set), and a label dataset (indicates whether samples in the score dataset are considered outliers or not in the domain of each dataset).
