Abstract

In this paper, we formally define the problem of outlier detection in categorical data as an optimization problem from a global viewpoint. Moreover, we present a local-search heuristic based algorithm for efficiently finding feasible solutions. Experimental results on real datasets and large synthetic datasets demonstrate the superiority of our model and algorithm.
