Abstract

We present in this paper a new measure named GOF (Group Outlier Factor) for cluster outliers and novelty detection. The main difference between GOF and existing methods is that being an outlier is not associated to a single pattern but to a cluster. GOF is based on relative density of each group of data and provides a quantitative indicator of outlier-ness which enables to detect automatically "cluster outliers". To learn GOF measure, we integrate it in a clustering process using Self-organizing Map. Experimental results and comparison studies show that the use of GOF sensibly improves the results in term of cluster-outlier detection and novelty detection.
