RADE: Resource-Efficient Supervised Anomaly Detection Using Decision Tree-Based Ensemble Methods

Decision-tree-based ensemble classification methods (DTEMs) are a prevalent tool for supervised anomaly detection. However, due to the continued growth of datasets, DTEMs result in increasing drawbacks such as growing memory footprints, longer training times, and slower classification latencies at lower throughput. In this paper, we present, design, and evaluate RADE - a DTEM-based anomaly detection framework that augments standard DTEM classifiers and alleviates these drawbacks by relying on two observations: (1) we find that a small (coarse-grained) DTEM model is sufficient to classify the majority of the classification queries correctly, such that a classification is valid only if its corresponding confidence level is greater than or equal to a predetermined classification confidence threshold; (2) we find that in these fewer harder cases where our coarse-grained DTEM model results in insufficient confidence in its classification, we can improve it by forwarding the classification query to one of expert DTEM (fine-grained) models, which is explicitly trained for that particular case. We implement RADE in Python based on scikit-learn and evaluate it over different DTEM methods: RF, XGBoost, AdaBoost, GBDT and LightGBM, and over three publicly available datasets. Our evaluation over both a strong AWS EC2 instance and a Raspberry Pi 3 device indicates that RADE offers competitive and often superior anomaly detection capabilities as compared to standard DTEM methods, while significantly improving memory footprint (by up to 5.46x), training-time (by up to 17.2x), and classification latency (by up to 31.2x).
