Unsupervised Bump Hunting Using Principal Components
Principal Components Analysis is a widely used technique for dimension reduction and characterization of variability in multivariate populations. Our interest lies in studying when and why the rotation to principal components can be used effectively within a response-predictor set relationship in the context of mode hunting. Specifically focusing on the Patient Rule Induction Method (PRIM), we first develop a fast version of this algorithm (fastPRIM) under normality which facilitates the theoretical studies to follow. Using basic geometrical arguments, we then demonstrate how the PC rotation of the predictor space alone can in fact generate improved mode estimators. Simulation results are used to illustrate our findings.

PRIM-cipal components analysis
Supervised No Free Lunch Theorems (NFLTs) are well studied, yet unsupervised NFLTs remain underexplored. For elliptical distributions, we prove that there exist two equally optimal, scientifically meaningful bump-hunting…
Bump hunting through density curvature features
Bump hunting deals with finding in sample spaces meaningful data subsets known as bumps. These have traditionally been conceived as modal or concave regions in the graph of the underlying density function. We define an a…

Unsupervised anomaly detection could be crucial in future analyses searching for rare phenomena in large datasets, as for example collected at the LHC. To this end, we introduce a physics inspired variational autoencoder…

We propose a new method to find modes based on active information. We develop an algorithm that, when applied to the whole space, will say whether there are any modes present \textit{and} where they are; this algorithm w…
Enabling Efficient Cyber Threat Hunting With Cyber Threat Intelligence
Log-based cyber threat hunting has emerged as an important solution to counter sophisticated attacks. However, existing approaches require non-trivial efforts of manual query construction and have overlooked the rich ext…
