• ✅ Mar 10, 2025. TailedCore code released.

TL;DR: We suggest a novel practical challenging anomaly detection task, noisy long-tailed anomaly detection where tail classes are unknown and head classes are contaminated. We suggest TailSampler, which first tail classes with class size estimation and denoise head classes seprately.

Performance comparison with baselines

Pipeine of TailedCore

Noise discriminative models remove tail classes(left) while greedy sampling samples both tail and noise

Ablation with noise ratio comparing with baselines

🪒 Installation

Install the required packages with the command below

bash install_packages.sh

💾 Dataset Preparation

Noisy Long-Tail MVTecAD

Download MVTecAD dataset from the link, and place it at, for example, ./datasets/mvtecad. Then run the following

bash make_all_mvtecad_nlt.sh

Noisy Long-Tail VisA

Download VisA dataset from the link, and place it at, for example, ./datasets/visa. Then run the following

bash make_all_mvtecad_nlt.sh

Train/test

After generating the noisy long-tailed dataset, run the code to train model. The configuration file for training or testing should be saved in ./configs directory.

python main.py --dataset --mvtec --noisy_lt_dataset paretno_nr0.1_seed42 --config tailedcore_mvtec

Code Structure

Refer the files coreset_model for the code of each models sampler for the code of each samplers

which are the core codes of our method.
