The field of anomaly detection and data augmentation is moving towards more robust and effective methods, with a focus on addressing the challenges of scarce labeled data and complex temporal dependencies. Recent developments have introduced novel approaches that combine techniques such as diffusion models, active learning, and dual-space mixup to improve detection accuracy and reduce labeling costs. These advancements have shown significant improvements over existing methods, with enhanced robustness against contaminated training data. Noteworthy papers include: NoiseCutMix, which proposes a novel data augmentation method that introduces the concept of CutMix into the generation process of diffusion models. Adversarial Augmentation and Active Sampling for Robust Cyber Anomaly Detection, which combines AutoEncoders for anomaly detection with active learning to iteratively enhance APT detection. CAPMix, which proposes a controllable anomaly augmentation framework that addresses the issues of patchy generation and anomaly shift. STAGE, which introduces a novel anomaly inference strategy that incorporates clean background information as a prior to guide the denoising distribution.
