Automated detection of abnormalities in data has been studied in research area in recent years because of its diverse applications in practice including video surveillance, industrial damage detection and network intrusion detection. However, building an effective anomaly detection system is a non-trivial task since it requires to tackle challenging issues of the shortage of annotated data, inability of defining anomaly objects explicitly and the expensive cost of feature engineering procedure. Unlike existing appoaches which only partially solve these problems, we develop a unique framework to cope the problems above simultaneously. Instead of hanlding with ambiguous definition of anomaly objects, we propose to work with regular patterns whose unlabeled data is abundant and usually easy to collect in practice. This allows our system to be trained completely in an unsupervised procedure and liberate us from the need for costly data annotation. By learning generative model that capture the normality distribution in data, we can isolate abnormal data points that result in low normality scores (high abnormality scores). Moreover, by leverage on the power of generative networks, i.e. energy-based models, we are also able to learn the feature representation automatically rather than replying on hand-crafted features that have been dominating anomaly detection research over many decades. We demonstrate our proposal on the specific application of video anomaly detection and the experimental results indicate that our method performs better than baselines and are comparable with state-of-the-art methods in many benchmark video anomaly detection datasets.
