    Abstract
    In certain business cases the aim is to identify observations that deviate from an identified normal behaviour. It is often the case that only instances of the normal class are known, whereas so called novelties are undiscovered. Novelty detection or anomaly detection approaches usually apply methods from the field of outlier detection. However, anomalies are not always outliers and outliers are not always anomalies. The standard one-class classification approaches therefore underperform in many real business cases. Drawing upon literature about incorporating expert knowledge,we come up with a new method that significantly improves the predictive performance of a one-class model. Combining the available data and expert knowledge about potential anomalies enables us to create synthetic novelties. The latter are incorporated into a standard two-class predictive model. Based on a telco dataset, we prove that our synthetic two-class model clearly outperforms a standard one-class model on the synthetic dataset. In a next step the model was applied to real data. Top identified novelties were manually checked by experts. The results indicate that incorporating expert knowledge to transform a one-class problem into a two-class problem is a valuable method.

    Export search results

    The export option will allow you to export the current search results of the entered query to a file. Different formats are available for download. To export the items, click on the button corresponding with the preferred download format.

    By default, clicking on the export buttons will result in a download of the allowed maximum amount of items.

    To select a subset of the search results, click "Selective Export" button and make a selection of the items you want to export. The amount of items that can be exported at once is similarly restricted as the full export.

    After making a selection, click one of the export format buttons. The amount of items that will be exported is indicated in the bubble next to export format.
