Foreword

Being an active research topic in data mining, outlier detection aims to discover observations in a dataset that deviate from other observations so much as to arouse suspicions that they are generated by a different mechanism and is of utmost importance in many application domains. Unsupervised outlier detection plays a crucial role in the outlier detection research and sets out enormous theoretical and applied challenges to advanced data mining technology using unsupervised learning techniques. This monograph addresses unsupervised outlier detection in a local setting of k-nearest neighborhood. Unlike traditional distribution-based outlier detection techniques, k-nearest neighbor-based outlier detection approaches, typified
