Bayesian Autoencoder Anomaly Detection

Bayesian Autoencoder Anomaly Detection uses a Variational Autoencoder — a probabilistic generative model trained on normal data — to flag anomalies by their high reconstruction error or low likelihood under the learned distribution. By treating the latent space as a probability distribution rather than a fixed point, it delivers principled uncertainty estimates alongside each anomaly score, making it especially valuable in high-stakes detection tasks.
