Abstract

In many data stream applications, there is a normal concept, and the objective is to identify normal and abnormal concepts by training only with normal concept instances. This scenario is known in the literature as one-class learning (OCL) for data streams. In this OCL scenario for data streams, we highlight two main gaps: (i) lack of methods based on graph neural networks (GNNs) and (ii) lack of interpretable methods. We introduce OPENCAST (One-class graPh autoENCoder for dAta STream), a new method for data streams based on OCL and GNNs. Our method learns representations while encapsulating the instances of interest through a hypersphere. OPENCAST learns low-dimensional representations to generate interpretability in the representation learning process. OPENCAST achieved state-of-the-art results for data streams in the OCL scenario, outperforming seven other methods. Furthermore, OPENCAST learns low-dimensional representations, generating interpretability in the representation learning process and results.
