Title: Randomized PCA Forest for Unsupervised Outlier Detection

Abstract:
arXiv:2508.12776v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose a novel unsupervised outlier detection method based on Randomized Principal Component Analysis (PCA). Motivated by the performance of Randomized PCA (RPCA) Forest in approximate K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) search, we develop a novel unsupervised outlier detection method that utilizes RPCA Forest for unsupervised outlier detection by deriving an outlier score from its intrinsic properties. Experimental results showcase the superior
