Anomaly detection for large complex data

My PhD has focused on the use of distance measures in high-dimensional spaces, and the development of new distance measures to counteract the so-called curse of dimensionality. In high-dimensional settings, measuring dispersion of data is fraught with challenges. The novel distance measures I have produced during my PhD aim to consider the following issues:

• The (approximate) degeneracy of data, making the inverse of the covariance matrix non-existent
• The high-probability of correlation within groups of data, which can return unwanted results when measuring distances
• The possibility of different subspaces within one set of data
• The computational time of high-dimensional data methods, which often makes analysis very expensive, impractical or completely infeasible.

The application of such research is broad, as distance measures are heavily relied upon in statistical, data science and machine learning methods.
