AutoOD: Automatic Outlier Detection
Summary: AutoOD merges multiple unsupervised outlier detectors with a learned, custom outlier classifier to produce labels without ground truth. It exploits cross-detector signals to outperform the best unsupervised detector and tuning-free baselines on diverse benchmarks. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
