Commentary: A Decomposition of the Outlier Detection Problem into a Set of Supervised Learning Problems

Abstract

This article discusses the material in relation to i Forest (Liu et al. in ACM Trans Knowl Discov Data 6(1):3, 2012 ) reported in a recent Machine Learning Journal paper by Paulheim and Meusel (Mach Learn 100(2–3):509–531, 2015 ). It presents an empirical comparison result of i Forest using the default parameter settings suggested by its creator (Liu et al. 2012 ) and i Forest using the settings employed by Paulheim and Meusel ( 2015 ). This comparison has an impact on the conclusion made by Paulheim and Meusel ( 2015 ).
