arXiv:2510.02060v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In tabular anomaly detection (AD), textual semantics often carry critical signals, as the definition of an anomaly is closely tied to domain-specific context. However, existing benchmarks provide only raw data points without semantic context, overlooking rich textual metadata such as feature descriptions and domain knowledge that experts rely on in practice. This limitation restricts research flexibility and prevents models from fully leveraging domain knowledge for detection. ReTabAD addresses this gap by restoring textual semantics to
The increasing complexity and reliance on AI for anomaly detection in various domains highlight the limitations of current raw-data-only benchmarks, prompting the need for more context-rich evaluations.
This benchmark addresses a critical gap in AI development by enabling more robust and context-aware anomaly detection models, which are vital for security, finance, and operational stability across many industries.
Anomaly detection models will now have a dedicated benchmark that incorporates textual semantics, fostering research into AI that better leverages domain knowledge and contextual understanding.
