Glossary

Outlier Detection :

A data mining task in which data points that are outside expected patterns in a given dataset are identified

Central Processing Unit (CPU) :

A hardware component of a computer that is responsible for managing various operations as directed by a program

Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) :

A specialized hardware component of a computer that is designed to rapidly calculate large numbers of mathematical operations, primarily for displaying graphics. Modern GPUs can be programmed to perform a variety of other tasks

General Purpose Computing using GPUs (GPGPU) :

Programming GPUs for computational tasks other than graphics

Parallel Processing :

Computing multiple calculations simultaneously in order to more quickly solve a problem

Definition

Outlier detection is a widely employed data mining technique in which unusual events are extracted from a large body of data. This...
