Researchers have developed a theoretical framework to explain the inlier-memorization (IM) effect, a phenomenon where deep learning models learn normal data patterns before anomalous ones. By studying a simple autoencoder, the study demonstrates how models can memorize inliers while failing to memorize outliers during early training stages. The findings provide practical guidelines for improving outlier detection methods, including data preprocessing and parameter initialization, leading to state-of-the-art performance on the ADBench datasets.
