Deep generative models are challenging the classical methods in the field of anomaly detection nowadays. Every new method provides evidence of outperforming its predecessors, often with contradictory results. The objective of this comparison is twofold: comparison of anomaly detection methods of various paradigms, and identification of sources of variability that can yield different results. The methods were compared on popular tabular and image datasets. While the one class support-vector machine (OC-SVM) had no rival on the tabular datasets, the best results on the image data were obtained either by a feature-matching GAN or a combination of variational autoencoder (VAE) and OC-SVM, depending on the experimental conditions. The main sources of variability that can influence the performance of the methods were identified to be: the range of searched hyper-parameters, the methodology of model selection, and the choice of the anomalous samples. All our code and results are available for download.
