Reimagining Anomalies: What If Anomalies Were Normal?Deep learning-based methods have achieved a breakthrough in image anomaly detection, but their complexity introduces a considerable challenge to understanding why an instance is predicted to be anomalous. We introduce a novel explanation method that generates multiple counterfactual examples for each anomaly, capturing diverse concepts of anomalousness. A counterfactual example is a modification of the anomaly that is perceived as normal by the anomaly detector. The method provides a high-level…
