Abstract

Providing clean and safe drinking water is a crucial task for any water supply company. In such an activity, automatic anomaly detection plays a critical role in drinking water quality monitoring. Recent anomaly detection techniques use tools from the machine learning area, where after a supervised learning process, a given machine learning representation can classify an event as normal or as an anomaly. Most of the times this learning process is performed via optimisation with a single objective cost function. Nevertheless, a trade-off between false positives and false negatives in the classifying task must be achieved. For this task, multi-objective optimisation could be an interesting tool. In this exploratory work, it is used the simplest classifier machine and logistic regression, and it is explored the advantages of using a multi-objective optimisation approach for its training.
