It is meaningful for data-driven studies to detect and remove the anomaly data from a given raw dataset. Considering the existing anomaly data detection (ADD) methods have some drawbacks, e.g. confidence and uncertainty in anomaly description, computation cost of kernel learning and deep learning in ADD, therefore this paper proposes an advanced approach for constructing low-cost and effective ADD detectors. Firstly, making use of the good data description ability of information granules, granular data descriptors are constructed for anomaly and normal data description. Then, based on these data descriptors, reconstruction-based strategy is applied to model anomaly detection. Subsequently, with consideration of anomaly data’s uncertainty, fuzzy rules are formed and used to realize the final anomaly data detection. In this study, both synthetic and publicly available datasets are considered in experimental analysis. Numerical results illustrate the proposed method has a superiority ranging from 8.60% to 32.58% to conventional models on ADD performance, verifying the feasibility and effectiveness the proposed methods via granular data descriptors. Moreover, through the discussion on computation complexity, the proposed method is also demonstrated efficient on detecting anomalies.
