When facing anomalies, the model should worsen its reconstruction performance. In most cases, only data with normal instances are used to train the autoencoder; in others, the frequency of anomalies is small compared to the observation set so that its contribution to the learned representation could be ignored. After training, the autoencoder will accurately reconstruct "normal" data, while failing to do so with unfamiliar anomalous data.<ref name=":8" /> Reconstruction error (the error between the original data and its low dimensional reconstruction) is used as an anomaly score to detect anomalies.<ref name=":8" />
Recent literature has however shown that certain autoencoding models can, counterintuitively, be very good at reconstructing anomalous examples and consequently not able to reliably perform anomaly detection.<ref>{{cite arXiv|last1=Nalisnick|first1=Eric|last2=Matsukawa|first2=Akihiro|last3=Teh|first3=Yee Whye|last4=Gorur|first4=Dilan|last5=Lakshminarayanan|first5=Balaji|date=2019-02-24|title=Do Deep Generative Models Know What They Don't Know?|class=stat.ML|eprint=1810.09136}}</ref><ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Xiao|first1=Zhisheng|last2=Yan|first2=Qing|last3=Amit|first3=Yali|date=2020|title=Likelihood Regret: An Out-of-Distribution Detection Score For Variational Auto-encoder|url=https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper/2020/hash/eddea82ad2755b24c4e168c5fc2ebd40-Abstract.html|journal=Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems|language=en|volume=33|arxiv=2003.02977}}</ref>
