Description
Summary:Deep learning (DL) has achieved great success in the field of electricity theft detection (ETD). Most existing studies have used supervised mode to complete the DL-based ETD, but they do not have the capability of incremental detection, especially in small sample size scenarios. To address this problem, this paper proposes a semi-supervised ETD approach based on hybrid replay strategy. From the data perspective, this paper designs a hybrid replay strategy that includes a variational autoencoder (VAE) and sample scrambling ranking (SSR) methods, and uses a "rehearsal" method to obtain incremental ETD capability. From the detection method perspective, this paper designs a semi-supervised ETD architecture that uses a temporal convolutional attention network (TCAN) as a feature extractor and uses contrastive learning to improve the utilization of unlabeled sensing samples, thus reducing the labeled sample size required for the fine-tuning process. Experimental results on the Irish smart energy trial (ISET) dataset show that the proposed scheme effectively solves the problem of incremental ETD in small sample size, and achieves 92.72%, 92.70%, 92.57% on accuracy, precision, and f1-score, respectively.
