• Abstract: Anomaly detection in time series has been widely researched and has important practical applications. In recent years, anomaly detection algorithms are mostly based on deep-learning generative models and use the reconstruction error to detect anomalies. They try to capture the distribution of normal data by reconstructing normal data in the training phase, then calculate the reconstruction error of test data to do anomaly detection. However, most of them only use the normal data in the training phase and can not ensure the reconstruction process of anomaly data. So, anomaly data can also be well reconstructed sometimes and gets low reconstruction error, which leads to the omission of anomalies. What's more, the neighbor information of data points in time series data has not been fully utilized in these algorithms. In this paper, we propose RAN based on the idea of Reconstruct Anomalies to Normal and apply it for unsupervised time series anomaly detection. To minimize the reconstruction error of normal data and maximize this of anomaly data, we do not just ensure normal data to reconstruct well, but also try to make the reconstruction of anomaly data consistent with the distribution of normal data, then anomalies will get higher reconstruction errors. We implement this idea by introducing the "imitated anomaly data" and combining a specially designed latent vector-constrained Autoencoder with the discriminator to construct an adversary network. Extensive experiments on time-series datasets from different scenes such as ECG diagnosis also show that RAN can detect meaningful anomalies, and it outperforms other algorithms in terms of AUC-ROC.

  A typical approach to anomaly detection is to train an autoencoder (AE) with normal data only so that it learns the patterns or representations of the normal data. We propose creating pseudo anomalies from learned adaptive noise by exploiting the weakness of AE, i.e., reconstructing anomalies too well.

  This work investigates approaches to allow reconstruction error-based architectures to instruct the model to put known anomalies outside of the domain description of the normal data. Specifically, our strategy exploits a limited number of anomalous examples to increase the contrast between the reconstruction error associated with normal examples and those associated with both known and unknown anomalies.

  Autoencoder (AE) is trained to reconstruct the input with training set consisting only of normal data. AE is then expected to well reconstruct the normal data while poorly reconstructing the anomalous data. We propose a novel methodology to train AEs with the objective of reconstructing only normal data, regardless of the input.

  We consider the problem of anomaly detection with a small set of partially labeled anomaly examples and a large-scale unlabeled dataset. Existing related methods either exclusively fit the limited anomaly examples that typically do not span the entire set of anomalies, or proceed with unsupervised learning from the unlabeled data. We propose here instead a deep reinforcement learning-based approach that enables an end-to-end optimization of the detection of both labeled and unlabeled anomalies.
