• Abstract: Hybrid methods have been shown to outperform pure statistical and pure deep learning methods at both forecasting tasks, and at quantifying the uncertainty associated with those forecasts (prediction intervals). One example is Multivariate Exponential Smoothing Long Short-Term Memory (MES-LSTM), a hybrid between a multivariate statistical forecasting model and a Recurrent Neural Network variant, Long Short-Term Memory. It has also been shown that a model that ($i$) produces accurate forecasts and ($ii$) is able to quantify the associated predictive uncertainty satisfactorily, can be successfully adapted to a model suitable for anomaly detection tasks. With the increasing ubiquity of multivariate data and new application domains, there have been numerous anomaly detection methods proposed in recent years. The proposed methods have largely focused on deep learning techniques, which are prone to suffer from challenges such as ($i$) large sets of parameters that may be computationally intensive to tune, $(ii)$ returning too many false positives rendering the techniques impractical for use, $(iii)$ requiring labeled datasets for training which are often not prevalent in real life, and ($iv$) understanding of the root causes of anomaly occurrences inhibited by the predominantly black-box nature of deep learning methods. In this article, an extension of MES-LSTM is presented, an interpretable anomaly detection model that overcomes these challenges. With a focus on renewable energy generation as an application domain, the proposed approach is benchmarked against the state-of-the-art. The findings are that MES-LSTM anomaly detector is at least competitive to the benchmarks at anomaly detection tasks, and less prone to learning from spurious effects than the benchmarks, thus making it more reliable at root cause discovery and explanation.

  Traditional time-series econometric methods often appear incapable of capturing the true complexity of the multi-level interactions driving the price dynamics. By adopting a state-of-the-art second-order optimization algorithm, we train a Bayesian bilinear neural network with temporal attention. By addressing the use of predictive distributions to analyze errors and uncertainties associated with the estimated parameters and model forecasts, we thoroughly compare our Bayesian model with traditional ML alternatives.
