• Abstract summary: We propose a novel semi-supervised anomaly detection framework based on a heterogeneous feature network (HFN) for MTS. We first combine the embedding similarity subgraph generated by sensor embedding and feature value similarity subgraph generated by sensor values to construct a time-series heterogeneous graph. This approach fuses the state-of-the-art technologies of heterogeneous graph structure learning (HGSL) and representation learning.

• Abstract: Network or physical attacks on industrial equipment or computer systems may cause massive losses. Therefore, a quick and accurate anomaly detection (AD) based on monitoring data, especially the multivariate time-series (MTS) data, is of great significance. As the key step of anomaly detection for MTS data, learning the relations among different variables has been explored by many approaches. However, most of the existing approaches do not consider the heterogeneity between variables, that is, different types of variables (continuous numerical variables, discrete categorical variables or hybrid variables) may have different and distinctive edge distributions. In this paper, we propose a novel semi-supervised anomaly detection framework based on a heterogeneous feature network (HFN) for MTS, learning heterogeneous structure information from a mass of unlabeled time-series data to improve the accuracy of anomaly detection, and using attention coefficient to provide an explanation for the detected anomalies. Specifically, we first combine the embedding similarity subgraph generated by sensor embedding and feature value similarity subgraph generated by sensor values to construct a time-series heterogeneous graph, which fully utilizes the rich heterogeneous mutual information among variables. Then, a prediction model containing nodes and channel attentions is jointly optimized to obtain better time-series representations. This approach fuses the state-of-the-art technologies of heterogeneous graph structure learning (HGSL) and representation learning. The experiments on four sensor datasets from real-world applications demonstrate that our approach detects the anomalies more accurately than those baseline approaches, thus providing a basis for the rapid positioning of anomalies.

  Multi-dimensional time series anomaly detection technology plays an important role in many fields including aerospace, water treatment, cloud service providers, etc. It is becoming increasingly challenging to perform effective and accurate anomaly detection in high-dimensional and complex data sets. We propose a hypergraph basedtemporal graph convolutional network model STGCN_Hyper, which explicitly captures high-order, multi-hop correlations between multiple variables. Our model can flexibly learn the multi-scale time series features in the data and the dependencies between features, and outperforms most existing baseline models in terms of precision, recall, F1-score on anomaly detection

Uniquely, our GA approach involves explicit alignment of both nodes and edges, employing Wasserstein distance for nodes and Gromov-Wasserstein distance for edges. Experiments on diverse real-world datasets validate the effectiveness of MADGA, demonstrating its capability to detect anomalies and differentiate interdependencies.

• Causality-Based Multivariate Time Series Anomaly Detection [63.799474860969156]
  We formulate the anomaly detection problem from a causal perspective and view anomalies as instances that do not follow the regular causal mechanism to generate the multivariate data. We then propose a causality-based anomaly detection approach, which first learns the causal structure from data and then infers whether an instance is an anomaly relative to the local causal mechanism. We evaluate our approach with both simulated and public datasets as well as a case study on real-world AIOps applications.
