• Title: Time series anomaly detection with reconstruction-based state-space models
• Authors: Fan Wang, Keli Wang, Boyu Yao
• Abstract summary: We propose a novel unsupervised anomaly detection method for time series data. A long short-term memory (LSTM)-based encoder-decoder is adopted to represent the mapping between the observation space and the latent space. Regularization of the latent space places constraints on the states of normal samples, and Mahalanobis distance is used to evaluate the abnormality level.

• Abstract: Recent advances in digitization have led to the availability of multivariate time series data in various domains, enabling real-time monitoring of operations. Identifying abnormal data patterns and detecting potential failures in these scenarios are important yet rather challenging. In this work, we propose a novel unsupervised anomaly detection method for time series data. The proposed framework jointly learns the observation model and the dynamic model, and model uncertainty is estimated from normal samples. Specifically, a long short-term memory (LSTM)-based encoder-decoder is adopted to represent the mapping between the observation space and the latent space. Bidirectional transitions of states are simultaneously modeled by leveraging backward and forward temporal information. Regularization of the latent space places constraints on the states of normal samples, and Mahalanobis distance is used to evaluate the abnormality level. Empirical studies on synthetic and real-world datasets demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed method in anomaly detection tasks.

  One main challenge in time series anomaly detection (TSAD) is the lack of labelled data in many real-life scenarios. Most of the existing anomaly detection methods focus on learning the normal behaviour of unlabelled time series in an unsupervised manner.

• 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.
