• Abstract: Anomaly troubleshooting for large model distributed inference (LMDI) remains a critical challenge. Resolving anomalies such as inference performance degradation or latency jitter in distributed system demands significant manual efforts from domain experts, resulting in extremely time-consuming diagnosis processes with relatively low accuracy. In this paper, we introduce Kunlun Anomaly Troubleshooter (KAT), the first anomaly troubleshooting framework tailored for LMDI. KAT addresses this problem through two core innovations. First, KAT exploits the synchronicity and consistency of GPU workers, innovatively leverages function trace data to precisely detect kernel-level anomalies and associated hardware components at nanosecond resolution. Second, KAT integrates these detection results into a domain-adapted LLM, delivering systematic causal reasoning and natural language interpretation of complex anomaly symptoms. Evaluations conducted in Alibaba Cloud Service production environment indicate that KAT achieves over 0.884 precision and 0.936 recall in anomaly detection, providing detail anomaly insights that significantly narrow down the diagnostic scope and improve both the efficiency and success rate of troubleshooting.

• 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.
