ANOMALY DETECTION IN TIME-SERIES DATA USING STATE INFERENCE AND MACHINE LEARNING

摘要

Techniques are provided for anomaly detection in time-series data using state inference and machine learning. An exemplary method comprises: obtaining detected states of a plurality of data samples in temporal data, wherein each data sample in the temporal data has a corresponding detected state; obtaining a likelihood that each of the data samples belongs to the corresponding detected state; obtaining a distribution of likelihoods of the data samples indicating a number of observations of each of a plurality of likelihood values; training, using a supervised learning technique, an anomaly detection model that, given the distribution of likelihoods and one or more anomaly thresholds, generates a quality score for each of the anomaly thresholds; and selecting at least one anomaly threshold based on the quality score, wherein the trained anomaly detection model is applied to detect anomalies in new temporal data samples using the selected at least one anomaly threshold.
