Time series anomaly detection and classification problems have existed and there are various existing solutions to tackle such kind of problems. However, all/most of the solutions are for ideal cases (having enough labelled data or developing a model with average precision/recall) and does not take into account the practical constraints of implementing and deploying a highly generalizable solution. <br />

In this talk, I intend to cover brief overview of how time series anomaly detection problems can be tackled with an unconventional approach which captures the multi-spatial relationships between time and various features, augment the dataset using deep generative models (GANs) and train a classifier to achieve state of the art results. I also intend to briefly touch upon an evaluation framework for measuring GAN performance by evaluating on explicitly parameterized, synthetic data distributions which can be applied to any dataset.

Outline

• Approaches that did not work relative to our benchmark of precision/recall
• Data transformation - an innovative way to transform time series data so as to capture the multi-spatial relationships between time and features.
• Building a deep generative model – configuration parameters for the model which worked in practical implementation and are reproducible
• Discuss the evaluation framework
• How to make this approach work in other domains

Requirements

• Intermediate understanding of CNN
• Basic understanding of the nature of IoT data
