Abstract

In the field of anomaly detection, the boundaries of anomalies are always blurred, and professional knowledge is required to define them, which consumes a lot of manpower and time to mark what anomalies are. In this paper, a Variational Auto-Encoder(VAE) neural network model is used, and an unsupervised learning anomaly detection model that considers both temporal dependencies and reconstructed features. In the calculus of marking outliers, we propose a two-dimensional sliding window with a clustering algorithm to solve the traditional method of judging outliers using a single threshold. Experimental results based on Yahoo Webscope dataset show that the performance can be ameliorated by the proposed method.

Keyphrases: anomaly detection, two-dimensional sliding window, variational auto-encoder
