Probabilistic autoencoder with multi-scale feature extraction for multivariate time series anomaly detection

Abstract

Effectively detecting anomalies for multivariate time series is of great importance for the modern industrial system. Recently, reconstruction-based deep learning methods have been widely used in time series anomaly detection. However, the rich local and global characteristics of time series may not be well captured by methods that compress and reconstruct time series through a single-scale neural network. In addition, under the influence of a complex environment, small fluctuations occur during the normal operation of the system, which will also bring challenges for those methods to reconstruct exact values. In this paper, we propose an unsupervised multivariate time series anomaly detection method based on a probabilistic autoencoder with multi-scale feature extraction (PAMFE). The multiple parallel dilated convolutions with different dilation factors and feature fusion module enable PAMFE to capture overall and detailed information of time series to identify various types of anomalies better. Furthermore, considering the normal fluctuation of data, we reconstruct the expected distribution of input and calculate the anomaly score based on the probability that the input belongs to the distribution. Extensive experiments on four publicly real-world datasets demonstrate that PAMFE outperforms state-of-the-art methods in F1-Score. Moreover, we investigate the contributions of the major components of PAMFE, and the experimental results show that they all contribute to performance improvement.
