Unsupervised Anomaly Detection in Multivariate SpatioTemporal Datasets Using Deep Learning. Techniques used for spatiotemporal anomaly detection in an unsupervised settings has attracted great attention in recent years. It has extensive use in a wide variety of applications such as: medical diagnosis, sensor events analysis, earth science, fraud detection systems, etc. Most of the real world time series datasets have spatial dimension as additional context such as geographic location. Although many temporal data are spatiotemporal in nature, existing techniques are limited to handle both contextual (spatial and temporal) attributes during anomaly detection process. Taking into account of spatial context in addition to temporal context would help uncovering complex anomaly types and unexpected and interesting knowledge about problem domain. In this paper, a new approach to the problem of unsupervised anomaly detection in a multivariate spatiotemporal dataset is proposed using a hybrid deep learning framework. The proposed approach is composed of a Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) Encoder and Deep Neural Network (DNN) based classifier to extract spatial and temporal contexts. Although the approach has been employed on crime dataset from San Francisco Police Department to detect spatiotemporal anomalies, it can be applied to any spatiotemporal datasets.

Unsupervised Online Anomaly Detection on Multivariate Sensing Time Series Data for Smart Manufacturing The emergence of IoT and AI has brought revolutionary change in various application domains. One of them is Industry 4.0, also called Smart Manufacturing, which aims to achieve highly flexible and automated production processes. In this paper, we study a use case of anomaly detection in smart manufacturing using the real data collected from the sensing devices of a factory production line. Our goal is to improve the anomaly detection accuracy at an earlier stage of production line, so that cost and time wasted by possible production failures can be reduced. To overcome the limited and irregular anomaly patterns found from our multivariate sensor dataset, we proposed an unsupervised realtime anomaly detection algorithm based on LSTMbased AutoEncoder. Our evaluations show that our approach achieved almost 90% accuracy for both precision and recall while other classification or regression based methods only reached 70%85%.
