Abstract

Many real-world IoT systems, which include a variety of internet-connected sensory devices, produce substantial amounts of multivariate time series data. Meanwhile, vital IoT infrastructures like smart power grids and water distribution networks are frequently targeted by cyber-attacks, making anomaly detection an important study topic. Modeling such relatedness is, nevertheless, unavoidable for any efficient and effective anomaly detection system, given the intricate topological and nonlinear connections that are originally unknown among sensors. Furthermore, detecting anomalies in multivariate time series is difficult due to their temporal dependency and stochasticity. This paper presented GTA, a new framework for multivariate time series anomaly detection that involves automatically learning a graph structure, graph convolution, and modeling temporal dependency using a Transformer-based architecture. The connection learning policy, which is based on the Gumbel-softmax sampling approach to learn bi-directed links among sensors directly, is at the heart of learning graph structure. To describe the anomaly information flow between network nodes, we introduced a new graph convolution called Influence Propagation convolution. In addition, to tackle the quadratic complexity barrier, we suggested a multi-branch attention mechanism to replace the original multi-head self-attention method. Extensive experiments on four publicly available anomaly detection benchmarks further demonstrate the superiority of our approach over alternative state-of-the-arts.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
