Unsupervised Anomaly Detection With LSTM Neural Networks

Abstract

We investigate anomaly detection in an unsupervised framework and introduce long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network-based algorithms. In particular, given variable length data sequences, we first pass these sequences through our LSTM-based structure and obtain fixed-length sequences. We then find a decision function for our anomaly detectors based on the one-class support vector machines (OC-SVMs) and support vector data description (SVDD) algorithms. As the first time in the literature, we jointly train and optimize the parameters of the LSTM architecture and the OC-SVM (or SVDD) algorithm using highly effective gradient and quadratic programming-based training methods. To apply the gradient-based training method, we modify the original objective criteria of the OC-SVM and SVDD algorithms, where we prove the convergence of the modified objective criteria to the original criteria. We also provide extensions of our unsupervised formulation to the semisupervised and fully supervised frameworks. Thus, we obtain anomaly detection algorithms that can process variable length data sequences while providing high performance, especially for time series data. Our approach is generic so that we also apply this approach to the gated recurrent unit (GRU) architecture by directly replacing our LSTM-based structure with the GRU-based structure. In our experiments, we illustrate significant performance gains achieved by our algorithms with respect to the conventional methods.

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.
