- 可无缝集成现有检测器,适合需要高精度异常识别的场景
无监督时序异常检测训练中,有害的异常污染与有益的难例正常样本常因相似的损失表现而难以区分。为此,本文提出新方法,通过引入输入微扰下的参数响应行为,补充传统损失行为,实现更细粒度的异常模式表征。基于参数与损失行为的互补性,进一步设计双通道参数-损失数据增强方法(PLDA),在强化学习框架下动态迭代地优化训练数据:同时抑制异常污染、增强有信息量的难例正常样本。PLDA具有高度通用性,可作为组件无缝集成至现有检测器以提升性能。在10个数据集上的大量实验表明,其使4种不同检测器性能最高提升8%,显著优于3种现有先进数据增强方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Training in unsupervised time series anomaly detection is constantly plagued by the discrimination between harmful `anomaly contaminations' and beneficial `hard normal samples'. These two samples exhibit analogous loss behavior that conventional loss-based methodologies struggle to differentiate. To tackle this problem, we propose a novel approach that supplements traditional loss behavior with `parameter behavior', enabling a more granular characterization of anomalous patterns. Parameter behavior is formalized by measuring the parametric response to minute perturbations in input samples. Leveraging the complementary nature of parameter and loss behaviors, we further propose a dual Parameter-Loss Data Augmentation method (termed PLDA), implemented within the reinforcement learning paradigm. During the training phase of anomaly detection, PLDA dynamically augments the training data through an iterative process that simultaneously mitigates anomaly contaminations while amplifying informative hard normal samples. PLDA demonstrates remarkable versatility, which can serve as an additional component that seamlessly integrated with existing anomaly detectors to enhance their detection performance. Extensive experiments on ten datasets show that PLDA significantly improves the performance of four distinct detectors by up to 8\%, outperforming three state-of-the-art data augmentation methods.
