Use a convolutional neural network to detect anomalies.

The Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is a neural network consisting of convolutional layers, each consisting of multiple kernels. Given some input, the convolutional layer computes the convolution of the input with each kernel to create an output. The input sequences are fed through multiple such convolutional layers, and the task is to forecast the time series. Hence, by computing the difference between the forecasted value and the actually observed values, the neural network can detect anomalies.

The architecture of the CNN consists of blocks, in which each block applies the following operations: convolutional layer \(\rightarrow\) batch normalization \(\rightarrow\) activation function \(\rightarrow\) average pooling. The first and final layers of the network has no batch normalization.

Parameters:
  • window_size (int or str) – The window size to use for extracting sliding windows from the time series. This value will be passed to compute_window_size().

  • error_metric ({"mean-absolute-error", "mean-squared-error"}, default="mean-absolute-error") – The error measure between the reconstructed window and the original window.

  • kernel_size (int, default=3) – The size of the kernels in the convolutional layers.

  • hidden_layers (list of ints, default=[64, 32]) – The number of kernels in each hidden layer. Must contain at least 1 value.

  • activation_function ({"linear", "relu", "sigmoid", "tanh"} default="relu") – The activation function to use at the end of each convolutional layer.

  • batch_normalization (bool = True,) – Whether to add batch normalization after each convolutional layer or not.

  • stride (int, default=1) – The stride, i.e., the step size for extracting sliding windows from the time series.

  • standard_scaling (bool, default=True) – Whether to standard scale each window independently, before feeding it to the network.

  • batch_size (int, default=32) – The size of the batches to feed to the network.

  • data_loader_kwargs (dictionary, default=None) – Additional kwargs to be passed to the data loader. For more information, see: https://docs.pytorch.org/docs/stable/data.html

  • optimizer ({"adam", "sgd"} or callable default="adam") – The optimizer to use for learning the weights. If “adam” is given, then the torch.optim.Adam optimizer will be used. If “sgd” is given, then the torch.optim.SGD optimizer will be used. Otherwise, a callable should be given, which takes as input the network parameters, and then creates an optimizer.

  • learning_rate (float, default=1e-3) – The learning rate to use for training the network. Has no effect if optimize is a callable.

  • compile_model (bool, default=False) – Whether the network architecture should be compiled or not before training the weights. For more information, see: https://docs.pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.compile.html

  • compile_mode ({"default", "reduce-overhead", "max-autotune", "max-autotune-no-cudagraphs"}, default="default") – Method to compile the architecture. For more information, see: https://docs.pytorch.org/docs/stable/generated/torch.compile.html

  • n_epochs (int, default=10) – The number of epochs for which the neural network should be trained.

  • loss_function (torch.nn.Module, default=torch.nn.MSELoss()) – The loss function to use for updating the weights.

  • device (str, default="cpu") – The device on which te neural network should be trained. For more information, see: https://docs.pytorch.org/docs/stable/tensor_attributes.html#torch-device

  • seed (int, default=None) – The seed used for training the model. This seed will update the torch and numpy seed at the beginning of the fit method.

predict_confidence(X: ndarray, X_train: ndarray = None, contamination: float = 0.05, decision_scores_given: bool = False)

Predict the confidence of the anomaly scores on the test given test data.

This method implements ExCeeD [perini2020quantifying] (Example-wise Confidence of anomaly Detectors) to estimate the confidence. ExCeed transforms the predicted decision scores to probability estimates using a Bayesian approach, which enables to assign a confidence score to each prediction which captures the uncertainty of the anomaly detector in that prediction.

Parameters:
  • X (array-like of shape (n_samples, n_attributes)) – The test time series for which the confidence of anomaly scores should be predicted.

  • X_train (array-like of shape (n_samples_train, n_attributes), default=None) – The training time series, which can be used as reference. If X_train=None, the test set is used as reference set.

  • contamination (float, default=0.05) – The (estimated) contamination rate for the data, i.e., the expected percentage of anomalies.

  • decision_scores_given (bool, default=False) – Whether the given X and X_train represent time series data or decision scores. If decision_scores_given=False (default), then the given arrays are interpreted as time series. Otherwise, they are interpreted as decision scores, as computed by decision_function().

Returns:

confidence – The confidence of this anomaly detector in each prediction in the given test time series.

Return type:

array-like of shape (n_samples)

predict_proba(X: ndarray) ndarray

Predict anomaly probabilities

Estimate the probability of a sample of X being anomalous, based on the anomaly scores obtained from decision_function by rescaling them to the range of [0, 1] via min-max scaling.

Parameters:

X (array-like of shape (n_samples, n_attributes)) – Input time series.

Returns:

anomaly_scores – 1D array with the same length as X, with values in the interval [0, 1], in which a higher value implies that the instance is more likely to be anomalous.

Return type:

array-like of shape (n_samples)

Raises:
  • ValueError – If scores is not a valid array.

  • ValueError – If the prediction scores from ‘decision_function’ are constant, but not in the interval [0, 1], because these values can not unambiguously be transformed to an anomaly probability.

Save detector to disk as a pickle file with extension .dtai. If the given path consists of multiple subdirectories, then the not existing subdirectories are created.

Parameters:

path (str or Path) – Location where to store the detector.
