Base class for reconstruction-based neural anomaly detectors.

Reconstruction-based anomaly detection detect anomalies by learning to reconstruct the data. Specifically, the neural network takes as input a sliding window of the time series, and learns to output the exactly same data. Given a normal time series enable to learn the normal behaviors, and as a consequence it is possible to accurately reconstruct the data. However, anomalous subsequences, which were not seen during training, can not be accurately reconstructed, and will have a larger reconstruction error as a consequence.

Parameters:
window_sizeint or str

The window size to use for extracting sliding windows from the time series. This value will be passed to compute_window_size().

supervisionSupervision, default=Supervision.SEMI_SUPERVISED

The type of supervision this anomaly detector requires.

error_metric{“mean-absolute-error”, “mean-squared-error”}, default=”mean-absolute-error”

The error measure between the reconstructed window and the original window.

strideint, default=1

The stride, i.e., the step size for extracting sliding windows from the time series.

standard_scalingbool, default=True

Whether to standard scale each window independently, before feeding it to the network.

batch_sizeint, default=32

The size of the batches to feed to the network.

data_loader_kwargsdictionary, 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_ratefloat, default=1e-3

The learning rate to use for training the network. Has no effect if optimize is a callable.

compile_modelbool, 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_epochsint, default=10

The number of epochs for which the neural network should be trained.

loss_function{“mse”, “l1”, “huber} or torch.nn.Module, default=”mse”

The loss function to use for updating the weights. Valid options are:

  • 'mse': Use the Mean Squared Error loss.

  • 'l1': Use the L1-loss or the mean absolute error.

  • 'huber': Use the huber loss, which smoothly combines the MSE-loss with the L1-loss.

  • torch.nn.Module: a custom torch module to use for the loss function.

devicestr, 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.

seedint, 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.

Attributes:
window_size_int

The effectively used window size for this anomaly detector.

optimizer_torch.optim.Optimizer

The optimizer used for learning the weights of the network.

neural_network_torch.nn.Module

The PyTorch network architecture.

AutoEncoder

An implementation of this class using an feed-forward auto encoder.

check_is_fitted() None

Raise an error if this object is not fitted.

Check whether this object is fitted, and if it is not fitted, an exception is thrown.

Raises:
NotFittedError

If this object is not fitted.

decision_function(X: ndarray) array

Compute anomaly scores.

Compute the anomaly scores for the given time series using this detector.

Parameters:
Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_attributes)

Input time series.

Returns:
array-like of shape (n_samples)

The computed anomaly scores.

fit(X: ndarray, y: ndarray = None, **kwargs) BaseDetector

Fit this detector.

Fit this detector to the given data.

Parameters:
Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_attributes)

Input time series.

yarray-like, default=None

Ground-truth information.

**kwargs

Additional parameters to be used to fit the anomaly detector.

Returns:

Returns the instance itself.

is_fitted() bool

Check whether this object is fitted.

Check whether all the attributes of this object that end with an underscore (‘_’) has been initialized.

Returns:
bool

True if and only if all the attributes of this object ending with ‘_’ are initialized.

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 [26].

This method implements ExCeeD (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:
Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_attributes)

The test time series for which the confidence of anomaly scores should be predicted.

X_trainarray-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.

contaminationfloat, default=0.05

The (estimated) contamination rate for the data, i.e., the expected percentage of anomalies.

decision_scores_givenbool, 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:
array-like of shape (n_samples)

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

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:
Xarray-like of shape (n_samples, n_attributes)

Input time series.

Returns:
array-like of shape (n_samples)

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.

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.

requires_fitting() bool

Check whether this object requires fitting.

Check whether any of the attributes of this object ends with an underscore (‘_’), which indicates that the attribute is set when the object is fitted. Note that this method does not check whether the object is fitted, i.e., whether the attributes have been set.

Returns:
bool

True if and only if this object has attributes that end with ‘_’.

save(path: str | Path) None

Save this detector.

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:
pathstr or Path

Location where to store the detector.
