Unsupervised Multivariate Time Series Data Anomaly Detection in Industrial IoT: A Confidence Adversarial Autoencoder Network
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Anomaly detection of multivariate time series (MTS) is crucial in industrial intelligent systems. To address the challenges of absence of anomaly labels, fast inference time, multi-source and multi-modality in anomaly detection, researchers have primarily investigated unsupervised reconstruction-driven methods. However, the existing reconstruction-driven methods mainly focus on minimizing reconstruction errors while neglecting the importance of training methods that increase errors between normal and abnormal classes. Furthermore, accurately constructing the feature space of normal and abnormal classes during the reconstruction process remains a challenge. In this paper, we propose an innovative model, namely the confidence adversarial autoencoder (CAAE). The proposed CAAE combines a confidence network, based on window credibility judgment, with an autoencoder to provide credibility support for anomaly detection. We further introduce fake labels to provide the confidence network with a discriminative knowledge for identifying reconstructed data. Additionally, we implement the confidence adversarial training method to generate fake labels to construct an adversarial loss aiming to expand the decision boundary of anomaly scores. Extensive experimental results on publicly available time series datasets are provided to demonstrate the efficiency of our proposed CAAE. It reveals that excellent generalization ability and superior average performance are achieved on different datasets compared with the state-of-the-art methods.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
