POST: Prior-Observation Adversarial Learning of Spatio-Temporal Associations for Multivariate Time Series Anomaly Detection
The article discusses a new framework for Multivariate Time Series Anomaly Detection (MTSAD) that integrates spatio-temporal modeling with adversarial learning. This approach addresses the spatial over-generalization problem, enhancing the model's sensitivity and anomaly localization capabilities. Extensive experiments demonstrate that this framework achieves state-of-the-art performance in both time-wise detection and spatial localization tasks.
- ▪The proposed framework uses a joint prior-observation adversarial learning paradigm to improve anomaly detection.
- ▪It alternately learns adjacency matrices and models association discrepancies during training.
- ▪The framework has been evaluated on public datasets and a synthetic benchmark with precise channel-wise annotations.
