An Unsupervised Short- and Long-Term Mask Representation for Multivariate Time Series Anomaly Detection
Qiucheng Miao, Chuanfu Xu, Jun Zhan, Dong zhu, Chengkun Wu
Anomaly detection of multivariate time series is meaningful for system behavior monitoring. This paper proposes an anomaly detection method based on unsupervised Short- and Long-term Mask Representation learning (SLMR). The main idea is to extract short-term local dependency patterns and long-term global trend patterns of the multivariate time series by using multi-scale residual dilated convolution and Gated Recurrent Unit(GRU) respectively. Furthermore, our approach can comprehend temporal contexts and feature correlations by combining spatial-temporal masked self-supervised representation learning and sequence split. It considers the importance of features is different, and we introduce the attention mechanism to adjust the contribution of each feature. Finally, a forecasting-based model and a reconstruction-based model are integrated to focus on single timestamp prediction and latent representation of time series. Experiments show that the performance of our method outperforms other state-of-the-art models on three real-world datasets. Further analysis shows that our method is good at interpretability.
