Toward robust anomaly detection in noisy time series via diffusion-driven denoising and disentanglement
摘要
The exponential growth in volume and dimensionality of time series data has escalated anomaly detection from a conventional analytical task to a High-Performance Computing (HPC)-scale challenge. However, conventional reconstruction-based methods suffer from two key limitations: susceptibility to noise contamination in collected data and an over-reliance on contextual semantics at the expense of other vital time series characteristics. To address these challenges, we propose D3C–a novel deep learning framework integrating Diffusion models, Dual attention mechanisms, and Dual-view Contrastive representation learning. Our approach leverages a Transformer-based diffusion module to disentangle and reconstruct multivariate time series from frequency and trend perspectives, effectively denoising inputs and enhancing anomaly recall and robustness. The reconstructed features then pass through a dual-branch architecture with hierarchical attention and contrastive learning, explicitly amplifying normal-anomaly distinctions. Furthermore, we introduce a specialized loss function to mitigate reconstruction-induced information loss. Extensive experiments on five real-world benchmarks demonstrate that D3C achieves state-of-the-art performance, with strong robustness under heavy noise and practical potential for parallelized deployment on HPC platforms.
