A Novel Dynamic Spatio-Temporal Collaborative Model for Multivariate Time Series Anomaly Detection
摘要
Anomaly detection in multivariate time series is critical for Internet of Things production line control systems, and distributed energy resource management systems. These systems generate high-dimensional sequential data characterized by intricate spatiotemporal dependencies, non-stationarity, and nonlinearity. Existing methods often fell short of expectations on the real-world data, demonstrating low anomaly detection accuracy and high false-alarm rates. To address these challenges, this study proposes Dynamic Spatio-temporal Collaborative network (DSCnet) for Multivariate Time Series Anomaly Detection. DSCnet leverages a Transformer architecture enhanced with RBF neurons to extract temporal patterns from multivariate sequences. Meanwhile, it dynamically infers the spatial dependencies between entities through graph structure learning enhanced by multi-head attention, to capture the complex feature interactions. Our collaborative computing model fuses the temporal features by the dynamic spatial dependency from the graph learning module with entity-aware normalization. Furthermore, we calculate the anomaly score by combining both the reconstruction error and the RBF-based similarity metrics from the Transformer-based temporal feature extraction architecture. Evaluations on four public multivariate time-series benchmarks demonstrate the superiority of our DSCnet with an average AUROC of 89.8%, and a 5.47% improvement over the state-of-the-art models.
