The paper presents an empirical study on combining dimensionality reduction techniques with advanced unsupervised time series anomaly detection models. It focuses on the MUTANT and Anomaly-Transformer models, evaluating their performance across three datasets: MSL, SMAP, and SWaT. The study examines four dimensionality reduction techniques: PCA, UMAP, Random Projection, and t-SNE. The results show that dimensionality reduction not only simplifies high-dimensional data but also enhances anomaly detection performance in certain scenarios, with significant reductions in training times.
Low GrooveSquid.com (original content) Low Difficulty Summary
The paper shows how combining dimensionality reduction with anomaly detection can improve performance and efficiency. It compares two models, MUTANT and Anomaly-Transformer, using four different techniques to reduce the complexity of time series data. The study uses three datasets to test these combinations, finding that some work better than others depending on the specific situation.
