NLP Based Anomaly Detection for Categorical Time Series

22 Apr 2022  ·  Matthew Horak, Sowmya Chandrasekaran, Giovanni Tobar ·

Identifying anomalies in large multi-dimensional time series is a crucial and difficult task across multiple domains. Few methods exist in the literature that address this task when some of the variables are categorical in nature. We formalize an analogy between categorical time series and classical Natural Language Processing and demonstrate the strength of this analogy for anomaly detection and root cause investigation by implementing and testing three different machine learning anomaly detection and root cause investigation models based upon it.
