SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Detect unusual patterns, outliers, and anomalies in data using statistical methods, machine learning, and deep learning. This helps reduce fraud, security incidents, and operational anomalies by surfacing unusual behavior early and automating anomaly scoring within SpecWeave increments.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Unsupervised & Semi-supervised anomaly detection across time-series and high-dimensional data
  • Multiple detectors: Isolation Forest, One-Class SVM, Autoencoders, Statistical methods (Z-score, IQR), LOF
  • Increment integration: Emit anomaly scores and contributing factors into SpecWeave increments for quick remediation
  • Use cases include fraud detection, system health monitoring, security/intrusion detection, and quality control.

Quick Start

Run the anomaly-detector for increment 0042 to scan your data and output anomaly scores.

FAQPage Schema
How do I detect anomalies in transaction data or system metrics?

Anomaly detection identifies unusual patterns in your data using statistical methods, Isolation Forest, One-Class SVM, autoencoders, and Local Outlier Factor. Run the detector on transaction streams or system metrics to generate anomaly scores and flag outliers in real-time or batch workflows, enabling fraud detection and security monitoring.

What methods does anomaly detection use for high-dimensional data?

Anomaly detection supports unsupervised, semi-supervised, and supervised approaches including Z-score, Isolation Forest, One-Class SVM, autoencoders, and LOF. These methods handle high-dimensional data, configure thresholds and anomaly scores, compute feature importances, and surface contributing factors to explain detected anomalies.

Can I use anomaly detection for real-time fraud detection and security monitoring?

Yes. Anomaly detection processes transaction streams and log data in real-time or batch workflows, emitting anomaly scores into SpecWeave increment workflows for quick remediation. It covers fraud detection, intrusion detection, system health monitoring, and quality control with configurable thresholds.

Do I need labeled data to detect anomalies?

No. Anomaly detection supports unsupervised methods (Z-score, Isolation Forest, LOF, autoencoders, One-Class SVM) that require no labels, plus semi-supervised and supervised approaches when labeled data is available. Choose the method that fits your data availability and use case.

What output does anomaly detection provide after scanning data?

Anomaly detection outputs anomaly scores, feature importances, and explanations of contributing factors. Results integrate seamlessly into SpecWeave increments, enabling downstream analysis, alerting, and automated remediation workflows.

Can anomaly detection handle time-series and log data?

Yes. Anomaly detection applies to transaction streams, system metrics, time-series data, and log data in both real-time and batch workflows. It scales to high-dimensional datasets and supports configurable thresholds for different detection scenarios.
