CAST is a framework for generating anomalous time series that addresses the scarcity and heterogeneity of anomaly data. It uses a two‑stage approach: pretraining on abundant normal data to learn system dynamics, then finetuning with anomaly structure representations to capture diverse anomaly morphologies. Experiments on real‑world datasets show that CAST outperforms existing methods in both generation quality and downstream task performance.

The paper investigates whether the performance of anomaly detection systems can be predicted without labeled anomalies. For kNN-based detectors, it derives a lower bound on AUC that links detection performance to the separation and variance of inlier and outlier scores, and uses this to analyze how density variation, intrinsic dimensionality, and domain mismatch affect score variability. The authors introduce pseudo‑anomaly probes that provide a reference for estimating relative score separation, and demonstrate through experiments on DCASE benchmarks that these probes enable anomaly‑free model selection to outperform conventional development‑set selection, especially under domain shift.

The paper introduces Unsupervised Graph Collective Anomaly Detection (UGCAD), a framework that uses a variational graph autoencoder to learn graph representations of IoT network traffic and then enhances clustering to group nodes. UGCAD identifies collective anomalies by aggregating normal clusters and applying anomaly scores to the refined groups. Experiments on CICIoT2023 and ToN-IoT datasets show that UGCAD outperforms traditional and state‑of‑the‑art clustering‑based CAD methods in both clustering quality and anomaly detection accuracy.

arXiv:2602. 01359v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Although recent studies on time-series anomaly detection have increasingly adopted ever-larger neural network architectures such as transformers and foundation models, they incur high computational costs and memory usage, making them impractical for real-time and resource-constrained scenarios.
