Structured Temporal Causality for Interpretable Multivariate Time Series Anomaly Detection introduces OracleAD, an unsupervised framework that encodes each variable’s past into a causal embedding to jointly predict the present and reconstruct the input window. The embeddings are projected via self‑attention into a shared latent space, capturing dynamic spatial relationships that are aligned to a Stable Latent Structure (SLS) representing normal-state relationships. Anomalies are detected through a dual scoring mechanism based on prediction error and deviation from the SLS, allowing fine‑grained diagnosis and root‑cause identification at the variable level.

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.

arXiv:2606. 09874v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reconstruction-based methods are widely used for time series anomaly detection, where models are trained to reconstruct subsequences, and anomalies are identified through reconstruction errors.

LEARN-TS is a method for multivariate time‑series anomaly detection that uses a frozen language model to generate two semantic representations: one that captures window‑specific observation context without exact numerical values, and another that provides a fixed, dataset‑agnostic normality prompt. These representations guide a patch‑masked reconstruction process, allowing the model to estimate normality discrepancy and produce timestamp‑level anomaly evidence. Experiments on four benchmarks show that LEARN‑TS achieves the best mean performance in 13 of 16 dataset‑metric comparisons, and ablation studies confirm the benefits of observation conditioning, joint normality alignment, and semantic references.

LEAP is a new time‑series anomaly detection model that avoids reconstruction by using masked prediction and latent‑embedding evidence. It removes patches from a window, predicts them from remaining context, and scores prediction errors as anomaly evidence. The model incorporates three label‑free novelty signals—latent‑embedding novelty, local temporal contrast, and per‑channel novelty—and achieves strong performance on the TSB‑AD benchmark, with statistically significant gains from each component.
