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.
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:2509. 05663v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Truly unsupervised approaches for time series anomaly detection are rare in the literature.
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 surveys recent advances in time series anomaly detection (TSAD), highlighting new architectures such as diffusion models, state space models, and large language models. It introduces a refined anomaly taxonomy, evaluates existing metrics through extensive experiments, and releases an open-source benchmark with algorithms, datasets, and evaluation tools. The authors also identify open research challenges, including dynamic thresholding, interpretability, zero‑shot transfer, multi‑modal alignment, and foundational models for time series.
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.
arXiv:2604. 13924v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Time-series anomaly detection (TSAD) is critical in domains such as industrial monitoring, healthcare, and cybersecurity, but it remains challenging due to rare and heterogeneous anomalies and the scarcity of labelled data.
arXiv:2509. 18751v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Recently reconstruction-based deep models have been widely used for time series anomaly detection, but as their capacity and generalization capability increase, these models tend to over-generalize, often reconstructing unseen anomalies accurately.
