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 surveys Multi‑Modal Anomaly Detection (MMAD), a field that identifies rare abnormal events across heterogeneous data sources used in safety‑critical domains like industrial inspection and cybersecurity. It formalizes MMAD, outlines five core characteristics, and categorizes existing methods into normality‑assumption and anomaly‑assumption paradigms, highlighting how foundation models are reshaping the field. The survey also compiles benchmarks, evaluation protocols, and identifies open problems for developing robust, adaptive, and interpretable MMAD systems.
