LEFT: Learnable Fusion of Tri-view Tokens for Unsupervised Time Series Anomaly Detection

arXiv:2602. 08638v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: As a fundamental data mining task, unsupervised time series anomaly detection (TSAD) aims to build a model for identifying abnormal timestamps without assuming the availability of annotations.

WinoTS: Wavelet-based Self-Distillation for Time Series Models

WinoTS introduces a wavelet‑based self‑distillation framework for time‑series models that uses time‑frequency augmentations to create multi‑scale structural views, avoiding distortion of signal dynamics. The method outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines in long‑term forecasting, cross‑domain zero‑shot transfer, and unsupervised anomaly detection, and linear probing on frozen representations often beats fully supervised training from scratch. Ablation studies show WinoTS is architecture‑agnostic and demonstrates that time‑frequency transformations offer a principled alternative to vision‑style spatial augmentations.

PaAno: Patch-Based Representation Learning for Time-Series Anomaly Detection

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.

Adaptive Multi-Granularity Temporal Modeling for Weakly Supervised Video Anomaly Detection

The paper introduces an adaptive temporal modeling framework for weakly supervised video anomaly detection that addresses the limitations of rigid Multiple Instance Learning approaches. It presents a Temporal Refinement Module using dynamic positional encoding and a learnable class token to capture long‑range dependencies, and an Event Segmentation Module that identifies event boundaries via temporal discontinuity analysis to produce discriminative event‑level representations. An adaptive similarity‑based fusion strategy replaces fixed top‑k heuristics, dynamically integrating snippet‑level and event‑level anomaly scores into video‑level predictions, and the method outperforms state‑of‑the‑art baselines on two benchmarks.

ASTER: Latent Pseudo-Anomaly Generation for Unsupervised Time-Series Anomaly Detection

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.

Bayesian Tensor Autoencoder with Physics-informed Predictive Prior for Multi-dimensional Time Series Anomaly Detection

The paper introduces a Physics-informed Predictive Prior Tensor Autoencoder (PPPTAE) for anomaly detection in multi-dimensional time series. It combines reconstruction-based and prediction-based autoencoders by embedding a Bayesian fusion approach and a predictive prior that respects tensor correlations. The method incorporates physical laws via tensor low‑rank decomposition to prevent over‑generalization and is validated on real‑world datasets.
