Retrieval Over Training: Similarity search-based Model Selection for Time Series Anomaly Detection

In this paper, we tackle the aforementioned limitation and propose RAMSAD, a retrieval-based framework for model selection in time-series anomaly detection.

Key points

  • Anomaly detection is a fundamental task for time-series analytics, with important implications for the downstream performance of many applications.
  • Despite the large number of anomaly detection methods proposed in the literature, recent benchmark studies have shown that no single detector performs best across highly heterogeneous time series.
  • Given a new time series, our method queries a knowledge base of previously observed instances, retrieves the top-k most similar series, and transfers detector recommendations from their performance profiles.
  • Overall, we demonstrate that similarity-based retrieval constitutes a strong and efficient foundation for model selection in time-series anomaly detection.
