SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEMORY-LESS ANOMALY DETECTION USING ANOMALY THRESHOLDS BASED ON PROBABILITIES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17938800 titled 'SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MEMORY-LESS ANOMALY DETECTION USING ANOMALY THRESHOLDS BASED ON PROBABILITIES
Simplified Explanation
Methods and systems for anomaly detection in a distributed environment are disclosed in the patent application. An anomaly detector and one or more data collectors work together to detect anomalies in data using an inference model and an anomaly threshold. The anomaly threshold is determined by fitting a normal distribution to the output of the inference model and may require periodic re-training of the inference model using data collected from the data collectors.

Original Abstract Submitted
Methods and systems for anomaly detection in a distributed environment are disclosed. To manage anomaly detection, a system may include an anomaly detector and one or more data collectors. The anomaly detector may detect anomalies in data obtained from one or more of the data collectors using an inference model and an anomaly threshold. The anomaly threshold may be determined by fitting a normal distribution to output of the inference model when the inference model is exercised across an input range of the inference model. The anomaly threshold may correspond to a portion of the normal distribution. To perform anomaly detection, the inference model may require periodic re-training. Data collected from the one or more data collectors may be used to re-train the inference model as needed. Following anomaly detection and/or inference model re-training, the data may be discarded to remove the data from the anomaly detector.
