TransferLab Training: Practical Anomaly Detection

This workshop introduces unsupervised ML techniques for anomaly detection, their strengths and weaknesses and different application areas.

To improve the comprehension of the presented material, we adapted the course to be in a flipped classroom setting. The course is spread over 7 weeks in which you’ll work through the material in your own pace and have the chance to ask questions and discuss with our experts in weekly meetings. Also, feel free to discuss on relevant research papers and ideas.

Identification of anomalies is of high interest in multiple industries for identifying safety and security risks, ensuring production quality, or finding new business opportunities. But anomalies are hard to detect because they are characteristically poorly represented in datasets.

The training covers the following topics:

An informal notion of anomaly and the types of anomaly detection like unsupervised learning, one class problem, class imbalances, etc.
Density estimation and robustness for anomaly detection
Anomaly detection via isolation and reconstruction errors
Anomaly detection on time series
Extreme value theory for anomaly detection

All topics are presented from a theoretical perspective and applied to illustrative problems.

Starting with a kick-off event, the training spans a total of 7 weeks in which the participants go over the course material at their own pave and discuss the topics with the experts in weekly meetings.
