Anomaly detection using metric time series and event sequences for medical decision making

Abstract

Methods and systems for anomaly detection include encoding a multivariate time series and a multi-type event sequence using respective transformers and an aggregation network to generate a feature vector. Anomaly detection is performed using the feature vector to identify an anomaly within a system. A corrective action is performed responsive to the anomaly to correct or mitigate an effect of the anomaly. The detected anomaly can be used in a healthcare context to support decision making by medical professionals with respect to the treatment of a patient. The encoding may include machine learning models to implement the transformers and the aggregation network using deep learning.
