Learning Unified Representations of Normalcy for Time Series Anomaly Detection

ArXi:2605.09685v1 Announce Type: cross The core challenge in unsupervised anomaly detection is identifying abnormal patterns without prior knowledge of their characteristics. While existing methods have addressed aspects of this problem, they often struggle to learn a robust representation of the normal data distribution that is distinct from anomalous patterns. In this paper, we present a novel framework, Unified Unsupervised Anomaly Detection ($\text{U}^2\text{AD}$), that comprehensively addresses anomaly detection in multivariate time series.
