What you’ll learn

Anomaly Detection
Anomaly Detection course overviews cover identifying unusual patterns (outliers) in data using statistical, machine learning, and deep learning methods to solve real-world problems like fraud, system failures, and network attacks, teaching you to build and deploy models with tools like Python (Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch) and specialized platforms (MATLAB, Power BI) for applications in finance, healthcare, and cybersecurity, focusing on data preprocessing, algorithm implementation (clustering, autoencoders, GANs), and handling labeled/unlabeled data.
 
Core Concepts & Fundamentals:
  • Definition: Identifying rare observations deviating from normal patterns (e.g., fraud, sensor faults, cyber threats).
  • Types of Anomalies: Point, contextual, and collective.
  • Importance: Enhancing data quality, ensuring system reliability, predicting failures, and enabling data-driven decisions.
 
Key Techniques & Methods:
  • Statistical: IQR Rule, 3-Sigma Rule, Median Absolute Deviation (MAD).
  • Machine Learning: Clustering (DBSCAN), Isolation Forests, One-Class SVM, Autoencoders, GANs.
  • Time Series: Analyzing sequential data for anomalies in real-time or batches.
  • Deep Learning: Using neural networks for complex pattern recognition in images or large datasets.
