TODS: Automated Time-series Outlier Detection System

中文文档

TODS is a full-stack automated machine learning system for outlier detection on multivariate time-series data. TODS provides exhaustive modules for building machine learning-based outlier detection systems, including: data processing, time series processing, feature analysis (extraction), detection algorithms, and reinforcement module. The functionalities provided via these modules include data preprocessing for general purposes, time series data smoothing/transformation, extracting features from time/frequency domains, various detection algorithms, and involving human expertise to calibrate the system. Three common outlier detection scenarios on time-series data can be performed: point-wise detection (time points as outliers), pattern-wise detection (subsequences as outliers), and system-wise detection (sets of time series as outliers), and a wide-range of corresponding algorithms are provided in TODS. This package is developed by DATA Lab @ Rice University.

TODS is featured for:

Full Stack Machine Learning System which supports exhaustive components from preprocessings, feature extraction, detection algorithms and also human-in-the loop interface.
Wide-range of Algorithms, including all of the point-wise detection algorithms supported by PyOD, state-of-the-art pattern-wise (collective) detection algorithms such as DeepLog, Telemanon, and also various ensemble algorithms for performing system-wise detection.
Automated Machine Learning aims to provide knowledge-free process that construct optimal pipeline based on the given data by automatically searching the best combination from all of the existing modules.

Installation

This package works with Python 3.7+ and pip 19+. You need to have the following packages installed on the system (for Debian/Ubuntu):

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libyaml-dev build-essential libopenblas-dev libcap-dev ffmpeg

Clone the repository (if you are in China and Github is slow, you can use the mirror in Gitee):

git clone https://github.com/datamllab/tods.git

Install locally with pip:

cd tods
pip install -e .

Examples

Examples are available in /examples. For basic usage, you can evaluate a pipeline on a given datasets. Here, we provide example to load our default pipeline and evaluate it on a subset of yahoo dataset.

import pandas as pd

from tods import schemas as schemas_utils
from tods import generate_dataset, evaluate_pipeline

table_path = 'datasets/anomaly/raw_data/yahoo_sub_5.csv'
target_index = 6 # what column is the target
metric = 'F1_MACRO' # F1 on both label 0 and 1

# Read data and generate dataset
df = pd.read_csv(table_path)
dataset = generate_dataset(df, target_index)

# Load the default pipeline
pipeline = schemas_utils.load_default_pipeline()

# Run the pipeline
pipeline_result = evaluate_pipeline(dataset, pipeline, metric)
print(pipeline_result)

We also provide AutoML support to help you automatically find a good pipeline for your data.

import pandas as pd

from axolotl.backend.simple import SimpleRunner

from tods import generate_dataset, generate_problem
from tods.searcher import BruteForceSearch

# Some information
table_path = 'datasets/yahoo_sub_5.csv'
target_index = 6 # what column is the target
time_limit = 30 # How many seconds you wanna search
metric = 'F1_MACRO' # F1 on both label 0 and 1

# Read data and generate dataset and problem
df = pd.read_csv(table_path)
dataset = generate_dataset(df, target_index=target_index)
problem_description = generate_problem(dataset, metric)

# Start backend
backend = SimpleRunner(random_seed=0)

# Start search algorithm
search = BruteForceSearch(problem_description=problem_description,
                          backend=backend)

# Find the best pipeline
best_runtime, best_pipeline_result = search.search_fit(input_data=[dataset], time_limit=time_limit)
best_pipeline = best_runtime.pipeline
best_output = best_pipeline_result.output

# Evaluate the best pipeline
best_scores = search.evaluate(best_pipeline).scores
