ADGAS: An Advanced Data Generation for Anomalous Signals
Abstract
Anomaly detection using deep learning approaches is still challenging, especially in the case of data limitations. A small number of samples for training deep learning models typically result in poor performance of detection and classification. Previously, data augmentation was one of the methods used to solve this problem. The data augmentation with rotation, permutation, time warping, and their combination can increase the performance of anomaly classification. However, this method is still limited and does not guarantee that the generated output data have adequate varieties and keep original characteristics of data. Our recent work, data augmentation and generation for anomalous time series signals (DAGAT) was proposed to expand the space of possible augmented data by implementing vanilla augmentation on various domains in conjunction with variational autoencoder (VAE). Nonetheless, the DAGAT still has barriers, which are an uncontrollable number of target results, a missed opportunity of integrating multiple augmentation characteristics in latent space, and a possibility of including any bad data for training in VAE. To overcome these limitations, this paper proposed an advanced data generation for anomalous signals (ADGAS). By focusing on the quality of generated data, one more quality classifier (QC) was added as a prepossessing step of VAE. In this way, the experimental results showed that convolutional neural networks (CNNs), used as a performance tester, trained with the generated datasets of ADGAS achieved better accuracy in classifying anomalous events when compared to models trained with a combination of rotation, permutation, and time warping data augmentation methods.
