This preprint studies unsupervised timing anomaly detection for multivariate time-series, proposing a GRU-INEncoder approach that uses stacked encoders and gated recurrent units to capture long-range dependencies and dynamic timing features, with a multi-branch attention mechanism to separately model local fine-grained changes and global long-term trends. The authors evaluate the method on publicly available datasets including SMD, MSL, and SMAP, reporting significantly better accuracy and robustness than existing time-series anomaly detection methods. A stated limitation is that the work is a preprint and has not undergone peer review. This paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

Abstract

Abstract In the field of unsupervised timing anomaly detection, existing methods face challenges in capturing long-range dependencies and dynamic timings due to the scale of the data and multiple feature dimensions. This paper presents a novel method for timing anomaly detection that effectively extracts long-range dependencies and dynamic timing features by leveraging stacked encoders and gated recurrent units (GRUs). Moreover, it introduces a multi-branch attention mechanism to extract local and global features, thereby enhancing the model's ability to perceive information at different scales. The local attention captures fine-grained time series changes, while the global attention focuses on long-term trends and overarching patterns. Experimental results demonstrate that our method significantly outperforms existing time-series anomaly detection methods across several publicly available datasets, such as SMD, MSL, and SMAP, affirming its superiority in terms of accuracy and robustness.
