  • Anomaly detection

Seamless anomaly detection technology from unsupervised to supervised learning

Further increase the accuracy of anomaly detection models using anomaly data obtained during operations.


  • Using anomaly data obtained during operations for learning enables the seamless transition from an initial unsupervised model based on learning from normal data only to a highly accurate supervised model.
  • Because anomaly data does not need to be gathered in advance, simple anomaly detection can be introduced first, and accuracy can be increased through operations.
  • After the transition, the deep neural network structures and anomaly score distribution do not change dramatically, so the burden of operations resulting from the transition can be minimized.

Applications



  • Product inspections at manufacturing sites
  • Monitoring of anomalies in equipment and facilities
