Sony patents system that combines two models to spot data anomalies
Sony has filed a patent for a software system that monitors data over time to find unusual patterns. It uses two different detection methods, one that considers outside factors and one that does not, and combines their results to create a report.
In the filing’s own words
An information processing apparatus according to the present technology includes a presentation control unit that generates presentation information corresponding to a combination of a detection result obtained by a first detection model that detects an abnormality in time-series data by using auxiliary data related to variation in the time-series data and a detection result obtained by a second detection model that detects an abnormality in the time-series data without using the auxiliary data. The present technology can be applied to, for example, an information processing apparatus that monitors sales data.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. An information processing apparatus comprising a presentation control unit that generates presentation information corresponding to a combination of a detection result obtained by a first detection model that detects an abnormality in time-series data by using auxiliary data related to variation in the time-series data and a detection result obtained by a second detection model that detects an abnormality in the time-series data without using the auxiliary data.
