Novel algorithm for discovering anomalies in data outperforms current software

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, information science, robotics/AI

An algorithm developed by Washington State University researchers can better find data anomalies than current anomaly-detection software, including in streaming data.

The work, reported in the Journal of Artificial Intelligence Research, makes fundamental contributions to artificial intelligence (AI) methods that could have applications in many domains that need to quickly find anomalies in large amounts of data, such as in cybersecurity, power grid management, misinformation, and medical diagnostics.

Being able to better find the anomalies would mean being able to more easily discover fraud, disease in a medical setting, or important unusual information, such as an asteroid whose signals overlap with the light from other stars.
