Automate Time-series Outlie Detection System

This is a time-seried outlier detection system with automate machin learning.

Axolotl

Running pre-defined pipeline

python examples/build_AutoEncoder_pipeline.py
python examples/run_predefined_pipeline.py

Installation

This package works with Python 3.6 and pip 19+. You need to have the following packages installed on the system (for Debian/Ubuntu):

sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libyaml-dev build-essential libopenblas-dev libcap-dev ffmpeg

Then run the script install.sh. The script witll install d3m core package with:

cd d3m
pip3 install -e .
cd ..

Then it installs common primitives (which will be used in the running examples):

cd common-primitives
pip3 install -e .
cd ..

And it installs sklearn wrapper with:

cd sklearn-wrap
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
pip3 install -e .
cd ..

It installs anomaly primitives (ours) by:

cd anomaly-primitives
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
pip3 install -e .
cd ..

There could be some missing dependencies that are not listed above. Try to fix it by yourself if you meet any.

Dataset

Datasets are located in datasets/anomaly. raw_data is the raw time series data. transform.py is script to transform the raw data to D3M format. template includes some templates for generating D3M data. If you run transform.py, the script will load the raw kpi data and create a folder named kpi in D3M format.

The generated csv file will have the following columns: d3mIndex, timestamp, value, 'ground_truth. In the example kpi dataset, there is only one value. For other datasets there could be multiple values. The goal of the pipline is to predict the ground_truth based on timestamp and the value(s).

There is a nice script to check whether the dataset is in the right format. Run

python3 datasets/validate.py datasets/anomaly/kpi/

The expected output is as follows:

Validating problem '/home/grads/d/daochen/tods/tods/datasets/anomaly/kpi/SCORE/problem_TEST/problemDoc.json'.
Validating dataset '/home/grads/d/daochen/tods/tods/datasets/anomaly/kpi/SCORE/dataset_TEST/datasetDoc.json'.
Validating problem '/home/grads/d/daochen/tods/tods/datasets/anomaly/kpi/kpi_problem/problemDoc.json'.
Validating problem '/home/grads/d/daochen/tods/tods/datasets/anomaly/kpi/TEST/problem_TEST/problemDoc.json'.
Validating dataset '/home/grads/d/daochen/tods/tods/datasets/anomaly/kpi/TEST/dataset_TEST/datasetDoc.json'.
Validating dataset '/home/grads/d/daochen/tods/tods/datasets/anomaly/kpi/kpi_dataset/datasetDoc.json'.
Validating dataset '/home/grads/d/daochen/tods/tods/datasets/anomaly/kpi/TRAIN/dataset_TRAIN/datasetDoc.json'.
Validating problem '/home/grads/d/daochen/tods/tods/datasets/anomaly/kpi/TRAIN/problem_TRAIN/problemDoc.json'.
Validating all datasets and problems.
There are no errors.

Of course, you can also create other datasets with transform.py. But for now, we can focus on this example dataset since other datasets are usually in the same format.

Example

In D3M, our goal is to provide a solution to a problem on a dataset. Here, solution is a pipline which consists of data processing, classifiers, etc.

Run the example to build the first pipline with

python3 examples/build_iforest_pipline.py

Note that we have not implemented iForest yet. This one is actually Random Forest. This will generate a file pipline.yml, which describes a pipline. We can run the pipeline on the example data in this repo as follows:

python3 -m d3m runtime fit-produce -p pipeline.yml -r datasets/anomaly/kpi/TRAIN/problem_TRAIN/problemDoc.json -i datasets/anomaly/kpi/TRAIN/dataset_TRAIN/datasetDoc.json -t datasets/anomaly/kpi/TEST/dataset_TEST/datasetDoc.json -o results.csv -O pipeline_run.yml

Another example on a subset of the sequences of Yahoo dataset is as follows:

python3 -m d3m runtime fit-produce -p pipeline.yml -r datasets/anomaly/yahoo_sub_5/TRAIN/problem_TRAIN/problemDoc.json -i datasets/anomaly/yahoo_sub_5/TRAIN/dataset_TRAIN/datasetDoc.json -t datasets/anomaly/yahoo_sub_5/TEST/dataset_TEST/datasetDoc.json -o results.csv -O pipeline_run.yml

The above commands will generate two files results.csv and pipline_run.yml

How to add a new primitive

For new primitives, put them in /anomaly_pritives. There is an example for isolation forest (however, this is essentially a RandomForest, although the name is IsolationForest. We need more efforts to change it to real IsolationForest).

In addition to add a new file, you need to register the promitive in anomaly-primitives/setup.py and rerun pip install.

Use the following command to check whether your new primitives are registered:

python3 -m d3m index search

Test the new primitives:

python3 examples/build_iforest_pipline.py

Template for meta-data in primitives

• __author__: DATA Lab at Texas A&M University
• name: Just a name. Name your primitive with a few words
• python_path: This path should have 5 segments. The first two segments should be d3m.primitives. The third segment shoulb be anomaly_detection, data_preprocessing or feature_construction (it should match primitive_family). The fourth segment should be your algorithm name, e.g., isolation_forest. Note that this name should also be added to this file. The last segment should be one of Preprocessing, Feature, Algorithm (for now).
• source: name should be DATA Lab at Texas A&M University, contact should be mailto:khlai037@tamu.edu, uris should have https://gitlab.com/lhenry15/tods.git and the path your py file.
• algorithms_types: Name the primitive by your self and add it to here. Then reinstall d3m. Fill this field with metadata_base.PrimitiveAlgorithmType.YOUR_NAME
• primitive_family: For preprocessing primitives, use metadata_base.PrimitiveFamily.DATA_PREPROCESSING. For feature analysis primitives, use metadata_base.PrimitiveFamily.FEATURE_CONSTRUCTION. For anomaly detection primitives, use metadata_base.PrimitiveFamily.ANOMALY_DETECTION.
• id: Randomly generate one with import uuid; uuid.uuid4()
• hyperparameters_to_tune: Specify what hyperparameters can be tuned in your primitive
• version: 0.0.1

Notes:

1. installation is not required. We remove it.

2. Try to reinstall everything if it does not work.

3. An example of fake Isolation Forest is here
