Cover Story: As a substantial amount of multivariate time series data is being produced in smart manufacturing (SM), improved anomaly detection frameworks are needed to reduce operational risks and monitoring burden placed on system operators. However, building such frameworks is challenging, as a sufficient amount of defective training data is often not available, and frameworks are required to capture both the temporal and contextual dependencies across different time steps while being robust to noise. In this research, we propose an unsupervised deep-learning-based framework for anomaly detection in multivariate time series. Evaluation results conducted on real-life data demonstrate the performance strengths of the proposed framework over state-of-the-art methods under different experimental settings. View this paper
