摘要

Multivariate time series anomaly detection is a critical task in various domains, including industrial systems, healthcare, and network monitoring. While Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have demonstrated significant potential due to their powerful unsupervised learning capabilities, existing models are often hindered by several challenges. These include mode collapse, which limits sample diversity; the presence of contaminated data, which weakens the discriminator’s ability to learn normal patterns; and a general neglect of frequency-domain features. To address these limitations, we propose the Exponential Informativeness-Based Bidirectional Memory GAN (EM-BMGAN). This model mitigates mode collapse by introducing an improved loss function based on exponential informativeness. It employs a Multi-Scale Temporal Memory Network (MSTMN) as its generator to suppress the reconstruction of anomalous patterns. Furthermore, EM-BMGAN incorporates a Multi-Scale Adaptive Discrete Cosine Transform Network (MADN) to achieve effective time-frequency feature fusion. Experimental results on multiple public datasets demonstrate that EM-BMGAN not only achieves superior performance but also possesses a more lightweight architecture compared to state-of-the-art Transformer-based models.
