C22MP: The Combination of catch22 and the Matrix Profile is a Fast Efficient and Interpretable Anomaly Detector

The Matrix Profile is a data structure that annotates a time series by recording each subsequence’s Euclidean distance to its nearest neighbor. In recent years, the community has shown that by using the Matrix Profile it is possible to discover many interesting properties of the original time series, including repeated behaviors, anomalies, evolving patterns, regimes, etc.  However, the Matrix Profile is limited to representing the relationship between the subsequence’s shapes. It is known that for some domains, useful information is conserved not in the subsequence’s shapes, but in the subsequence’s features.  In recent years, an optimal set of features for time series called catch22 has revolutionized feature-based mining of time series. Combining these two ideas seems to offer many possibilities for novel data mining applications, however, there are two difficulties in attempting this. A direct application of the Matrix Profile with the catch22 features would be prohibitively slow. Less obviously, as we will demonstrate, in almost all domains, using all twenty-two of the catch22 features produces poor results, we must somehow select the subset appropriate for the domain. In this work, we introduce novel algorithms to solve both problems, and demonstrate that for most domains, the proposed C22MP is a state-of-the-art anomaly detector.

Dear Reviewer. In table 4, we give the ref for NORMA as [6], it should have been [7]. We will fix this.
