Explainable multi-class anomaly detection on functional data

Abstract

In this paper we describe an approach for anomaly detection and its explainability in multivariate functional data. The anomaly detection procedure consists of transforming the series into a vector of features and using an Isolation forest algorithm. The explainable procedure is based on the computation of the SHAP coefficients and on the use of a supervised decision tree. We apply it on simulated data to measure the performance of our method and on real data coming from industry.
