  • Patent number: 12001926
    Abstract: Techniques for machine-learning of long-term seasonal patterns are disclosed. In some embodiments, a network service receives a set of time-series data that tracks metric values of at least one computing resource over time. Responsive to receiving the time-series data, the network service detects a subset of metric values that are outliers and associated with a plurality of timestamps. The network service maps the plurality of timestamps to one or more encodings of at least one encoding space that defines a plurality of encodings for different seasonal patterns. Based on the mapped encodings, the network service generates a representation of a seasonal pattern. Based on the representation of the seasonal pattern, the network service may perform one or more operations in association with the at least one computing resource.
