Patent number: 12626094Abstract: Anomaly detection in neural networks is provided. The method comprises extracting, from different layers of a recurrent neural network (RNN) for a specified time interval, a number of on-the-fly node activations produced by sequences of event data from a number of data sources and sensors. The method references known node activations of the RNN produced by normal sequences of event data, and for each layer of the RNN, calculates a maximum nonparametric divergence of the on-the-fly node activations from the known node activations. For each layer of the RNN, the method determines a subset of nodes that most contribute to the maximum nonparametric divergence for that layer for a given time window and identifies data sources or sensors from among the number of data sources and sensors responsible for activating the subset of nodes that most contribute to the maximum nonparametric divergence for each layer.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2023Date of Patent: May 12, 2026Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Celia Cintas, Girmaw Abebe Tadesse, Skyler Speakman, Komminist Weldemariam
