  • Publication number: 20220374700
    Abstract: A method for detecting anomalous data is provided. The method comprises collecting a training dataset comprising a number of transactional time series, wherein the time series comprise non-anomalous data entries for a specified transaction type. The training dataset is fed into a gated recurrent unit (GRU) network, which learns the data distribution for the transactional time series. The GRU predicts expected future values of the specified transaction type according to the learned data distribution. An upper bound and a lower bound for future values are calculated based a standard deviation of the predicted values. When new data entries of the specified transaction type are received their values are compared to the upper bound and the lower bound, and an error notification is provided if the values of the new data entries fall outside the upper bound or lower bound.
