This technique is often referred to under the acronym “STL” and is helpful for forecasting scenarios, but also for anomaly detection.

The typical cyclical behavior is automatically learnt to be normal and the parts that show stronger deviations are flagged as outliers.Īnother useful preprocessing technique when working with time series data is to decompose it to analyze if there is a seasonality and trend contained in the data.

As you can read from the chart below the red line marks the outliers found in a simple time series data set. One of them is the so-called Robust Random Cut Forest, which is certainly not a tool for randomly cutting trees in your favourite forest nearby, but a tree based modelling technique that can provide you with insight, telling you which of your data points are the most anomalous ones in your dataset. But of course there are even more useful techniques you may want to use. My colleague Greg recently wrote about cyclical statistical forecasts and anomalies. In the last blog post of DLTK version 3.5 we discussed various new approaches for anomaly detection, especially in time series data. Last but not least, please keep in mind this approach helps you automate the modelling part, but it still requires you to think and really understand the business problem you want to solve and what datasets you actually decide to use for the modelling part.

You have an unknown dataset and want to simply get a model built on automatically without spending time on it manually determining the right algorithms and their parameters.

You have already built a model, either with Splunk’s Machine Learning Toolkit or some other techniques, and you want to know if it can be further improved.

This approach can be useful in two typical scenarios: Under the scoring results you can find the model summary which shows more details about the automatic model building process.

The following dashboard shows the results of a classification model that was automatically built on top of a given example dataset. However, this comes at the cost of compute, something to be aware of if you decide to apply it to your datasets. Autosklearn allows you to automatically run various machine learning algorithms over your dataset, build models, score them, further tune them and finally provide you with an optimal model that was found based on a few user defined constraints.

Recently, my brilliant colleague Lukas worked with autosklearn, an automated machine learning library and contributed a notebook and dashboard example on how to apply this concept to a given dataset. We discussed a gridsearch based approach in the blog post of DLTK version 3.4 release. Doing this manually requires quite some time so you might want to think about ways to automate this. You can learn more about it in this recent tech talk which you can watch on demand.īuilding machine learning models may require you to iterate over your model to find the best set of parameters for a given dataset. Let’s get started with the new operational overview dashboard which was built using Splunk’s brand new dashboard studio functionality which I highly recommend checking out.

We’re excited to share that the Deep Learning Toolkit App for Splunk (DLTK) is now available in version 3.6 for Splunk Enterprise and Splunk Cloud.
