Engineering Datasets for Outliers & Anomalies Detection

  • SMAP & MSL Dataset - **~ 250 MB - Anomaly/Novelty Detection**

    • This dataset contains expert-labeled telemetry anomaly data from the Soil Moisture Active Passive (SMAP) satellite and the Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) rover, Curiosity. Indications of telemetry anomalies can be found within previously mentioned ISA reports. All telemetry channels discussed in an individual ISA were reviewed to ensure that the anomaly was evident in the associated telemetry data, and specific anomalous time ranges were manually labeled for each channel. If multiple anomalous sequences and channels closely resembled each other, only one was kept for the experiment in order to create a diverse and balanced set. Anomalies were classified into two categories, point and contextual, to distinguish between anomalies that would likely be identified by properly-set alarms or distance-based methods that ignore tem- poral information (point anomalies) and those that require more complex methodologies such as LSTMs or Hierarchical Temporal Memory (HTM) approaches to detect (contextual anomalies), SMAP: TM Channels (55), Total TM values (429,735), Total anomalies (69), MSL: TM Channels (27), Total TM values (66,709), Total anomalies (36)- Data in .npy files - Kyle Hundman et al. 2018, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory

The challenge lies in that both domains (propulsion, heat transfers) contains vocabulary that overlaps such as (combustion, exchange, thermal, fluid, etc…) which makes it harder to distinguish which journal it comes from.
