What you'll learn

  • Engineer features that expose anomalies, including rolling statistics, seasonality, and rate-of-change signals.

  • Combine multiple detectors into a unified anomaly scoring pipeline that outperforms single-method approaches.

  • Evaluate detectors rigorously with precision, recall, and PR-AUC understanding why recall and threshold tuning matter under heavy class imbalance.

There are 2 modules in this course

This module builds the foundation for a practical anomaly detection system by showing how to move beyond simple threshold rules and toward more capable statistical and machine learning approaches. You will examine how different types of anomalies appear in fraud, security, infrastructure, and sensor data, engineer features that make unusual behavior easier to detect, and train unsupervised detectors on real data. By the end of the module, you will have a strong base for selecting and comparing detection methods across tabular and time-series settings.

This module helps you turn separate anomaly detection methods into a production-oriented system that can score incoming data, explain alerts, and support operational decision-making. You will combine detector outputs into a unified anomaly score, evaluate performance under severe class imbalance, deploy the pipeline as a FastAPI service, and plan for monitoring, feedback, and drift over time. These skills mirror the real challenges faced in fraud detection, observability, security, and other high-stakes monitoring environments.
