Benchmarking Deep Learning Models for Anomaly Detection in Real-World Cloud Telemetry
The study tested four deep learning models—LSTM/GRU, Attention Transformer, TimesNet, and Autoformer—on IBM Cloud data using the Numenta Anomaly Benchmark (NAB). Results show that short-term deviations dominate real cloud anomalies. TimesNet performed best due to early detection sensitivity, while the improved GRU offered a stable false-alarm profile.
