Introducing the problem of anomaly detection in predictive maintenance
Before we move on to the actual task of anomaly detection, we will explain the concept of an anomaly, discuss the challenges of anomaly detection, introduce IoT data for the application, and perform data preprocessing and exploration.
We’ll complete this introduction with the upcoming subsections:
- Introducing the anomaly detection problem
- IoT data preprocessing
- Exploring anomalies visually
In the first subsection, we’ll explain what characterizes an anomaly and introduce the anomaly detection application.
