Abstract:Detecting anomalies in discrete event logs is critical for ensuring system reliability, security, and efficiency. Traditional window-based methods for log anomaly detection often suffer from context bias and fuzzy localization, which hinder their ability to precisely and efficiently identify anomalies. To address these challenges, we propose a graph-centric framework, TempoLog, which leverages multi-scale temporal graph networks for discrete log anomaly detection. Unlike conventional methods, TempoLog constructs continuous-time dynamic graphs directly from event logs, eliminating the need for fixed-size window grouping. By representing log templates as nodes and their temporal relationships as edges, the framework dynamically captures both local and global dependencies across multiple temporal scales. Additionally, a semantic-aware model enhances detection by incorporating rich contextual information. Extensive experiments on public datasets demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance in event-level anomaly detection, significantly outperforming existing approaches in both accuracy and efficiency.
Abstract:Log-based anomaly detection (LogAD) is the main component of Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations (AIOps), which can detect anomalous that occur during the system on-the-fly. Existing methods commonly extract log sequence features using classical machine learning techniques to identify whether a new sequence is an anomaly or not. However, these classical approaches often require trade-offs between efficiency and accuracy. The advent of quantum machine learning (QML) offers a promising alternative. By transforming parts of classical machine learning computations into parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs), QML can significantly reduce the number of trainable parameters while maintaining accuracy comparable to classical counterparts. In this work, we introduce a unified framework, \ourframework{}, for evaluating QML models in the context of LogAD. This framework incorporates diverse log data, integrated QML models, and comprehensive evaluation metrics. State-of-the-art methods such as DeepLog, LogAnomaly, and LogRobust, along with their quantum-transformed counterparts, are included in our framework.Beyond standard metrics like F1 score, precision, and recall, our evaluation extends to factors critical to QML performance, such as specificity, the number of circuits, circuit design, and quantum state encoding. Using \ourframework{}, we conduct extensive experiments to assess the performance of these models and their quantum counterparts, uncovering valuable insights and paving the way for future research in QML model selection and design for LogAD.
Abstract:The increasing volume of log data produced by software-intensive systems makes it impractical to analyze them manually. Many deep learning-based methods have been proposed for log-based anomaly detection. These methods face several challenges such as high-dimensional and noisy log data, class imbalance, generalization, and model interpretability. Recently, ChatGPT has shown promising results in various domains. However, there is still a lack of study on the application of ChatGPT for log-based anomaly detection. In this work, we proposed LogGPT, a log-based anomaly detection framework based on ChatGPT. By leveraging the ChatGPT's language interpretation capabilities, LogGPT aims to explore the transferability of knowledge from large-scale corpora to log-based anomaly detection. We conduct experiments to evaluate the performance of LogGPT and compare it with three deep learning-based methods on BGL and Spirit datasets. LogGPT shows promising results and has good interpretability. This study provides preliminary insights into prompt-based models, such as ChatGPT, for the log-based anomaly detection task.
Abstract:Incremental text-to-speech, also known as streaming TTS, has been increasingly applied to online speech applications that require ultra-low response latency to provide an optimal user experience. However, most of the existing speech synthesis pipelines deployed on GPU are still non-incremental, which uncovers limitations in high-concurrency scenarios, especially when the pipeline is built with end-to-end neural network models. To address this issue, we present a highly efficient approach to perform real-time incremental TTS on GPUs with Instant Request Pooling and Module-wise Dynamic Batching. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is capable of producing high-quality speech with a first-chunk latency lower than 80ms under 100 QPS on a single NVIDIA A10 GPU and significantly outperforms the non-incremental twin in both concurrency and latency. Our work reveals the effectiveness of high-performance incremental TTS on GPUs.
