Abstract


Anomaly detection plays a crucial role in identifying irregular patterns across various domains, including cybersecurity, healthcare, and finance. This research explores innovative approaches to efficiently and accurately detect anomalies using machine learning, rule-based systems, and hybrid techniques. The study outlines a structured methodology encompassing data collection, preprocessing, and experimental setup, leveraging tools such as Python and TensorFlow. Performance metrics like accuracy, precision, and recall are analyzed through visual representations, providing insights into model effectiveness. Key limitations, including data constraints and model complexity, are discussed alongside future research directions to enhance detection capabilities. This work aims to contribute to the advancement of anomaly detection systems, paving the way for more reliable and scalable solutions in critical applications.
