Exathlon: A Benchmark for Explainable Anomaly Detection over Time Series

Summary: Exathlon is the benchmark for explainable anomaly detection over time series, built on Spark traces with six anomaly types. Ground-truth root-cause and extended-effect labels enable AD/ED evaluation and end-to-end pipelines; demonstrated on three techniques. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
