HYDRA: A Multi-Level Hierarchy-Driven Approach for Robust Anomaly Detection in Time Series
Summary: HYDRA is an unsupervised, normalization-light detector combining graph-selected approximate nearest neighbors with fine-to-coarse, multi-resolution anomaly evidence. Its hierarchical ensemble robustly detects isolated and persistent anomalies, ranking first on 40 TSB-AD datasets while scaling to ultra-long series.
