Course details
This unit focuses on the importance of data preprocessing techniques such as handling missing values, data normalization, and feature scaling in order to prepare the data for anomaly detection algorithms. It also covers data visualization techniques to understand the distribution of data and identify patterns. • Anomaly Detection Algorithms for Retail
This unit covers various anomaly detection algorithms such as One-Class SVM, Local Outlier Factor (LOF), and Isolation Forest, and their applications in retail data. It also discusses the advantages and limitations of each algorithm and how to choose the best algorithm for a given problem. • Anomaly Detection in Time Series Data
This unit focuses on anomaly detection in time series data, which is commonly used in retail to detect unusual patterns in sales data, website traffic, and other metrics. It covers techniques such as seasonal decomposition, trend analysis, and forecasting to identify anomalies in time series data. • Anomaly Detection using Machine Learning
This unit covers the application of machine learning techniques such as supervised and unsupervised learning, clustering, and regression to detect anomalies in retail data. It also discusses the use of ensemble methods and deep learning techniques for anomaly detection. • Anomaly Detection in Customer Behavior
This unit focuses on anomaly detection in customer behavior, which is critical in retail to detect unusual patterns in customer purchasing behavior, browsing behavior, and other metrics. It covers techniques such as clustering, decision trees, and neural networks to identify anomalies in customer behavior. • Anomaly Detection in Supply Chain Management
This unit covers anomaly detection in supply chain management, which is critical in retail to detect unusual patterns in inventory levels, shipping times, and other metrics. It discusses techniques such as predictive analytics, machine learning, and data mining to identify anomalies in supply chain management. • Anomaly Detection using Big Data
This unit focuses on anomaly detection using big data, which is critical in retail to detect unusual patterns in large datasets. It covers techniques such as Hadoop, Spark, and NoSQL databases to process and analyze large datasets for anomaly detection. • Anomaly Detection in Predictive Maintenance
