# Unsupervised learning for anomaly detection

I've started working on an anomaly detection in Python. My dataset is a time series one. The data is being collected by some sensors which record and collect data on semiconductor making machines.

My dataset looks like this:

ContextID   Time_ms Ar_Flow_sccm    BacksGas_Flow_sccm

7290025 09:18:04.589    381.5917969 46.77734375


What I have to do is to apply some unsupervised learning technique on each and every parameter column individually and find any anomalies that might exist in there. The ContextID is more like a product number.

I would like to know which unsupervised learning techniques can be used for this kind of task at hand.

Thanks

• Do you know the percent of anomalies in your data? – Alireza Zolanvari Mar 21 '19 at 11:33
