US Patent 9843596 Anomaly detection in dynamically evolving data and systems

Detection of abnormalities in multi-dimensional data is performed by processing the multi-dimensional data to obtain a reduced dimension embedding matrix, using the reduced dimension embedding matrix to form a lower dimension (of at least 2D) embedded space, applying an out-of-sample extension procedure in the embedded space to compute coordinates of a newly arrived data point and using the computed coordinates of the newly arrived data point and Euclidean distances to determine whether the newly arrived data point is normal or abnormal.
