This tutorial demonstrates how to implement time series anomaly detection using PyTorch and LSTM Autoencoders. The process involves loading and preprocessing ECG data, defining an LSTM autoencoder model with encoder and decoder components, training the model using the Adam optimizer with L1 loss, and detecting anomalies by comparing reconstruction errors against a threshold. The model learns normal patterns during training and identifies deviations (anomalies) in test data by measuring how well it can reconstruct input sequences.
