Gaining an insight into the world of artificial intelligence demands exceptional skills in building incredible machine learning models, that can leverage greater benefits for the business world. Apart from powering massive industries and processes with sheer power and skill; Machine learning is exploiting greater gains for the industries worldwide. By leveraging anomaly detection assists in identifying and addressing potential machine learning techniques, issues, promptly, enhancing system reliability, and security. Bringing forth robust systems is what businesses need to power up their success. Let us look at what anomaly detection means and how it triggers big success for businesses worldwide. What is Anomaly Detection in Machine Learning? Anomaly detection in machine learning is the process of using machine learning models to identify anomalies rapidly. In simpler words, an anomaly refers to something abnormal; different; deviation; irregular; or not easily classified. With evolving times, anomaly detection techniques have also evolved; which helps in identifying outliers easily. However, Anomalies are often confused with outliers. While outliers are accidental and can be caused by chance; anomalies have deeper roots and can be traced to causal conditions or events. Role of in Anomaly Detection: Machine Learning Anomaly detection and machine learning go hand in hand. It shares the core ability to handle significant volumes of data, high dimensional data collected from diverse sources, a high success rate in identifying anomalies or deviations, and the ability to have real-time detection. Machine learning helps businesses with critical functions such as fraud detection, identifying security threats, personalization and recommendations, automated customer service through chatbots, transcription, and translation, data analysis, and more.

SUPERVISED ANOMALY DETECTION It necessitates the use of properly labeled data, which adversely impacts that quality as the algorithm is restrictive and only detects anomalies that it has already seen previously in its training data. SEMI-SUPERVISED ANOMALY DETECTION This is a sheer blend of the above two approaches; that caters to handling some labeled data and large amounts of unlabeled data. ANOMALY DETECTION METHODS UNSUPERVISED SUPERVISED SEMI-SUPERVISED TYPES OF ANOMALIES 3 Types of Anomalies:
