Temporal Logical Attention Network for Log-Based Anomaly Detection in Distributed Systems by Yang Liu, Shaochen Ren, Xuran Wang, Mengjie Zhou

“…Our approach makes three key contributions: (1) a temporal logical attention mechanism that explicitly models both time-series patterns and logical dependencies between log events across distributed components, (2) a multi-scale feature extraction module that captures system behaviors at different temporal granularities while preserving causal relationships, and (3) an adaptive threshold strategy that dynamically adjusts detection sensitivity based on system load and component interactions. …”
