Abstract
An apparatus for anomaly detection in a network, using an autoencoder including an encoder and a decoder. The apparatus includes a processor and a memory including computer program code, causing the apparatus to: providing the decoder with network configuration parameters used to obtain calculated network performance indicators, obtaining reconstructed network performance indicators from the decoder based on the network configuration parameters used to obtain the calculated network performance indicators, comparing the reconstructed network performance indicators with the calculated network performance indicators, detecting an anomaly when observing a deviation between the reconstructed network performance indicators and the calculated network performance indicators, providing the encoder with the calculated network performance indicators, obtaining estimated network configuration parameters from the encoder based on the calculated network performance indicators, detecting that the anomaly is related to the network configuration parameters.
