TL;DR

The Mini-LM model is utilized to convert unstructured log messages from the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) and Android datasets into 384-dimensional semantic embeddings, capturing contextual relationships.

Abstract

: Rapid growth in volume and complexity of system logs in modern computing environments requires efficient anomaly detection to identify potential system failures, security breaches, or performance issues. This paper introduces a novel approach to detecting anomalies in system logs using Small Language Models (SLMs). We utilize the Mini-LM model to convert unstructured log messages from the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) and Android datasets into 384-dimensional semantic embeddings, capturing contextual relationships. These embeddings are combined with numerical features, including time differences and categorical encoded metadata, and processed by an Isolation Forest algorithm with a contamination rate of 0.2 to classify anomalies. A baseline model, using only process and thread identifiers, serves as a pseudo-ground truth for evaluation. The lightweight and modular pipeline ensures scalability and adaptability, making it suitable for real-time enterprise log analysis.

A Dataset-Aware Drift-Robust Log Anomaly Detection Pipeline for Cloud Service Reliability

Cloud services require continuous log monitoring to detect failures before outages occur. Most log anomaly detectors rely on fixed event identifiers or templates, which degrade as services evolve, parsers change, and new templates appear, leading to a mismatch between offline accuracy and online reliability. We propose...

Efficient Isolation Forest for Anomaly Detection in System Logs using Behavioral Feature Fusion

Detecting anomalies in system logs looks straightforward from the outside, yet logs are voluminous, the signalto-noise ratio is low, and standard Isolation Forest (IF) scores each entry in isolation, with no sense of whose entry it is; a user repeating one command in a loop stays invisible to it. This work addresses th...
