Notes

Zero-shot anomaly detector pre-trained on ~400M points: 12 anomaly-detection datasets (incl. labelled test data) + Monash with injected anomalies. Explicit exclusion of all evaluation datasets (SMD, MSL, SMAP, SWaT, PSM, NeurIPS-TS, UCR). Pre-training includes YAHOO, IOPS, MGAB, ECG, MITDB, SVDB, OPP, Exathlon - sources that are also in TSB-AD-U/-M, so TSB-AD evaluations of DADA are contaminated (as TimeRCD notes). The GitHub repo linked in the paper returns 404 (2026-10-15); no released checkpoint found.
