Beyond the Poster: HiAD in Depth
If you’re here from the QR code — welcome. The poster gave you the summary. This page shows the method working. The core intuition: jolts The poster mentions HiPPO representations, but doesn’t have room to explain why they’re useful for anomaly detection. Here’s the idea. HiPPO continuously compresses a stream of observations into a compact coefficient vector — essentially a polynomial approximation of the recent history of the signal. When something unexpected happens — a sudden offset, a spike, a slow drift — the update to that coefficient vector is abruptly large. We call these jolts. ...
