Automate Anomaly Detection with Medoid Clustering in n8n
detail.loadingPreview
Streamline anomaly detection by automatically identifying and leveraging medoids for robust clustering. This n8n workflow integrates with Qdrant to efficiently set up and utilize medoids for identifying unusual data points.
About This Workflow
This n8n workflow, specifically part 2 of a series, focuses on setting up medoids for anomaly detection using the Qdrant vector database. It automates the process of identifying two types of medoids within your dataset, crucial for effective clustering and outlier identification. By leveraging Qdrant's capabilities, the workflow retrieves cluster information, calculates the most representative point as a medoid using sparse matrix operations, and then updates the payload of these medoids in Qdrant. Furthermore, it extracts the medoid's vector and payload to establish a search threshold, identifying points furthest from the identified medoid, thus paving the way for precise anomaly detection. This workflow is essential for anyone looking to build sophisticated anomaly detection systems with automated data processing.
Key Features
- Automated Medoid Identification: Automatically finds the most central points (medoids) within data clusters.
- Qdrant Integration: Seamlessly connects with Qdrant for efficient data retrieval, processing, and updates.
- Two-Type Medoid Setup: Configurable to identify and utilize different types of medoids for comprehensive analysis.
- Sparse Matrix Calculation: Efficiently computes cluster distance matrices and identifies medoids using
scipy.sparse. - Anomaly Threshold Setting: Establishes a dynamic threshold for anomaly detection based on medoid proximity.
How To Use
- Trigger Workflow: Initiate the workflow by clicking 'Test workflow' in n8n.
- Configure Qdrant Variables: Ensure your Qdrant cluster connection details (URL, collection name, API key) are correctly set up as credentials and accessible.
- Define Cluster Search Parameters: Adjust the
sampleandlimitparameters in the 'Cluster Distance Matrix' node to control the scope of cluster analysis. - Verify Python Code: Review the Python code in the 'Scipy Sparse Matrix' node to ensure it correctly calculates the medoid.
- Set Anomaly Thresholds: Configure the
furthestFromCentervalue in the 'Medoids Variables' (or a similar node if not explicitly shown) to define how far points can be from a medoid before being considered anomalous.
