Anomaly Detection

Identifying artificial patterns in traffic (bots, fake engagement) through vector space anomalies, not keywords.

Definition

Anomaly Detection identifies patterns that deviate from normal behavior-in Sentient OS, primarily artificial patterns like bot traffic, fake engagement, and manipulation. The Integrity Layer applies vector-space anomaly detection: behavioral vectors that cluster abnormally, engagement patterns that don't follow organic dynamics, growth curves that are too steady (e.g., 2.7%/month flags manipulation). Unlike rule-based detection (which adversaries adapt to), anomaly detection finds statistical outliers in high-dimensional space. The Social Reliability Index and Audience Authenticity Score surface inorganic spikes, bought likes, and bot networks. Anomaly detection protects your investment from corrupted metrics and ensures decisions are based on real signals.

Why It Matters

Anomaly detection protects Sentient's outputs from manipulation. The Integrity Layer ensures you're optimizing for real audiences, not bots or bought engagement.
