Snowflake MLPF: ML Functions Overview

Snowflake MLPF (Machine Learning Powered Functions) provide easy to use SQL functions powered by machine learning to help analysts make better, faster decisions. The functions include forecasting, anomaly detection, and contribution explorer. Anomaly detection uses machine learning to identify outliers in time series data and trigger alerts. It allows predicting anomalies for single or multiple time series, including exogenous variables, labeling anomalies, and adjusting the prediction interval. The underlying algorithm is gradient boosting machine. The function provides options like separate monitoring of series and using labeled anomalies to improve accuracy.

What can MLPF do?

Forecasting Anomaly Detection Contribution Explorer


Use ML to build more reliable time Use machine learning to identify Use machine learning to quickly
series forecasts with the automated outliers in time series and trigger identify top drivers contributing to
handling of seasonality, missing alerts or help find unlikely-to- the change of a given metrics across

What it Does – Anomaly Detection

• Use ML to identify outliers in time series and trigger alerts or help find unlikely-to-happen
events that should be either be excluded from the analysis or should be focused on
• Key functionalities:
 Predicting anomalies for a single time series or multi-series
 Including exogenous variables and exploring their relative importance
 Labeling anomalies and generating new predications with identified anomalies
( supervised predictions)
 Setting how rare you want your identified anomalies to be (1% of forecasted possibilities)
 The underlying algorithm is GBM ( Gradient boosting machine)
• This function provides options for building on a simple single-
series detection:

• You can use column in your data table to identify series that
should be monitored separately for anomalies ( e.g

How it works storeA_jacket vs storeB_jacket)

– Anomaly • You can provide the model with hand-labeled anomalies in


Detection your training data - to ensure future anomalies are identified as
accurately as possible

• You can determine the size of your predication interval. A


smaller prediction interval corresponds to a stricter definition
of “normal” - and increases the number of anomalies you’ll
identify.
