Researchers have developed a new, unified taxonomy to categorize deep learning methods for multivariate time series anomaly detection (MTSAD). This framework, comprising eleven dimensions across input, output, and model aspects, aims to bring order to the rapidly growing field. The taxonomy was derived from extensive analysis of existing studies and review papers, and validated on recent publications. Findings indicate a trend towards Transformer-based models and those focused on reconstruction and prediction, with emerging adaptive and generative approaches on the horizon. AI
