In the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence, anomaly detection is a critical capability that drives insights across industries—from fraud detection in banking to quality control in manufacturing. At Howso, we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of this domain, delivering best-in-class anomaly detection solutions that outperform traditional methods. 

The Data Proves It 

In recent benchmarks across multiple datasets, Howso’s anomaly detection outshined industry-standard methods—including OCSVM, Isolation Forest, CBLOF, LOF, ECOD, and DeepSVDD. 

Key results: Howso was the top performer in over 70% of tests—higher than any other solution, as well as in the top 3 in 100% of tests.

Why Howso is Best-in-Class

Unlike black-box AI models, Howso leverages Causal AI to provide more explainable, interpretable, and actionable anomaly detection. Traditional anomaly detection models often fail due to:

1. Lack of Context – Traditional models can flag outliers but often miss more subtle, context-driven anomalies—especially inliers that occur within dense regions of “normal” data. Worse, they offer no explanation for why an anomaly is occurring, leaving users in the dark.
2. Static Analysis – Many traditional models rely on predefined patterns that fail to adapt dynamically. Howso solves these challenges by applying causal reasoning, ensuring that businesses not only accurately detect anomalies but also understand their root causes and mitigate risks effectively.
