VisAnomReasoner: Efficient VLM for Time-Series Anomaly Detection via VisAnomBench

Researchers introduce VisAnomBench, a curated benchmark augmenting public time-series anomaly datasets with natural-language rationales generated and selected from multiple large VLMs using task-specific rewards. Fine-tuning on this benchmark produces VisAnomReasoner, a parameter-efficient vision-language model that outperforms all baselines by at least 21.23 and 23.87 percentage points in precision and F1 on VisAnomBench. Cross-benchmark evaluation on TSB-AD-U shows further generalization gains of 9.57 and 13.39 percentage points in precision and F1, respectively.
