An anomaly detection system is disclosed capable of reporting anomalous processes or hosts in a computer network using machine learning models trained using unsupervised training techniques. In embodiments, the system assigns observed processes to a set of process categories based on the file system path of the program executed by the process. The system extracts a feature vector for each process or host from the observation records and applies the machine learning models to the feature vectors to determine an outlier metric each process or host. The processes or hosts with the highest outlier metrics are reported as detected anomalies to be further examined by security analysts. In embodiments, the machine learnings models may be periodically retrained based on new observation records using unsupervised machine learning techniques. Accordingly, the system allows the models to learn from newly observed data without requiring the new data to be manually labeled by humans.
