**TLDR:** A task focused on detecting deviations from normal behavior patterns in video streams.

<p>Video anomaly detection is highly important in surveillance, production monitoring, and risk management applications. By definition, anomalies are rare and variable, making the task harder than standard classification. In many systems, normal behavior is learned and deviations from that norm are flagged. In real-world deployment, controlling false alarms is as important as detection sensitivity.</p>
