Detection systems, methods and computer program products comprising a non-transitory tangible storage medium readable by a processing circuit and storing instructions for execution by the processing circuit for performing a method for anomaly detection, a detected anomaly being indicative of an undesirable event. A detection system comprises a computer and an anomaly detection engine executable by the computer, the anomaly detection engine configured to perform a method comprising receiving data comprising a plurality m of multidimensional data points (MDDPs), each data point having n features, constructing a dictionary D based on the received data, embedding dictionary D into a lower dimension embedded space and classifying, based in the lower dimension embedded space, a MDDP as an anomaly or as normal.
