One-Class Classification: Taxonomy of Study and Review of Techniques
One-class classification (OCC) algorithms aim to build classification models
when the negative class is either absent, poorly sampled or not well defined.
This unique situation constrains the learning of efficient classifiers by
defining class boundary just with the knowledge of positive class. The OCC
problem has been considered and applied under many research themes, such as
outlier/novelty detection and concept learning. In this paper we present a
unified view of the general problem of OCC by presenting a taxonomy of study
for OCC problems, which is based on the availability of training data,
algorithms used and the application domains applied. We further delve into each
of the categories of the proposed taxonomy and present a comprehensive
literature review of the OCC algorithms, techniques and methodologies with a
focus on their significance, limitations and applications. We conclude our
paper by discussing some open research problems in the field of OCC and present
our vision for future research.Comment: 24 pages + 11 pages of references, 8 figure
Online Tool Condition Monitoring Based on Parsimonious Ensemble+
Accurate diagnosis of tool wear in metal turning process remains an open
challenge for both scientists and industrial practitioners because of
inhomogeneities in workpiece material, nonstationary machining settings to suit
production requirements, and nonlinear relations between measured variables and
tool wear. Common methodologies for tool condition monitoring still rely on
batch approaches which cannot cope with a fast sampling rate of metal cutting
process. Furthermore they require a retraining process to be completed from
scratch when dealing with a new set of machining parameters. This paper
presents an online tool condition monitoring approach based on Parsimonious
Ensemble+, pENsemble+. The unique feature of pENsemble+ lies in its highly
flexible principle where both ensemble structure and base-classifier structure
can automatically grow and shrink on the fly based on the characteristics of
data streams. Moreover, the online feature selection scenario is integrated to
actively sample relevant input attributes. The paper presents advancement of a
newly developed ensemble learning algorithm, pENsemble+, where online active
learning scenario is incorporated to reduce operator labelling effort. The
ensemble merging scenario is proposed which allows reduction of ensemble
complexity while retaining its diversity. Experimental studies utilising
real-world manufacturing data streams and comparisons with well known
algorithms were carried out. Furthermore, the efficacy of pENsemble was
examined using benchmark concept drift data streams. It has been found that
pENsemble+ incurs low structural complexity and results in a significant
reduction of operator labelling effort.Comment: this paper has been published by IEEE Transactions on Cybernetic
Evolving Large-Scale Data Stream Analytics based on Scalable PANFIS
Many distributed machine learning frameworks have recently been built to
speed up the large-scale data learning process. However, most distributed
machine learning used in these frameworks still uses an offline algorithm model
which cannot cope with the data stream problems. In fact, large-scale data are
mostly generated by the non-stationary data stream where its pattern evolves
over time. To address this problem, we propose a novel Evolving Large-scale
Data Stream Analytics framework based on a Scalable Parsimonious Network based
on Fuzzy Inference System (Scalable PANFIS), where the PANFIS evolving
algorithm is distributed over the worker nodes in the cloud to learn
large-scale data stream. Scalable PANFIS framework incorporates the active
learning (AL) strategy and two model fusion methods. The AL accelerates the
distributed learning process to generate an initial evolving large-scale data
stream model (initial model), whereas the two model fusion methods aggregate an
initial model to generate the final model. The final model represents the
update of current large-scale data knowledge which can be used to infer future
data. Extensive experiments on this framework are validated by measuring the
accuracy and running time of four combinations of Scalable PANFIS and other
Spark-based built in algorithms. The results indicate that Scalable PANFIS with
AL improves the training time to be almost two times faster than Scalable
PANFIS without AL. The results also show both rule merging and the voting
mechanisms yield similar accuracy in general among Scalable PANFIS algorithms
and they are generally better than Spark-based algorithms. In terms of running
time, the Scalable PANFIS training time outperforms all Spark-based algorithms
when classifying numerous benchmark datasets.Comment: 20 pages, 5 figure
Intelligent systems in manufacturing: current developments and future prospects
Global competition and rapidly changing customer requirements are demanding increasing changes in manufacturing environments. Enterprises are required to constantly redesign their products and continuously reconfigure their manufacturing systems. Traditional approaches to manufacturing systems do not fully satisfy this new situation. Many authors have proposed that artificial intelligence will bring the flexibility and efficiency needed by manufacturing systems. This paper is a review of artificial intelligence techniques used in manufacturing systems. The paper first defines the components of a simplified intelligent manufacturing systems (IMS), the different Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to be considered and then shows how these AI techniques are used for the components of IMS
