Enhanced Industrial Machinery Condition Monitoring Methodology based on Novelty Detection and Multi-Modal Analysis
This paper presents a condition-based monitoring methodology based on novelty detection applied to industrial machinery. The proposed approach includes both, the classical classification of multiple a priori known scenarios, and the innovative detection capability of new operating modes not previously available. The development of condition-based monitoring methodologies considering the isolation capabilities of unexpected scenarios represents, nowadays, a trending topic able to answer the demanding requirements of the future industrial processes monitoring systems. First, the method is based on the temporal segmentation of the available physical magnitudes, and the estimation of a set of time-based statistical features. Then, a double feature reduction stage based on Principal Component Analysis and Linear Discriminant Analysis is applied in order to optimize the classification and novelty detection performances. The posterior combination of a Feed-forward Neural Network and One-Class Support Vector Machine allows the proper interpretation of known and unknown operating conditions. The effectiveness of this novel condition monitoring scheme has been verified by experimental results obtained from an automotive industry machine.Postprint (published version
PresenceSense: Zero-training Algorithm for Individual Presence Detection based on Power Monitoring
Non-intrusive presence detection of individuals in commercial buildings is
much easier to implement than intrusive methods such as passive infrared,
acoustic sensors, and camera. Individual power consumption, while providing
useful feedback and motivation for energy saving, can be used as a valuable
source for presence detection. We conduct pilot experiments in an office
setting to collect individual presence data by ultrasonic sensors, acceleration
sensors, and WiFi access points, in addition to the individual power monitoring
data. PresenceSense (PS), a semi-supervised learning algorithm based on power
measurement that trains itself with only unlabeled data, is proposed, analyzed
and evaluated in the study. Without any labeling efforts, which are usually
tedious and time consuming, PresenceSense outperforms popular models whose
parameters are optimized over a large training set. The results are interpreted
and potential applications of PresenceSense on other data sources are
discussed. The significance of this study attaches to space security, occupancy
behavior modeling, and energy saving of plug loads.Comment: BuildSys 201
A Survey of Prediction and Classification Techniques in Multicore Processor Systems
In multicore processor systems, being able to accurately predict the future provides new optimization opportunities, which otherwise could not be exploited. For example, an oracle able to predict a certain application\u27s behavior running on a smart phone could direct the power manager to switch to appropriate dynamic voltage and frequency scaling modes that would guarantee minimum levels of desired performance while saving energy consumption and thereby prolonging battery life. Using predictions enables systems to become proactive rather than continue to operate in a reactive manner. This prediction-based proactive approach has become increasingly popular in the design and optimization of integrated circuits and of multicore processor systems. Prediction transforms from simple forecasting to sophisticated machine learning based prediction and classification that learns from existing data, employs data mining, and predicts future behavior. This can be exploited by novel optimization techniques that can span across all layers of the computing stack. In this survey paper, we present a discussion of the most popular techniques on prediction and classification in the general context of computing systems with emphasis on multicore processors. The paper is far from comprehensive, but, it will help the reader interested in employing prediction in optimization of multicore processor systems
