Anomaly Detection Based on Indicators Aggregation
Automatic anomaly detection is a major issue in various areas. Beyond mere
detection, the identification of the source of the problem that produced the
anomaly is also essential. This is particularly the case in aircraft engine
health monitoring where detecting early signs of failure (anomalies) and
helping the engine owner to implement efficiently the adapted maintenance
operations (fixing the source of the anomaly) are of crucial importance to
reduce the costs attached to unscheduled maintenance. This paper introduces a
general methodology that aims at classifying monitoring signals into normal
ones and several classes of abnormal ones. The main idea is to leverage expert
knowledge by generating a very large number of binary indicators. Each
indicator corresponds to a fully parametrized anomaly detector built from
parametric anomaly scores designed by experts. A feature selection method is
used to keep only the most discriminant indicators which are used at inputs of
a Naive Bayes classifier. This give an interpretable classifier based on
interpretable anomaly detectors whose parameters have been optimized indirectly
by the selection process. The proposed methodology is evaluated on simulated
data designed to reproduce some of the anomaly types observed in real world
engines.Comment: International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN 2014),

COVID-19 Imposes Rethinking of Conferencing -- Environmental Impact Assessment of Artificial Intelligence Conferences
It has been noticed that through COVID-19 greenhouse gas emissions had a
sudden reduction. Based on this significant observation, we decided to conduct
a research to quantify the impact of scientific conferences' air-travelling,
explore and suggest alternative ways for greener conferences to re-duce the
global carbon footprint. Specifically, we focused on the most popular
conferences for the Artificial Intelligence community based on their scientific
impact factor, their scale, and the well-organized proceedings towards
measuring the impact of air travelling participation. This is the first time
that systematic quantification of a state-of-the-art subject like Artificial
Intelligence takes place to define its conferencing footprint in the broader
frames of environmental awareness. Our findings highlight that the virtual way
is the first on the list of green conferences' conduction although there are
serious concerns about it. Alternatives to optimal conferences' location
selection have demonstrated savings on air-travelling CO2 emissions of up to
63.9%.Comment: 18 pages, 5 figure
Neuron - synapse level problem decomposition method for cooperative neuro - evolution of feedforward networks for time series prediction
A major concern in cooperative coevolution for neuro-evolution is the appropriate problem decomposition method that takes into account the architectural properties of the neural network. Decomposition to the synapse and neuron level has been proposed in the past that have their own strengths and limitations depending on the application problem. In this paper, a new problem decomposition method that combines neuron and synapse level is proposed for feedfoward networks and applied to
time series prediction. The results show that the proposed approach has improved the results in selected benchmark data sets when compared to related methods. It also has promising performance when compared to other computational intelligence methods from the literature
