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
Mining developer communication data streams
This paper explores the concepts of modelling a software development project
as a process that results in the creation of a continuous stream of data. In
terms of the Jazz repository used in this research, one aspect of that stream
of data would be developer communication. Such data can be used to create an
evolving social network characterized by a range of metrics. This paper
presents the application of data stream mining techniques to identify the most
useful metrics for predicting build outcomes. Results are presented from
applying the Hoeffding Tree classification method used in conjunction with the
Adaptive Sliding Window (ADWIN) method for detecting concept drift. The results
indicate that only a small number of the available metrics considered have any
significance for predicting the outcome of a build
Adaptive Online Sequential ELM for Concept Drift Tackling
A machine learning method needs to adapt to over time changes in the
environment. Such changes are known as concept drift. In this paper, we propose
concept drift tackling method as an enhancement of Online Sequential Extreme
Learning Machine (OS-ELM) and Constructive Enhancement OS-ELM (CEOS-ELM) by
adding adaptive capability for classification and regression problem. The
scheme is named as adaptive OS-ELM (AOS-ELM). It is a single classifier scheme
that works well to handle real drift, virtual drift, and hybrid drift. The
AOS-ELM also works well for sudden drift and recurrent context change type. The
scheme is a simple unified method implemented in simple lines of code. We
evaluated AOS-ELM on regression and classification problem by using concept
drift public data set (SEA and STAGGER) and other public data sets such as
MNIST, USPS, and IDS. Experiments show that our method gives higher kappa value
compared to the multiclassifier ELM ensemble. Even though AOS-ELM in practice
does not need hidden nodes increase, we address some issues related to the
increasing of the hidden nodes such as error condition and rank values. We
propose taking the rank of the pseudoinverse matrix as an indicator parameter
to detect underfitting condition.Comment: Hindawi Publishing. Computational Intelligence and Neuroscience

Dynamic Data Mining: Methodology and Algorithms
Supervised data stream mining has become an important and challenging data mining task in modern
organizations. The key challenges are threefold: (1) a possibly infinite number of streaming examples
and time-critical analysis constraints; (2) concept drift; and (3) skewed data distributions.
To address these three challenges, this thesis proposes the novel dynamic data mining (DDM)
methodology by effectively applying supervised ensemble models to data stream mining. DDM can be
loosely defined as categorization-organization-selection of supervised ensemble models. It is inspired
by the idea that although the underlying concepts in a data stream are time-varying, their distinctions
can be identified. Therefore, the models trained on the distinct concepts can be dynamically selected in
order to classify incoming examples of similar concepts.
First, following the general paradigm of DDM, we examine the different concept-drifting stream
mining scenarios and propose corresponding effective and efficient data mining algorithms.
• To address concept drift caused merely by changes of variable distributions, which we term
pseudo concept drift, base models built on categorized streaming data are organized and
selected in line with their corresponding variable distribution characteristics.
• To address concept drift caused by changes of variable and class joint distributions, which we
term true concept drift, an effective data categorization scheme is introduced. A group of
working models is dynamically organized and selected for reacting to the drifting concept.
Secondly, we introduce an integration stream mining framework, enabling the paradigm advocated by
DDM to be widely applicable for other stream mining problems. Therefore, we are able to introduce
easily six effective algorithms for mining data streams with skewed class distributions.
In addition, we also introduce a new ensemble model approach for batch learning, following the same
methodology. Both theoretical and empirical studies demonstrate its effectiveness.
Future work would be targeted at improving the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed
algorithms. Meantime, we would explore the possibilities of using the integration framework to solve
other open stream mining research problems
Stream Learning in Energy IoT Systems: A Case Study in Combined Cycle Power Plants
The prediction of electrical power produced in combined cycle power plants is a key challenge in the electrical power and energy systems field. This power production can vary depending on environmental variables, such as temperature, pressure, and humidity. Thus, the business problem is how to predict the power production as a function of these environmental conditions, in order to maximize the profit. The research community has solved this problem by applying Machine Learning techniques, and has managed to reduce the computational and time costs in comparison with the traditional thermodynamical analysis. Until now, this challenge has been tackled from a batch learning perspective, in which data is assumed to be at rest, and where models do not continuously integrate new information into already constructed models. We present an approach closer to the Big Data and Internet of Things paradigms, in which data are continuously arriving and where models learn incrementally, achieving significant enhancements in terms of data processing (time, memory and computational costs), and obtaining competitive performances. This work compares and examines the hourly electrical power prediction of several streaming regressors, and discusses about the best technique in terms of time processing and predictive performance to be applied on this streaming scenario.This work has been partially supported by the EU project iDev40.
