When Things Matter: A Data-Centric View of the Internet of Things
With the recent advances in radio-frequency identification (RFID), low-cost
wireless sensor devices, and Web technologies, the Internet of Things (IoT)
approach has gained momentum in connecting everyday objects to the Internet and
facilitating machine-to-human and machine-to-machine communication with the
physical world. While IoT offers the capability to connect and integrate both
digital and physical entities, enabling a whole new class of applications and
services, several significant challenges need to be addressed before these
applications and services can be fully realized. A fundamental challenge
centers around managing IoT data, typically produced in dynamic and volatile
environments, which is not only extremely large in scale and volume, but also
noisy, and continuous. This article surveys the main techniques and
state-of-the-art research efforts in IoT from data-centric perspectives,
including data stream processing, data storage models, complex event
processing, and searching in IoT. Open research issues for IoT data management
are also discussed
LSTM Learning with Bayesian and Gaussian Processing for Anomaly Detection in Industrial IoT
The data generated by millions of sensors in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is extremely dynamic, heterogeneous, and large scale. It poses great challenges on the real-time analysis and decision making for anomaly detection in IIoT. In this paper, we propose a LSTM-Gauss-NBayes method, which is a synergy of the long short-term memory neural network (LSTM-NN) and the Gaussian Bayes model for outlier detection in IIoT. In a nutshell, the LSTM-NN builds model on normal time series. It detects outliers by utilising the predictive error for the Gaussian Naive Bayes model. Our method exploits advantages of both LSTM and Gaussian Naive Bayes models, which not only has strong prediction capability of LSTM for future time point data, but also achieves an excellent classification performance of Gaussian Naive Bayes model through the predictive error. Empirical studies demonstrate our solution outperforms the best-known competitors, which is a preferable choice for detecting anomalies
Data Stream Clustering: A Review
Number of connected devices is steadily increasing and these devices
continuously generate data streams. Real-time processing of data streams is
arousing interest despite many challenges. Clustering is one of the most
suitable methods for real-time data stream processing, because it can be
applied with less prior information about the data and it does not need labeled
instances. However, data stream clustering differs from traditional clustering
in many aspects and it has several challenging issues. Here, we provide
information regarding the concepts and common characteristics of data streams,
such as concept drift, data structures for data streams, time window models and
outlier detection. We comprehensively review recent data stream clustering
algorithms and analyze them in terms of the base clustering technique,
computational complexity and clustering accuracy. A comparison of these
algorithms is given along with still open problems. We indicate popular data
stream repositories and datasets, stream processing tools and platforms. Open
problems about data stream clustering are also discussed.Comment: Has been accepted for publication in Artificial Intelligence Revie
Machine Learning in Wireless Sensor Networks: Algorithms, Strategies, and Applications
Wireless sensor networks monitor dynamic environments that change rapidly
over time. This dynamic behavior is either caused by external factors or
initiated by the system designers themselves. To adapt to such conditions,
sensor networks often adopt machine learning techniques to eliminate the need
for unnecessary redesign. Machine learning also inspires many practical
solutions that maximize resource utilization and prolong the lifespan of the
network. In this paper, we present an extensive literature review over the
period 2002-2013 of machine learning methods that were used to address common
issues in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). The advantages and disadvantages of
each proposed algorithm are evaluated against the corresponding problem. We
also provide a comparative guide to aid WSN designers in developing suitable
machine learning solutions for their specific application challenges.Comment: Accepted for publication in IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorial
Empowering Patient Similarity Networks through Innovative Data-Quality-Aware Federated Profiling
Continuous monitoring of patients involves collecting and analyzing sensory data from a multitude of sources. To overcome communication overhead, ensure data privacy and security, reduce data loss, and maintain efficient resource usage, the processing and analytics are moved close to where the data are located (e.g., the edge). However, data quality (DQ) can be degraded because of imprecise or malfunctioning sensors, dynamic changes in the environment, transmission failures, or delays. Therefore, it is crucial to keep an eye on data quality and spot problems as quickly as possible, so that they do not mislead clinical judgments and lead to the wrong course of action. In this article, a novel approach called federated data quality profiling (FDQP) is proposed to assess the quality of the data at the edge. FDQP is inspired by federated learning (FL) and serves as a condensed document or a guide for node data quality assurance. The FDQP formal model is developed to capture the quality dimensions specified in the data quality profile (DQP). The proposed approach uses federated feature selection to improve classifier precision and rank features based on criteria such as feature value, outlier percentage, and missing data percentage. Extensive experimentation using a fetal dataset split into different edge nodes and a set of scenarios were carefully chosen to evaluate the proposed FDQP model. The results of the experiments demonstrated that the proposed FDQP approach positively improved the DQ, and thus, impacted the accuracy of the federated patient similarity network (FPSN)-based machine learning models. The proposed data-quality-aware federated PSN architecture leveraging FDQP model with data collected from edge nodes can effectively improve the data quality and accuracy of the federated patient similarity network (FPSN)-based machine learning models. Our profiling algorithm used lightweight profile exchange instead of full data processing at the edge, which resulted in optimal data quality achievement, thus improving efficiency. Overall, FDQP is an effective method for assessing data quality in the edge computing environment, and we believe that the proposed approach can be applied to other scenarios beyond patient monitoring
