    Integrated design of run-to-run PID controller and SPC monitoring for process disturbance rejection

    Full text link
    An integrated design methodology has been developed for a run-to-run PID controller and SPC monitoring for the purpose of process disturbance rejection. In the paper, the process disturbance is assumed to be an ARMA (1,1) process. A detailed procedure is developed to design a PID controller which minimizes process variability. The performance of the PID controller is also discussed. A joint monitoring of input and output, using Bonferroni's approach, is then designed for the controlled process. The ARL performance is studied. One major contribution of the paper is to develop a complete procedure and design plots, which serve as tools to conduct all the aforementioned tasks. An example is provided to illustrate the integrated design approach.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/45925/1/10756_2004_Article_236231.pd

    Missing Data Imputation with Graph Laplacian Pyramid Network

    Full text link
    Data imputation is a prevalent and important task due to the ubiquitousness of missing data. Many efforts try to first draft a completed data and second refine to derive the imputation results, or "draft-then-refine" for short. In this work, we analyze this widespread practice from the perspective of Dirichlet energy. We find that a rudimentary "draft" imputation will decrease the Dirichlet energy, thus an energy-maintenance "refine" step is in need to recover the overall energy. Since existing "refine" methods such as Graph Convolutional Network (GCN) tend to cause further energy decline, in this work, we propose a novel framework called Graph Laplacian Pyramid Network (GLPN) to preserve Dirichlet energy and improve imputation performance. GLPN consists of a U-shaped autoencoder and residual networks to capture global and local detailed information respectively. By extensive experiments on several real-world datasets, GLPN shows superior performance over state-of-the-art methods under three different missing mechanisms.

    Correlated Time Series Self-Supervised Representation Learning via Spatiotemporal Bootstrapping

    Full text link
    Correlated time series analysis plays an important role in many real-world industries. Learning an efficient representation of this large-scale data for further downstream tasks is necessary but challenging. In this paper, we propose a time-step-level representation learning framework for individual instances via bootstrapped spatiotemporal representation prediction. We evaluated the effectiveness and flexibility of our representation learning framework on correlated time series forecasting and cold-start transferring the forecasting model to new instances with limited data. A linear regression model trained on top of the learned representations demonstrates our model performs best in most cases. Especially compared to representation learning models, we reduce the RMSE, MAE, and MAPE by 37%, 49%, and 48% on the PeMS-BAY dataset, respectively. Furthermore, in real-world metro passenger flow data, our framework demonstrates the ability to transfer to infer future information of new cold-start instances, with gains of 15%, 19%, and 18%.

    Tensor Completion for Weakly-dependent Data on Graph for Metro Passenger Flow Prediction

    Full text link
    Low-rank tensor decomposition and completion have attracted significant interest from academia given the ubiquity of tensor data. However, the low-rank structure is a global property, which will not be fulfilled when the data presents complex and weak dependencies given specific graph structures. One particular application that motivates this study is the spatiotemporal data analysis. As shown in the preliminary study, weakly dependencies can worsen the low-rank tensor completion performance. In this paper, we propose a novel low-rank CANDECOMP / PARAFAC (CP) tensor decomposition and completion framework by introducing the L1L_{1}-norm penalty and Graph Laplacian penalty to model the weakly dependency on graph. We further propose an efficient optimization algorithm based on the Block Coordinate Descent for efficient estimation. A case study based on the metro passenger flow data in Hong Kong is conducted to demonstrate improved performance over the regular tensor completion methods.Comment: Accepted at AAAI 202

    Choose A Table: Tensor Dirichlet Process Multinomial Mixture Model with Graphs for Passenger Trajectory Clustering

    Full text link
    Passenger clustering based on trajectory records is essential for transportation operators. However, existing methods cannot easily cluster the passengers due to the hierarchical structure of the passenger trip information, including multiple trips within each passenger and multi-dimensional information about each trip. Furthermore, existing approaches rely on an accurate specification of the clustering number to start. Finally, existing methods do not consider spatial semantic graphs such as geographical proximity and functional similarity between the locations. In this paper, we propose a novel tensor Dirichlet Process Multinomial Mixture model with graphs, which can preserve the hierarchical structure of the multi-dimensional trip information and cluster them in a unified one-step manner with the ability to determine the number of clusters automatically. The spatial graphs are utilized in community detection to link the semantic neighbors. We further propose a tensor version of Collapsed Gibbs Sampling method with a minimum cluster size requirement. A case study based on Hong Kong metro passenger data is conducted to demonstrate the automatic process of cluster amount evolution and better cluster quality measured by within-cluster compactness and cross-cluster separateness.

    Impact of Information Sharing on Statistical Quality

    No full text
    on and practice of information sharing is now having a significant impact on many aspects of supply chains. Nevertheless, few investigations focus on the impact of information sharing on product and process quality. Furthermore, it is still not clear how and what information should be shared or used, and how to quantify the benefits of information sharing in terms of quality improvement. In this research, a “matching problem ” is used to demonstrate the impact of information sharing on quality. We quantify and compare the impact of different information-sharing strategies on process and product quality, and suggest that real-time information sharing may lead to dramatic quality improvement for an assembly process, the example here being a two-stage supply chain. The proposed approach to evaluate information sharing in terms of quality improvement can be extended to a more complex supply chain.
