A new contextual based feature selection.

International audienceThe pre processing phase is essential in Knowledge Data Discovery process. We study too particularly the data filtering in supervised context, and more precisely the feature selection. Our objective is to permit a better use of the data set. Most of filtering use myopic measures, and give bad results in the case of the features correlated part by part. Consequently in the first time, we build two new contextual criteria. In the second par, we introduce those criteria in an algorithm similar to the greedy algorithm. The algorithm is tested on a set of benchmarks and the results were compared with five reference algorithms : Relief, CFS, Wrapper (C4.5), consistancySubsetEval and GainRatio. Our experiments have shown its ability to detect the semi-correlated features. We conduct extensive experiments by using our algorithm like pre processing data for decision tree, nearest neighbours and Naïve Bays classifiers

Extraction de règles d'ordonnancement : Aide au paramétrage d'un progiciel d'ordonnancement.

International audienceConditions complexity of management workshop of production manufacturing increases and requires heuristic algorithm adapted to the context. The principal difficulty then lies in the choice of heuristic algorithm to apply. We propose a help method to schedule, and more specifically a parameter setting up's help of an industrial scheduling software, being based on machine learning system able to extract knowledge from data. An inductive learning based on examples system is developed and replaced in a process of ECD (Extraction of Knowledge starting from Data). The first step pf this process is specific to our problem and uses in this case the capacities of simulation of a market software of scheduling

Case elaboration methodology proposed for diagnostic and repair help system based on CBR.

International audienceAlthough the elaboration of the case representation is the key problem of the case-based reasoning system conception there is no proved methodology targeted to this task for now. This paper deals with this lack in the maintenance domain precisely in the equipments diagnostic and repair help. A methodology of the case representation elaboration is proposed based on knowledge management techniques and existing engineering analytical tools used in the industry. Different ontological models are proposed to take into account similarity and adaptability aspects of the case representation and to optimize the case base size

Evolving class for SVM's incremental learning.

International audienceThe good generalization performance of support vector machines (SVM) has made them a popular tool in artificial intelligence community. In this paper, we prove that SVM multi class algorithms are not equivalent for all classification problems we present a new approach for incremental learning using SVM that create a rejection class which would be interesting for fault diagnosis where fault classes usually evolve with time : It is when some new samples may be rejected by all the current classes. Hence, these samples may correspond to a new fault (a new class) which may appear after the first training step

Classification des différentes architectures en maintenance.

L'objectif de ce papier est de lister et caractériser différents systèmes informatiques existants dans le domaine de la maintenance industrielle afin de proposer une classification des différentes architectures de ces systèmes. Deux critères de cette classification s'imposent : l'évolution de l'information utilisée et la relation entre les systèmes intégrés dans les architectures. Quatre architectures génériques sont identifiées, à savoir maintenance, télémaintenance, e-maintenance et s-maintenance. Le type d'architecture de maintenance sémantique : la s-maintenance est proposée prenant appui sur des ontologies communes aux différents systèmes et sur la technologie émergente du Web sémantique. Ce nouveau concept représente une architecture adaptée aux besoins d'intégrer les différents systèmes d'aide aux opérateurs et aux experts de maintenance et ouvre également la possibilité d'utiliser les techniques de gestion des connaissances dans ces systèmes

Reutilization of diagnostic cases by adaptation of knowledge models.

International audienceThis paper deals with design of knowledge oriented diagnostic system. Two challenges are addressed. The first one concerns the elicitation of expert practice and the proposition of a methodology for developing four knowledge containers of case based reasoning system. The second one concerns the proposition of a general adaptation phase to reuse case solving diagnostic problems in a different context. In most cases, adaptation methods are application-specific and the challenge in this work is to make a general adaptation method for the field of industrial diagnostics applications. This paper is a contribution to fill this gap in the field of fault diagnostic and repair assistance of equipment. The proposed adaptation algorithm relies on hierarchy descriptors, an implied context model and dependencies between problems and solutions of the source cases. In addition, one can note that the first retrieved case is not necessarily the most adaptable case, and to take into account this report, an adaptation-guided retrieval step based on a similarity measure associated with an adaptation measure is realized on the diagnostic problem. These two measures allow selecting the most adaptable case among the retrieved cases. The two retrieval and adaptation phases are applied on real industrial system called Supervised industrial system of Transfer of pallets (SISTRE)

A methodology to conceive a case based system of industrial diagnosis.

International audienceThe objective of this paper is to address the diagnosis knowledge-oriented system in terms of artificial intelligence, particular by the Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) approach. Indeed, the use of CBR, which is an approach to problem solving and learning, in diagnosis goes back to a long time with the appearance of diagnostic support systems based on CBR. A diagnostic system by CBR implements an expertise-base composed of past experiences through which the origins of failure and the maintenance strategy are given according to a description of a specific situation of diagnostic. A study is made on the different diagnostic systems based on CBR. This study showed that there was no common methodology for building a CBR system. This design depends primarily on the case representation and knowledge models of the domain application. Consequently, this paper proposes a general design approach of a diagnostic system based on the CBR approach

Case Base Maintenance Approach.

International audienceCase base Maintenance is an active Case Based Reasoning research area. The main stream focuses on the method for reducing the size of the case-base while maintaining case-base competence. This paper gives an overview of these works, and proposes a case deletion strategy based on competence criteria using a novel approach. The proposed method, even if inspired from existing literature, combines an algorithm with a Competence Metric (CM). A series of tests are conducted using two standards data-sets as well as a locally constructed one, on which, three Case Base Maintenance approaches were tested. This experimental study shows how this technique compares favourably to more traditional strategies across two standard data-sets

Towards a maintenance semantic architecture.

International audienceTechnological and software progress with the evolution of processes within company have highlighted the need to evolve systems of maintenance process from autonomous systems to cooperative and sharing information system based on software platform. However, this need gives rise to various maintenance platforms. The first part of this study investigates the different types of existing industrial platforms and characterizes them compared to two criteria namely : information exchange and relationship intensity. This allowed identifying the e-maintenance architecture as the current most efficient architecture. despite its effectiveness, this latter can only guarantee technical interoperability between various components. Therefore, the second part of this study proposes a semantic-knowledge based architecture, thereby ensuring a higher level of semantic interoperability. To this end, specific maintenance ontology has been developed

A formal ontology for industrial maintenance

International audienceThe rapid advancement of information and communication technologies has resulted in a variety of maintenance support systems and tools covering all sub-domains of maintenance. Most of these systems are based on different models that are sometimes redundant or incoherent and always heterogeneous. This problem has lead to the development of maintenance platforms integrating all of these support systems. The main problem confronted by these integration platforms is to provide semantic interoperability between different applications within the same environment. In this aim, we have developed an ontology for the field of industrial maintenance, adopting the METHONTOLOGY approach to manage the life cycle development of this ontology, that we have called IMAMO (Industrial MAintenance Management Ontology). This ontology can be used not only to ensure semantic interoperability but also to generate new knowledge that supports decision making in the maintenance process. This paper provides and discusses some tests so as to evaluate the ontology and to show how it can ensure semantic interoperability and generate new knowledge within the platform
