Degradation Status Recognition of Axial Piston Pumps under Variable Conditions Based on Improved Information Entropy and Gaussian Mixture Models
Chuanqi Lu, Zhi Zheng, Shaoping Wang
February 22, 2021 (v1)
Keywords: axial piston pump, degradation identification, energy moment entropy, Gaussian mixture model, waveform matching extrema mirror extension EMD
Axial piston pumps are crucial for the safe operation of hydraulic systems and usually work under variable operating conditions. However, deterioration status recognition for such pumps under variable conditions has rarely been reported until now. Therefore, it is valuable to develop effective methods suitable for processing variable conditions. Firstly, considering that information entropy has strong robustness to variable conditions and empirical mode decomposition (EMD) has the advantages of processing nonlinear and nonstationary signals, a new degradation feature parameter, named local instantaneous energy moment entropy, which combines information entropy theory and EMD, is proposed in this paper. To obtain more accurate degradation feature, a waveform matching extrema mirror extension EMD, which is used to suppress the end effects of EMD decomposition, was employed to decompose the original pump’s outlet pressure signals, taking the quasi-periodic characteristics of the signals i...

Keywords: Alzheimer’s disease, diffusion tensor imaging, Machine Learning, magnetic resonance imaging, mild cognitive impairment, support vector machine
Alzheimer’s disease is notoriously the most common cause of dementia in the elderly, affecting an increasing number of people. Although widespread, its causes and progression modalities are complex and still not fully understood. Through neuroimaging techniques, such as diffusion Magnetic Resonance (MR), more sophisticated and specific studies of the disease can be performed, offering a valuable tool for both its diagnosis and early detection. However, processing large quantities of medical images is not an easy task, and researchers have turned their attention towards machine learning, a set of computer algorithms that automatically adapt their output towards the intended goal. In this paper, a systematic review of recent machine learning applications on diffusion tensor imaging studies of Alzheimer’s disease is presented, highlighting the fundamental aspects of each work and reporting their performance score. A few examined studies also include mild cognitive impairment in the classi... [more]

February 22, 2021 (v1)
Keywords: classification, process manufacturing, semi-supervised learning, time-series analysis, yield improvement
Quality management is important for maximizing yield in continuous-flow manufacturing. However, it is more difficult to manage quality in continuous-flow manufacturing than in discrete manufacturing because partial defects can significantly affect the quality of an entire lot of final product. In this paper, a comprehensive framework that consists of three steps is proposed to predict defects and improve yield by using semi-supervised learning, time-series analysis, and classification model. In Step 1, semi-supervised learning using both labeled and unlabeled data is applied to generate quality values. In addition, feature values are predicted in time-series analysis in Step 2. Finally, in Step 3, we predict quality values based on the data obtained in Step 1 and Step 2 and calculate yield values with the use of the predicted value. Compared to a conventional production plan, the suggested plan increases yield by up to 8.7%. The production plan proposed in this study is expected to con... [more]

December 22, 2020 (v1)
Keywords: dense medium separation, LSTM, prediction model, suspension density
In the dense medium separation system of coal preparation plant, the fluctuation of raw coal ash and lag of suspension density adjustment often causes the instability of product quality. To solve this problem, this study established a suspension density prediction model for the dense medium separation system based on Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). First, the historical data in the dense medium separation system of a coal preparation plant were collected and preprocessed. Moving average and cubic exponential smoothing methods were used to replace abnormal data and to fill in the missing data, respectively. Second, a LSTM network was used to construct the density prediction model, and the optimal number of time steps, hidden layers, and nodes was determined. Finally, the model was employed on a testing set for prediction, and a Back-Propagation (BP) network without a time series was used for comparison. Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE) were the minimum when the number of the hidden layers,... [more]

November 9, 2020 (v1)
Keywords: data classification, EEG data, epilepsy, synchronization measures, threshold-based classifier
Objective: Epilepsy is a neurological disorder arising from anomalies of the electrical activity in the brain, affecting ~65 million individuals worldwide. Prediction methods, typically based on machine learning methods, require a large amount of data for training, in order to correctly classify seizures with small false alarm rates. Methods: In this work, we present a new database containing EEG scalp signals of 14 epileptic patients acquired at the Unit of Neurology and Neurophysiology of the University of Siena, Italy. Furthermore, a patient-specific seizure prediction method, based on the detection of synchronization patterns in the EEG, is proposed and tested on the data of the database. The use of noninvasive EEG data aims to explore the possibility of developing a noninvasive monitoring/control device for the prediction of seizures. The prediction method employs synchronization measures computed over all channel pairs and a computationally inexpensive threshold-based classificat... [more]

Keywords: multi-step prediction, NNARX model, SOFC, Taguchi orthogonal array
An accurate performance prediction model for the solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) system not only contributes to the realization of the operating condition but also plays a role in long-term prediction performance. Accordingly, a research study has been developed to suitably deal with the time-series model and accurately build the performance prediction model of SOFC system based on neural network autoregressive with external input (NNARX) method. The architecture regressor parameters of the NNARX model were efficiently determined using the Taguchi orthogonal array (OA) method for optimal sets. The identified and evaluated optimal parameter levels were used to conduct an analysis of variance (ANOVA) to prove correctness. Moreover, a series of statistics criteria and multi-step prediction were also employed for investigating the uncertainty of the predicted model and solve the overfitting and under fitting problems; further. These criteria were also used to determine the performance of the... [more]

Keywords: non-standard groove, path generation algorithm, vision system, welding
As an important form of additive manufacturing, welding is widely used in steel components welding work of construction, shipbuilding and other fields. In this study, an intelligent welding path generation algorithm based on multi-section interpolation is proposed in order to deal with non-standard multi-pass welding grooves which are difficult to be handled by automatic welding equipment in the construction site. Firstly, the non-standard grooves are classified and the reasons for their occurrence are discussed. Secondly, an automatic welding additive manufacturing system framework is discussed and an appropriate detection method is selected. Then, combining with the welding standard of non-standard grooves and the characteristics of the welding process, a multi-section interpolation-based welding path generation algorithm is proposed.

Keywords: Carbon Capture Storage, Machine Learning, Petrophysics
The large scale and complexity of Carbon, Capture, Storage (CCS) projects necessitates time and cost saving strategies to strengthen investment and widespread deployment of this technology. Here, we successfully demonstrate a novel geologic site characterization workflow using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) at the Southeast Regional Carbon Anthropogenic Test in Citronelle, Alabama. The Anthropogenic Test Site occurs within the Citronelle oilfield which contains hundreds of wells with electrical logs that lack critical porosity measurements. Three new test wells were drilled at the injection site and each well was paired with a nearby legacy well containing vintage electrical logs. The test wells were logged for measurements of density porosity and cored over the storage reservoir. An Artificial Neural Network was developed, trained, and validated using patterns recognized between the between vintage electrical logs and modern density porosity measurements at each well pair. The tra... [more]

October 6, 2020 (v1)
Keywords: deep semantic learning, frequent pattern mining, manufacturing process diagnostics, manufacturing process rule, product quality detection
Companies accumulate a large amount of production process data during product manufacturing. Sequence data from the mining production process can enable a company to evaluate the manufacturing process, to find the key factors affecting product quality, and to improve product quality. However, the production process mainly exists in the form of text. To solve this problem, we propose a novel frequent pattern mining algorithm (EABMC) based on the text context semantics and rules of the manufacturing process to remove redundant sequences and to obtain good mining results. In this algorithm, first, we use embeddings from language models (ELMo ) to improve the process of text similarity matching and to classify similar semantic processes into one class. Then, the manufacturing process unit (MPU) is proposed by extracting the characteristics of manufacturing process data according to the constraints of the manufacturing process and other conditions. The above two steps cause the complex manu... [more]

Jorge E. Jiménez-Hornero, Inés María Santos-Dueñas, Isidoro García-García
October 6, 2020 (v1)
Keywords: acetification, artificial neural networks, bioreactor systems, Modelling, multilayer perceptron, vinegar
Modelling techniques allow certain processes to be characterized and optimized without the need for experimentation. One of the crucial steps in vinegar production is the biotransformation of ethanol into acetic acid by acetic bacteria. This step has been extensively studied by using two predictive models: first-principles models and black-box models. The fact that first-principles models are less accurate than black-box models under extreme bacterial growth conditions suggests that the kinetic equations used by the former, and hence their goodness of fit, can be further improved. By contrast, black-box models predict acetic acid production accurately enough under virtually any operating conditions. In this work, we trained black-box models based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) of the multilayer perceptron (MLP) type and containing a single hidden layer to model acetification. The small number of data typically available for a bioprocess makes it rather difficult to identify the m... [more]

Keywords: circulation number, deep learning, DMAIC, eddy waste control, Reynolds number
Deep lean is a novel approach that is concerned with the profound analysis for waste’s behavior at hidden layers in manufacturing processes to enhance processes’ reliability level at the upstream. Ideal Standard Co. for bathtubs suffered from defects and cost losses in the spraying section, due to differences in the painting cover thickness due to bubbles, caused by eddies, which move toward the bathtubs through hoses. These bubbles and their movement are considered as a form of lean’s waste. The spraying liquid inside the tanks and hoses must move with uniform velocity, viscosity, pressure, feed rate and suitable Reynolds circulation values to eliminate the eddy causes. These factors are tackled through the adoption Internet of Things (IoT) technologies that are aided by neural networks (NN) when an abnormal flow rate is detected using sensor data in real-time that can reduce the defects. The NN aimed at forecasting eddies’ movement lines that carry bubbles and works on being blasted... [more]

Keywords: Biomass, biomass power plant, fuel quality, image analysis, Machine Learning, regression modeling
This article focuses on fuel quality in biomass power plants and describes an online prediction method based on image analysis and regression modeling. The main goal is to determine the mixture fraction from blends of two wood chip species with different qualities and properties. Starting from images of both fuels and different mixtures, we used two different approaches to deduce feature vectors. The first one relied on integral brightness values while the latter used spatial texture information. The features were used as input data for linear and non-linear regression models in nine training classes. This permitted the subsequent prediction of mixture ratios from prior unknown similar images. We extensively discuss the influence of model and image selection, parametrization, the application of boosting algorithms and training strategies. We obtained models featuring predictive accuracies of R2 > 0.9 for the brightness-based model and R2 > 0.8 for the texture based one during the valid... [more]

Keywords: bi-directional LSTM, Machine Learning, mitochondrial protein, plasmodium falciparum
Mitochondrial proteins of Plasmodium falciparum (MPPF) are an important target for anti-malarial drugs, but their identification through manual experimentation is costly, and in turn, their related drugs production by pharmaceutical institutions involves a prolonged time duration. Therefore, it is highly desirable for pharmaceutical companies to develop computationally automated and reliable approach to identify proteins precisely, resulting in appropriate drug production in a timely manner. In this direction, several computationally intelligent techniques are developed to extract local features from biological sequences using machine learning methods followed by various classifiers to discriminate the nature of proteins. Unfortunately, these techniques demonstrate poor performance while capturing contextual features from sequence patterns, yielding non-representative classifiers. In this paper, we proposed a sequence-based framework to extract deep and representative features that are... [more]

Keywords: Bayesian inference, CFD modelling, grid-based approach, human fatality dynamic risk, vapour cloud explosions
The reliability of petroleum offshore platform systems affects human safety and well-being; hence, it should be considered in plant design and operation in order to determine its effect on human fatality risk. Methane Vapour Cloud Explosions (VCE) in offshore platforms are known to be one of the fatal potential accidents that can be attributed to failure in plant safety systems. Traditional Quantitative Risk Analysis (QRA) lacks in providing microlevel risk assessment studies and are unable to update risk with the passage of time. This study proposes a grid-based dynamic risk analysis framework for analysing the effect of VCEs on the risk of human fatality in an offshore platform. Flame Acceleration Simulator (FLACS), which is a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software, is used to model VCEs, taking into account different wind and leakage conditions. To estimate the dynamic risk, Bayesian Inference (BI) is utilised using Accident Sequence Precursor (ASP) data. The proposed framework... [more]

Pipelines are like a lifeline that is vital to a nation’s economic sustainability; as such, pipelines need to be monitored to optimize their performance as well as reduce the product losses incurred in the transportation of petroleum chemicals. A significant number of pipes would be underground; it is of immediate concern to identify and analyse the level of corrosion and assess the quality of a pipe. Therefore, this study intends to present the development of an intelligent model that predicts the condition of crude oil pipeline cantered on specific factors such as metal loss anomalies (over length, width and depth), wall thickness, weld anomalies and pressure flow. The model is developed using Feed-Forward Back Propagation Network (FFBPN) based on historical inspection data from oil and gas fields. The model was trained using the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm by changing the number of hidden neurons to achieve promising results in terms of maximum Coefficient of determination (R2) va... [more]
Progressive System: A Deep-Learning Framework for Real-Time Data in Industrial Production
Yifeng Liu, Wei Zhang, Wenhao Du
August 5, 2020 (v1)
Keywords: deep-learning, few-shot learning, image classification, real-time systems
Deep learning based on a large number of high-quality data plays an important role in many industries. However, deep learning is hard to directly embed in the real-time system, because the data accumulation of the system depends on real-time acquisitions. However, the analysis tasks of such systems need to be carried out in real time, which makes it impossible to complete the analysis tasks by accumulating data for a long time. In order to solve the problems of high-quality data accumulation, high timeliness of the data analysis, and difficulty in embedding deep-learning algorithms directly in real-time systems, this paper proposes a new progressive deep-learning framework and conducts experiments on image recognition. The experimental results show that the proposed framework is effective and performs well and can reach a conclusion similar to the deep-learning framework based on large-scale data.

Keywords: classification, deep learning, detection, Machine Learning, metrics, transposable elements
Because of the promising results obtained by machine learning (ML) approaches in several fields, every day is more common, the utilization of ML to solve problems in bioinformatics. In genomics, a current issue is to detect and classify transposable elements (TEs) because of the tedious tasks involved in bioinformatics methods. Thus, ML was recently evaluated for TE datasets, demonstrating better results than bioinformatics applications. A crucial step for ML approaches is the selection of metrics that measure the realistic performance of algorithms. Each metric has specific characteristics and measures properties that may be different from the predicted results. Although the most commonly used way to compare measures is by using empirical analysis, a non-result-based methodology has been proposed, called measure invariance properties. These properties are calculated on the basis of whether a given measure changes its value under certain modifications in the confusion matrix, giving co... [more]

Women’s cancers remain a major challenge for many health systems. Between 1991 and 2017, the death rate for all major cancers fell continuously in the United States, excluding uterine cervix and uterine corpus cancers. Together with HPV (Human Papillomavirus) testing and cytology, colposcopy has played a central role in cervical cancer screening. This medical procedure allows physicians to view the cervix at a magnification of up to 10%. This paper presents an automated colposcopy image analysis framework for the classification of precancerous and cancerous lesions of the uterine cervix. This framework is based on an ensemble of MobileNetV2 networks. Our experimental results show that this method achieves accuracies of 83.33% and 91.66% on the four-class and binary classification tasks, respectively. These results are promising for the future use of automatic classification methods based on deep learning as tools to support medical doctors.

Keywords: Affective Computing, gradient boosting, Machine Learning, personality assessment
Goldberg’s 100 Unipolar Markers remains one of the most popular ways to measure personality traits, in particular, the Big Five. An important reduction was later preformed by Saucier, using a sub-set of 40 markers. Both assessments are performed by presenting a set of markers, or adjectives, to the subject, requesting him to quantify each marker using a 9-point rating scale. Consequently, the goal of this study is to conduct experiments and propose a shorter alternative where the subject is only required to identify which adjectives describe him the most. Hence, a web platform was developed for data collection, requesting subjects to rate each adjective and select those describing him the most. Based on a Gradient Boosting approach, two distinct Machine Learning architectures were conceived, tuned and evaluated. The first makes use of regressors to provide an exact score of the Big Five while the second uses classifiers to provide a binned output. As input, both receive the one-hot enc... [more]

Keywords: classification, condition monitoring, OPTICS, rolling bearing
Bearings are essential components in rotating machines. They ensure the rotation and power transmission. So, these components are essential elements for industrial machines. Thus, real-time monitoring is required to detect a possible anomaly, diagnose the failure of rolling bearing and follow its evolution. This paper presents a methodology for automatic online implementation of fault diagnosis of rolling bearings, by AOC-OPTICS (automatic online classification monitoring based on ordering points to identify clustering structure, OPTICS). The algorithm consists of three phases namely: initialization, detection and follow-up. These phases use the combination of features extraction methods, smart ranking, features weighting and classification by the OPTICS method. Two methods have been integrated in the dimension reduction step to improve the efficiency of detection and the followed of the defect (relief method and t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding method). Thus, the determinat... [more]

The structure of mixed microbial cultures—such as the human gut microbiota—is influenced by a complex interplay of interactions among its community members. The objective of this study was to propose a strategy to characterize microbial interactions between particular members of the community occurring in a simulator of the human gastrointestinal tract used as the experimental system. Four runs were carried out separately in the simulator: two of them were fed with a normal diet (control system), and two more had the same diet supplemented with agave fructans (fructan-supplemented system). The growth kinetics of Lactobacillus spp., Bifidobacterium spp., Salmonella spp., and Clostridium spp. were assessed in the different colon sections of the simulator for a nine-day period. The time series of microbial concentrations were used to estimate specific growth rates and pair-wise interaction coefficients as considered by the generalized Lotka-Volterra (gLV) model. A differential neural netw... [more]
