Over the recent years, Industry 4.0 (I4.0) technologies such as the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and the presence of Industrial Big Data (IBD) have helped achieve intelligent Fault Detection (FD) in manufacturing. Notably, data-driven approaches in FD apply Deep Learning (DL) techniques to help generate insights required for monitoring complex manufacturing processes. However, due to the ratio of instances where actual faults occur, FD datasets tend to be imbalanced, leading to training challenges that result in inefficient DL-based FD models. In this paper, we propose Dual Logits Weights Perturbation (DLWP) loss, a method featuring weight vectors for improved dataset generalization in FD systems. The weight vectors act as hyperparameters adjusted on a case-by-case basis to regulate focus accorded to individual minority classes during training. In particular, our proposed method is suitable for imbalanced datasets from safety-related FD tasks as it generates DL models that minimize false negatives. Subsequently, we integrate human experts into the workflow as a strategy to help safeguard the system. A subset of the results, model predictions with uncertainties exceeding a preset threshold, are considered a preliminary output subject to cross-checking by human experts. We demonstrate that DLWP achieves improved Recall, AUC, F1 scores.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
