Fault-cause identification plays a significant role in transmission line maintenance and fault disposal. With the increasing types of monitoring data, i.e., micrometeorology and geographic information, multiview learning can be used to realize the information fusion for better fault-cause identification. To reduce the redundant information of different types of monitoring data, in this paper, a hierarchical multiview feature selection (HMVFS) method is proposed to address the challenge of combining waveform and contextual fault features. To enhance the discriminant ability of the model, an ε-dragging technique is introduced to enlarge the boundary between different classes. To effectively select the useful feature subset, two regularization terms, namely l2,1-norm and Frobenius norm penalty, are adopted to conduct the hierarchical feature selection for multiview data. Subsequently, an iterative optimization algorithm is developed to solve our proposed method, and its convergence is theoretically proven. Waveform and contextual features are extracted from yield data and used to evaluate the proposed HMVFS. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the combined used of fault features and reveal the superior performance and application potential of HMVFS.
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.
