- Abstract: Inclinometer probes are devices that can be used to measure deformations
within earthwork slopes. This paper demonstrates a novel application of
Bayesian techniques to real-world inclinometer data, providing both anomaly
detection and forecasting. Specifically, this paper details an analysis of data
collected from inclinometer data across the entire UK rail network.
Practitioners have effectively two goals when processing monitoring data. The
first is to identify any anomalous or dangerous movements, and the second is to
predict potential future adverse scenarios by forecasting. In this paper we
apply Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) techniques by implementing a Bayesian
approach to anomaly detection and forecasting for inclinometer data.
Subsequently, both costs and risks may be minimised by quantifying and
evaluating the appropriate uncertainties. This framework may then act as an
enabler for enhanced decision making and risk analysis.
We show that inclinometer data can be described by a latent autocorrelated
Markov process derived from measurements. This can be used as the transition
model of a non-linear Bayesian filter. This allows for the prediction of system
states. This learnt latent model also allows for the detection of anomalies:
observations that are far from their expected value may be considered to have
`high surprisal', that is they have a high information content relative to the
model encoding represented by the learnt latent model.
We successfully apply the forecasting and anomaly detection techniques to a
large real-world data set in a computationally efficient manner. Although this
paper studies inclinometers in particular, the techniques are broadly
applicable to all areas of engineering UQ and Structural Health Monitoring
(SHM).

Neural networks have proven successful at learning from complex data distributions by acting as universal function approximators.
They are often overconfident in their predictions, which leads to inaccurate and miscalibrated probabilistic predictions.
We propose a solution by seeking out regions of feature space where the model is unjustifiably overconfident, and conditionally raising the entropy of those predictions towards that of the prior distribution of the labels.
