• Abstract: The ability to detect when a system undergoes an incipient fault is of paramount importance in preventing a critical failure. In this work, we propose an information-driven fault detection method based on a novel concept drift detector. The method is tailored to identifying drifts in input-output relationships of additive noise models (i.e., model drifts) and is based on a distribution-free mutual information (MI) estimator. Our scheme does not require prior faulty examples and can be applied distribution-free over a large class of system models. Our core contributions are twofold. First, we demonstrate the connection between fault detection, model drift detection, and testing independence between two random variables. Second, we prove several theoretical properties of the proposed MI-based fault detection scheme: (i) strong consistency, (ii) exponentially fast detection of the non-faulty case, and (iii) control of both significance levels and power of the test. To conclude, we validate our theory with synthetic data and the benchmark dataset N-CMAPSS of aircraft turbofan engines. These empirical results support the usefulness of our methodology in many practical and realistic settings, and the theoretical results show performance guarantees that other methods cannot offer.

  This work presents a novel real concept drift detection method based on Neighbor-Searching Discrepancy. The proposed method is able to detect real concept drift with high accuracy while ignoring virtual drift. It can also indicate the direction of the classification boundary change by identifying the invasion or retreat of a certain class.

  In this study, we compare two residual-based approaches to detect faults in industrial systems. The performance evaluation focuses on three tasks: health indicator construction, fault detection, and health indicator interpretation. The detection results reveal that both models are capable of detecting faults with an average delay of around 20 cycles and maintain a low false positive rate.

  Missing values, widely called as textitsparsity in literature, is a common characteristic of many real-world datasets. We study different patterns of missing values, various statistical and ML based data imputation methods for different kinds of sparsity. We then select the best concept drift detector given a dataset with missing values based on the different metrics.

• Causality-Based Multivariate Time Series Anomaly Detection [63.799474860969156]
  We formulate the anomaly detection problem from a causal perspective and view anomalies as instances that do not follow the regular causal mechanism to generate the multivariate data. We then propose a causality-based anomaly detection approach, which first learns the causal structure from data and then infers whether an instance is an anomaly relative to the local causal mechanism. We evaluate our approach with both simulated and public datasets as well as a case study on real-world AIOps applications.
