• Abstract: Accurate fault detection in high-dimensional industrial environments remains a major challenge due to the inherent complexity, noise, and redundancy in sensor data. This paper introduces CLAIRE, i.e., a hybrid end-to-end learning framework that integrates unsupervised deep representation learning with supervised classification for intelligent quality control in smart manufacturing systems. It employs an optimized deep autoencoder to transform raw input into a compact latent space, effectively capturing the intrinsic data structure while suppressing irrelevant or noisy features. The learned representations are then fed into a downstream classifier to perform binary fault prediction. Experimental results on a high-dimensional dataset demonstrate that CLAIRE significantly outperforms conventional classifiers trained directly on raw features. Moreover, the framework incorporates a post hoc phase, using a game-theory-based interpretability technique, to analyze the latent space and identify the most informative input features contributing to fault predictions. The proposed framework highlights the potential of integrating explainable AI with feature-aware regularization for robust fault detection. The modular and interpretable nature of the proposed framework makes it highly adaptable, offering promising applications in other domains characterized by complex, high-dimensional data, such as healthcare, finance, and environmental monitoring.

• Representation Learning for Sequence Data with Deep Autoencoding Predictive Components [96.42805872177067]
  We propose a self-supervised representation learning method for sequence data, based on the intuition that useful representations of sequence data should exhibit a simple structure in the latent space. We encourage this latent structure by maximizing an estimate of predictive information of latent feature sequences, which is the mutual information between past and future windows at each time step. We demonstrate that our method recovers the latent space of noisy dynamical systems, extracts predictive features for forecasting tasks, and improves automatic speech recognition when used to pretrain the encoder on large amounts of unlabeled data.
