Abstract:Accurate fault diagnosis of rolling element bearings in rotating machinery is considered essential for ensuring industrial safety and enabling predictive maintenance. Conventional statistical feature-based methods rely on predefined descriptors, whose diagnostic sensitivity is constrained by fixed configurations and limited adaptability across varying fault conditions. Although deep learning approaches offer strong representational capacity, their effectiveness is often restricted by high data requirements and reduced interpretability. In this work, a parametric adaptive feature extraction framework is proposed, in which feature characteristics are learned directly from data rather than being manually specified. Multiple complementary representations are extracted from vibration signals, including absolute features capturing signal energy distribution, signed moment features reflecting waveform asymmetry, and AC-coupled moment features emphasizing dynamic fluctuations, while interactions between multiple sensor channels are modeled through a structured fusion mechanism to enhance fault representation. The proposed approach is evaluated on a benchmark gearbox bearing dataset comprising five health conditions, including normal operation and multiple fault types. Improved classification performance is observed compared to conventional methods, with consistent results under cross-validation, indicating strong generalization capability. Additionally, enhanced feature separability is demonstrated through clearer clustering patterns in low-dimensional projections. The learned representations effectively capture a wide range of signal characteristics, supporting both improved diagnostic performance and practical applicability in industrial monitoring systems.



Abstract:Large language models have revolutionized natural language processing with their surprising capability to understand and generate human-like text. However, many of these models inherit and further amplify the biases present in their training data, raising ethical and fairness concerns. The detection and mitigation of such biases are vital to ensuring that LLMs act responsibly and equitably across diverse domains. This work investigates Knowledge Graph-Augmented Training (KGAT) as a novel method to mitigate bias in LLM. Using structured domain-specific knowledge from real-world knowledge graphs, we improve the understanding of the model and reduce biased output. Public datasets for bias assessment include Gender Shades, Bias in Bios, and FairFace, while metrics such as demographic parity and equal opportunity facilitate rigorous detection. We also performed targeted mitigation strategies to correct biased associations, leading to a significant drop in biased output and improved bias metrics. Equipped with real-world datasets and knowledge graphs, our framework is both scalable and effective, paving the way toward responsible deployment in sensitive and high-stakes applications.




Abstract:Disconnected data silos within enterprises obstruct the extraction of actionable insights, diminishing efficiency in areas such as product development, client engagement, meeting preparation, and analytics-driven decision-making. This paper introduces a framework that uses large language models (LLMs) to unify various data sources into a comprehensive, activity-centric knowledge graph. The framework automates tasks such as entity extraction, relationship inference, and semantic enrichment, enabling advanced querying, reasoning, and analytics across data types like emails, calendars, chats, documents, and logs. Designed for enterprise flexibility, it supports applications such as contextual search, task prioritization, expertise discovery, personalized recommendations, and advanced analytics to identify trends and actionable insights. Experimental results demonstrate its success in the discovery of expertise, task management, and data-driven decision making. By integrating LLMs with knowledge graphs, this solution bridges disconnected systems and delivers intelligent analytics-powered enterprise tools.
