Cross-Machine Anomaly Detection Leveraging Pre-trained Time-series Model

Achieving resilient and high-quality manufacturing requires reliable data-driven anomaly detection methods that are capable of addressing differences in behaviors among different individual machines which are nominally the same and are executing the same processes. To address the problem of detecting anomalies in a machine using sensory data gathered from different individual machines executing the same procedure, this paper proposes a cross-machine time-series anomaly detection framework that integrates a domain-invariant feature extractor with an unsupervised anomaly detection module. Leveraging the pre-trained foundation model MOMENT, the extractor employs Random Forest Classifiers to disentangle embeddings into machine-related and condition-related features, with the latter serving as representations which are invariant to differences between individual machines. These refined features enable the downstream anomaly detectors to generalize effectively to unseen target machines. Experiments on an industrial dataset collected from three different machines performing nominally the same operation demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms both the raw-signal-based and MOMENT-embedding feature baselines, confirming its effectiveness in enhancing cross-machine generalization.

Violina: Various-of-trajectories Identification of Linear Time-invariant Non-Markovian Dynamics

We propose a new system identification method Violina (various-of-trajectories identification of linear time-invariant non-Markovian dynamics). In the Violina framework, we optimize the coefficient matrices of state-space model and memory kernel in the given space using a projected gradient descent method so that its model prediction matches the set of multiple observed data. Using Violina we can identify a linear non-Markovian dynamical system with constraints corresponding to a priori knowledge on the model parameters and memory effects. Using synthetic data, we numerically demonstrate that the Markovian and non-Markovian state-space models identified by the proposed method have considerably better generalization performances compared to the models identified by an existing dynamic decomposition-based method.
