  • Patent number: 12658027
    Abstract: False alarms may be mitigated in a Building Management System (BMS). Domain knowledge is received, as are a plurality of alarms. Some alarms are removed based at least in part on the domain knowledge, resulting in a shortlist of potential false alarms. A generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) model is applied to these alarms, simulating a virtual scenario for each alarm while considering the respective alarm as a true alarm. A discriminator AI Model is applied to determine whether the simulated virtual scenario for each alarm is probable or not. When the simulated virtual scenario is determined to be not probable, the respective alarm is classified as a false alarm and when the simulated virtual scenario is determined to be probable, the respective alarm is classified as a true alarm.
