Publication number: 20230297042Abstract: A method of adjusting the inputs to an industrial process, which can be any process such as the chemical, pharmaceutical, food processes and so on, comprising modelling the process output based on the input variables using regression techniques. The method provides for pre-identified variables not to be subjected to the penalty while the other variables may be penalised to zero by the regression techniques. This provides a model which can discriminate between the variables.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2023Publication date: September 21, 2023Inventors: Si-Zhao QIN, Yiren LIU

Publication number: 20230025712Abstract: A stabilization method and mechanism for model structure learning is described. A model is built based on a full data set. The full data set is partitioned into cross validation (CV) folds. A set of model structures of the model are cross validated for each CV fold while penalizing structural deviations from the model to determine CV errors. A model structure is selected from the set of model structures based on a comparison of CV errors with an industrial data set.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 13, 2021Publication date: January 26, 2023Inventors: Si-Zhao QIN, Yiren LIU

Publication number: 20160179599Abstract: A computer-implemented method for reconstructing data includes receiving a selection of one or more input data streams at a data processing framework. The method can include determining existence of a fault in the input data stream(s). This determination can be based on receiving a definition of one or more analytics components at the data processing framework and applying a dynamic principal component analysis (DPCA) to the input data streams. Detection of the fault can be based at least in part on a prediction error and a variation in principal component subspace generated based on the DPCA. Detection of the fault can also be based on performing a wavelet transform to generate a set of coefficients defining the data stream, the set of coefficients including one or more coefficients representing a high frequency portion of data included in the data stream. The method can include reconstructing data at the fault.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 10, 2015Publication date: June 23, 2016Applicants: University of Southern California, Chevron U.S.A.
