A Novel Deep Clustering Method and Indicator for Time Series Soft Partitioning

Résumé

The aerospace industry develops prognosis and health management algorithms to ensure better safety on board, particularly for in-flight controls where jamming is dreaded. For that, vibration signals are monitored to predict future defect occurrences. However, time series are not labeled according to severity level, and the user can only assess the system health from the data mining procedure. To that extent, a clustering algorithm using a deep neural network core is developed. Time series are encoded into pictures to be fed into an artificially trained neural network: U-NET. From the segmented output, one-dimensional information on cluster frontiers is extracted and filtered without any parameter selection. Then, a kernel density estimation finally transforms the signal into an empirical density. Ultimately, a Gaussian mixture model extracts the latter independent components. The method empowered us to reveal different degrees of severity faults in the studied data, with their respective likelihoods, without prior knowledge. It was then compared to state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms. However, internal clustering results evaluation for time series is an open question. As the state-of-the-art indexes were not producing relevant results, a new indicator was built to fulfill this task. We applied the whole method to an actuator consisting of an induction machine linked to a ball screw. This study lays the groundwork for future training of diagnosis and prognosis structures in the health management framework.
