Abstract

Increasing volumes of data, referred as big data, require massive scale and complex computing. Artificial intelligence, deep learning, internet of things and cloud computing are proposed for heterogeneous datasets in hierarchical analytics to manage with the volume, variety, velocity and value of the big data. These solutions are not sufficient in technical systems where measurements, waveform signals, spectral data, images and sparse performance indicators require specific methods for the feature extraction before interactions can be properly analysed. In practical applications, the data analysis, knowledge-based methodologies and optimization need to be combined. The solutions require compact calculation units which can be adaptively modified. The artificial intelligence is extended with various methodologies of computational intelligence. The advanced deep learning approach proposed in this paper uses generalized norms in feature generation, nonlinear scaling in developing compact indicators and linear interactions in model-based systems. The intelligent temporal analysis is available for all indices, including for stress, condition and quality indicators. The service and automation solutions combine these data-driven solutions with the domain expertise by using fuzzy logic for case-based systems. The applications are developed gradually in connections, conversion, cyber, cognition and configuration layers. The advanced methodology is based on the integration of features, scaling functions and interaction models specified by parameters. All the sub-systems and different combinations of them can be recursively updated and optimized with evolutionary computing. The systems adapt to the changing operating conditions and provide situation awareness for the risk analysis. The approach supports different levels of the smart adaptive systems.
