Ensemble enhanced active learning mixture discriminant analysis model and its application for semi-supervised fault classification

Abstract

As an indispensable part of process monitoring, the performance of fault classification relies heavily on the sufficiency of process knowledge. However, data labels are always difficult to acquire because of the limited sampling condition or expensive laboratory analysis, which may lead to deterioration of classification performance. To handle this dilemma, a new semi-supervised fault classification strategy is performed in which enhanced active learning is employed to evaluate the value of each unlabeled sample with respect to a specific labeled dataset. Unlabeled samples with large values will serve as supplementary information for the training dataset. In addition, we introduce several reasonable indexes and criteria, and thus human labeling interference is greatly reduced. Finally, the fault classification effectiveness of the proposed method is evaluated using a numerical example and the Tennessee Eastman process.
