TRACE: Time series representation learning with contrastive embeddings for anomaly detection in photovoltaic systems.Nivarthi, Chandana Priya; Huang, Zhixin; Gruhl, Christian; Sick, Bernhard. In Energy and AI, 23, bl 100670. Elsevier, 2026.

Reliable anomaly detection in photovoltaic (PV) inverters is critical for ensuring operational efficiency and reducing maintenance costs in renewable energy systems. We introduce TRACE (Time series Representation learning with Autoencoder-based Contrastive Embeddings), a self-supervised contrastive learning framework for multivariate time series anomaly detection in PV systems. TRACE employs a two-stage architecture: autoencoder-based representation learning with interchangeable backbones followed by contrastive training through a Siamese network. The framework generates semantically coherent augmentations by perturbing autoencoder reconstructions and applies three negative mining strategies to create challenging contrastive pairs. Comprehensive experiments on a real-world PV inverter dataset and two industrial benchmarks demonstrate TRACE’s superiority. Autoencoder-based augmentations deliver a 21.3% relative improvement in mean F1 (0.616 vs. 0.508) over traditional perturbation methods, with TransformerAE emerging as the optimal backbone architecture. While negative sampling strategies show dataset-specific advantages, their impact remains secondary to encoder capacity. TRACE with TransformerAE and reconstruction-error negatives consistently outperforms fourteen state-of-the-art time series anomaly detection methods, achieving highest F1 scores on all the three datasets while maintaining exceptional precision up to 0.99. Visualization analysis confirms TRACE’s capacity for early fault detection up to three days before failure and interpretable embedding separation. The framework addresses the fundamental challenge of label scarcity in industrial monitoring through self-supervised learning, providing a practical and transparent solution for predictive maintenance in PV systems and broader industrial applications.

Learning Topology Actions for Power Grid Control: A Graph-Based Soft-Label Imitation Learning Approach.Hassouna, Mohamed; Holzhüter, Clara; Lehna, Malte; de Jong, Matthijs; Viebahn, Jan; Sick, Bernhard; Scholz, Christoph.

The rising proportion of renewable energy in the electricity mix introduces significant operational challenges for power grid operators. Effective power grid management demands adaptive decision-making strategies capable of handling dynamic conditions. With the increase in complexity, more and more Deep Learning (DL) approaches have been proposed to find suitable grid topologies for congestion management. In this work, we contribute to this research by introducing a novel Imitation Learning (IL) approach that leverages soft labels derived from simulated topological action outcomes, thereby capturing multiple viable actions per state. Unlike traditional IL methods that rely on hard labels to enforce a single optimal action, our method constructs soft labels that capture the effectiveness of actions that prove suitable in resolving grid congestion. To further enhance decision-making, we integrate Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) to encode the structural properties of power grids, ensuring that the topology-aware representations contribute to better agent performance. Our approach significantly outperforms its hard-label counterparts as well as state-of-the-art Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) baseline agents. Most notably, it achieves a 17% better performance compared to the greedy expert agent from which the imitation targets were derived.

Offset Finding of Beamline Parameters on the METRIXS Beamline at BESSY II Using Machine Learning.Meier, David; Zeschke, Thomas; Feuer-Forson, Peter; Sick, Bernhard; Viefhaus, Jens; Hartmann, Gregor. In Journal of Physics: Conference Series, bl 012130. IOP Publishing, 2025.

Beamline alignment is challenging as the beamline components must be set up ideally so that the rays follow the desired optical path. Automated methods using a digital twin allow for faster diagnostics and improved beam properties compared to manual tuning. We introduce an automated method of finding the offsets to improve this digital twin model. These offsets represent the unknown but constant differences between the beamline parameter positions as set up at the physical beamline and the corresponding parameter positions of its digital twin. Our method assumes the capability to execute precise relative movements with a known step size for these parameters, although the absolute position information is unknown. By combining the surrogate model with a global optimizer, we successfully determine offsets for 34 beamline parameters on a simulated METRIXS beamline at the BESSY II synchrotron radiation source in Berlin.

Towards Cognitive Situational Awareness in Maritime Traffic Using Federated Evidential Learning.Gao, Shang; Huang, Zhixin; Al-Falouji, Ghassan; Sick, Bernhard; Tomforde, Sven. In IEEE Conference on Cognitive and Computational Aspects of Situation Management (CogSIMA), bll 9–16. IEEE, 2025.

The increasing complexity of maritime navigation and the shift towards (semi)autonomous systems necessitate enhanced situational awareness (SA) to ensure maritime safety. This transition introduces new requirements for situation mod- elling and SA, particularly in busy waterways. To address these challenges, we present the Federated Evidential Learning for Anomaly Detection of Ship Trajectories (FEAST) framework, which integrates Federated Learning and Evidential Learning to provide a privacy-preserving, collaborative, and uncertainty- aware approach to out-of-distribution (OOD) anomaly detection in maritime traffic. FEAST uses data from the Automatic Identification System from the Kiel region, Germany, which exhibits unique characteristics of dynamic and heterogeneous maritime activity due to its connection with the traffic-dense Kiel Canal. Our extensive evaluations demonstrate that FEAST improves OOD anomaly detection by leveraging epistemic and aleatoric uncertainty estimates, outperforming baseline methods such as Denoise AutoEncoders and Variational AutoEncoders. Consequently, FEAST forms a solution to reliable and inter- pretable maritime traffic anomaly detection, supporting enhanced SA in maritime operations.

Reconstructing time-of-flight detector values of angular streaking using machine learning.Meier, David; Viefhaus, Jens; Hartmann, Gregor; Helml, Wolfram; Otto, Thorsten; Sick, Bernhard. In Physical Review Accelerators and Beams, 28(7), bl 074601. American Physical Society, 2025.

Angular streaking experiments enable for experimentation in the attosecond regions. However, the deployed time-of-flight (TOF) detectors are susceptible to noise and failure. These shortcomings make the outputs of the TOF detectors hard to understand for humans and further processing, such as, for example, the extraction of beam properties. In this article, we present an approach to remove high noise levels and reconstruct up to three failed TOF detectors from an arrangement of 16 TOF detectors. Due to its fast evaluation time, the presented method is applicable online during a running experiment. It is trained with simulation data, and we show the results of denoising and reconstruction of our method on real-world experiment data.

Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have become essential for learning from graph-structured data. However, existing GNNs do not consider the conservation law inherent in graphs associated with a flow of physical resources, such as electrical current in power grids or traffic in transportation networks, which can lead to reduced model performance. To address this, we propose flow attention, which adapts existing graph attention mechanisms to satisfy Kirchhoff’s first law. Furthermore, we discuss how this modification influences the expressivity and identify sets of non-isomorphic graphs that can be discriminated by flow attention but not by standard attention. Through extensive experiments on two flow graph datasets (electronic circuits and power grids), we demonstrate that flow attention enhances the performance of attention-based GNNs on both graph-level classification and regression tasks.

Federated Learning (FL) has demonstrated promise for collaborative training on decentralized data while preserving privacy. However, applying FL to object detection remains challenging due to non-IID data distributions and domain shifts that can degrade performance with standard aggregation methods. To address these issues, we propose the Uncertainty Incorporated Federated Learning for Object Detection (Unify) framework, a novel FL framework that leverages Evidential Learning (EL) to estimate both epistemic and aleatoric uncertainties. By integrating these uncertainty estimates into the aggregation process, Unify down-weights unreliable client updates, leading to improved cross-domain generalization and enhanced stability. Built upon a lightweight YOLOX detector, our approach achieves detection performance that closely approaches centralized training while significantly outperforming conventional FedAvg under heterogeneous conditions. Evaluations on the KITTI and nuImages datasets demonstrate that Unify improves mean Average Precision (mAP) and yields uncertainties. The findings highlight the potential of uncertainty-incorporated FL in developing resilient, adaptive, and self-organizing computing systems.

Data selection strategies for minimizing measurement time in materials characterization.Liehr, Alexander; Dingel, Kristina; Kottke, Daniel; Degener, Sebastian; Meier, David; Sick, Bernhard; Niendorf, Thomas. In Scientific Reports, 15(1), bl 15182. Springer Nature, 2025.

Every new material needs to be assessed and qualified for an envisaged application. A steadily increasing number of new alloys, designed to address challenges in terms of reliability and sustainability, poses significant demands on well-known analysis methods in terms of their efficiency, e.g., in X-ray diffraction analysis. Particularly in laboratory measurements, where the intensities in diffraction experiments tend to be low, a possibility to adapt the exposure time to the prevailing boundary conditions, i.e., the investigated microstructure, is seen to be a very effective approach. The counting time is decisive for, e.g., complex texture, phase, and residual stress measurements. Traditionally, more measurement points and, thus, longer data collection times lead to more accurate information. Here, too short counting times result in poor signal-to-background ratios and dominant signal noise, respectively, rendering subsequent evaluation more difficult or even impossible. Then, it is necessary to repeat experiments with adjusted, usually significantly longer counting time. To prevent redundant measurements, it is state-of-the-art to always consider the entire measurement range, regardless of whether the investigated points are relevant and contribute to the subsequent materials characterization, respectively. Obviously, this kind of approach is extremely time-consuming and, eventually, not efficient. The present study highlights that specific selection strategies, taking into account the prevailing microstructure of the alloy in focus, can decrease counting times in X-ray energy dispersive diffraction experiments without any detrimental effect on data quality for the subsequent analysis. All relevant data, including the code, are carefully assessed and will be the basis for a widely adapted strategy enabling efficient measurements not only in lab environments but also in large-scale facilities.

A steadily increasing number of new alloys, designed to address challenges in terms of reliability and sustainability, poses significant demands on well-known analysis methods in terms of their efficiency, e.g., in X-ray diffraction analysis. Particularly in laboratory measurements, where the intensities in diffraction experiments tend to be low, a possibility to adapt the exposure time to the prevailing boundary conditions, i.e., the investigated microstructure, is seen to be a very effective approach. The counting time is decisive for, e.g., complex texture, phase, and residual stress measurements. Traditionally, more measurement points and, thus, longer data collection times lead to more accurate information. Here, too short counting times result in poor signal-to-background ratios and dominant signal noise, respectively, rendering subsequent evaluation more difficult or even impossible. Then, it is necessary to repeat experiments with adjusted, usually significantly longer counting time. To prevent redundant measurements, it is state-of-the-art to always consider the entire measurement range, regardless of whether the investigated points are relevant and contribute to the subsequent materials characterization, respectively. Obviously, this kind of approach is extremely time-consuming and, eventually, not efficient. The present study highlights that specific selection strategies, taking into account the prevailing microstructure of the alloy in focus, can decrease counting times in X-ray energy dispersive diffraction experiments without any detrimental effect on data quality for the subsequent analysis. All relevant data, including the code, are carefully assessed and will be the basis for a widely adapted strategy enabling efficient measurements not only in lab environments but also in large-scale facilities.

Deep active learning (AL) selects batches of instances for annotation to avoid retraining deep neural networks (DNNs) after each new label. Employing a naive top-b selection can result in a batch of redundant (similar) instances. To address this, various AL strategies employ clustering techniques that ensure diversity within a batch. We approach this issue by substituting the costly retraining with an efficient Bayesian update. Our proposed update represents a second-order optimization step using the Gaussian posterior from a last-layer Laplace approximation. Thereby, we achieve low computational complexity by computing the inverse Hessian in closed form. We demonstrate that in typical AL settings, our update closely approximates retraining while being considerably faster. Leveraging our update, we introduce a new framework for batch selection through sequential construction, updating the DNN after each label acquisition. Furthermore, we incorporate our update into a look-ahead selection strategy as a feasible upper baseline approximating optimal batch selection. Our results highlight the potential of efficient updates to advance deep AL research.

Electrification of vehicles is a potential way of reducing fossil fuel usage and thus lessening environmental pollution. Electric Vehicles (EVs) of various types for different transport modes (including air, water, and land) are evolving. Moreover, different EV user groups (commuters, commercial or domestic users, drivers) may use different charging infrastructures (public, private, home, and workplace) at various times. Therefore, usage patterns and energy demand are very stochastic. Characterizing and forecasting the charging demand of these diverse EV usage profiles is essential in preventing power outages. Previously developed data-driven load models are limited to specific use cases and locations. None of these models are simultaneously adaptive enough to transfer knowledge of day-ahead forecasting among EV charging sites of diverse locations, trained with limited data, and cost-effective. This article presents a location-based load forecasting of EV charging sites using a deep Multi-Quantile Temporal Convolutional Network (MQ-TCN) to overcome the limitations of earlier models. We conducted our experiments on data from four charging sites, namely Caltech, JPL, Office-1, and NREL, which have diverse EV user types like students, full-time and part-time employees, random visitors, etc. With a Prediction Interval Coverage Probability (PICP) score of 93.62%, our proposed deep MQ-TCN model exhibited a remarkable 28.93% improvement over the XGBoost model for a day-ahead load forecasting at the JPL charging site. By transferring knowledge with the inductive Transfer Learning (TL) approach, the MQ-TCN model achieved a 96.88% PICP score for the load forecasting task at the NREL site using only two weeks of data.

The design and optimization of Printed Circuit Board (PCB) schematics is crucial for the development of high-quality electronic devices. Thereby, an important task is to optimize drafts by adding components that improve the robustness and reliability of the circuit, e.g., pull-up resistors or decoupling capacitors. Since there is a shortage of skilled engineers and manual optimizations are very time-consuming, these best practices are often neglected. However, this typically leads to higher costs for troubleshooting in later development stages as well as shortened product life cycles, resulting in an increased amount of electronic waste that is difficult to recycle. Here, we present an approach for automating the addition of new components into PCB schematics by representing them as bipartite graphs and utilizing a node pair prediction model based on Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). We apply our approach to three highly relevant PCB design optimization tasks and compare the performance of several popular GNN architectures on realworld datasets labeled by human experts. We show that GNNs can solve these problems with high accuracy and demonstrate that our approach offers the potential to automate PCB design optimizations in a timeand cost-efficient manner.

Improving Fast 6D Pose Estimation with Adaptive Model Fusion.Hubert, Andreas; Guo, Chenxi; Doll, Konrad; Sick, Bernhard. In International Conference on Machine Learning and Intelligent Systems Engineering (MLISE), bll 58–63. IEEE, 2025.

Object tracking in manual assembly cells presents unique challenges due to the wide variation in motion speeds, ranging from slow, precise movements to rapid changes of direction. Traditional tracking models face a fundamental trade-off: models specialized for slow motion achieve high accuracy at low speeds but fail at higher velocities, while fast-motion models track rapid movements effectively but lose precision for slow moving objects. To address this limitation, we propose an Adaptive Fusion Tracker (AFT) approach that combines a Slow Motion Tracker (SMT) and a Fast Motion Tracker (FMT) to improve tracking robustness across diverse motion ranges. Our experimental evaluation demonstrates that AFT configurations, fusing SMT and FMT results, enhance performance beyond the individual models' operational limits. Among them, AFT with averages the results by weight consistently achieves the highest tracking accuracy, doubling the performance for certain tracking motion speeds, while a state-based AFT offers a computationally efficient alternative. These findings suggest that adaptive fusion extends the effective operational range of tracking models, making them more reliable for real-world applications.

Deep active learning (DAL) provides a promising framework for reducing labeling costs for data-hungry deep neural networks. In DAL research, experiments are evaluated based on the performance of the model that is responsible for querying data, which can be interpreted as a model-centric evaluation. However, the data queried by DAL should be model agnostic so that new models can be effectively trained on it. An example can be derived from the rapid progress in deep learning, where new architectures are proposed in quick succession. Naturally, we want to employ these new and more effective models while still using the queried data from DAL. This results in the need to ensure high performance for both current and future models, which we refer to as reusability. In line with this topic, we propose general reusability, a novel, data-centric evaluation metric that measures the long-term value of queried data. Our experiments demonstrate that the current evaluation protocol in DAL research does not assess the reusability of data and that GR can fill this gap.

Classical contrastive learning paradigms rely on manual augmentations like cropping, masking, dropping, or adding noise randomly to create divergent sample views from original data. However, the choice of which method to manipulate samples is often subjective and may destroy the latent pattern of the sample. In response, this paper introduces a novel contrastive learning paradigm without choosing sample view augmentation methods, termed Heterogeneous Spatial-Temporal Representation Contrasting (HSTRC). Instead of sample view augmentation, we employ dual branches with a heterogeneous spatial-temporal flipped structure to extract two distinct hidden feature views from the same source data, which avoids disturbing the original time series. Leveraging a combination of cross-branch spatial-temporal contrastive and projected feature contrastive loss functions, HSTRC can effectively extract robust representations from unlabeled time series data. Remarkably, by only fine-tuning the fully connected layers on top of extracted representations by HSTRC, we achieve the best performance across several Remaining Useful Life prediction datasets, showing up to 19.2% improvements over the state-of-the-art supervised learning methods and classical contrastive learning paradigms. Besides, further intensive experiments demonstrate HSTRC's effectiveness in active learning, out-of-distribution testing, and transfer learning scenarios.

Anomaly detection methods applied to time series are mostly viewed as a black box, which solely provides a deterministic answer to the detected target. Without a convincing explanation, domain experts can hardly trust the detection results and conduct a further time series diagnosis in real-world applications. To overcome the challenge, we mathematically analyzed the sources of anomalies and novelties in multivariate time series as well as their relationships from the perspective of Gaussian-distributed non-stationary noise. Furthermore, we proposed mathematical methods to generate artificial time series and synthetic anomalies, with the goal of solving the problem that it is difficult to train and evaluate models in real-world applications due to the lack of sufficient data. In addition, we designed extbfProbabilistic extbfOutlier extbfDetection (PrOuD), which is a general solution to provide interpretable detection results to assist domain experts in time series analysis. PrOuD can convert a predictive uncertainty of a trained model about a time series value into an estimated uncertainty of the detected outlier through Monte Carlo Estimation. The experimental results obtained on both artificial time series and real-world photovoltaic inverter data demonstrated that the proposed solution could detect emerging anomalies accurately and quickly. The implemented PrOuD demo case shows the potential to makes the detection results of the existing detection methods more convincing so that domain experts can more efficiently complete their tasks, such as time series diagnosis and anomalous pattern clustering.

Without a convincing explanation, domain experts can hardly trust the detection results and conduct a further time series diagnosis in real-world applications. To overcome the challenge, we mathematically analyzed the sources of anomalies and novelties in multivariate time series as well as their relationships from the perspective of Gaussian-distributed non-stationary noise. Furthermore, we proposed mathematical methods to generate artificial time series and synthetic anomalies, with the goal of solving the problem that it is difficult to train and evaluate models in real-world applications due to the lack of sufficient data. In addition, we designed extbfProbabilistic extbfOutlier extbfDetection (PrOuD), which is a general solution to provide interpretable detection results to assist domain experts in time series analysis. PrOuD can convert a predictive uncertainty of a trained model about a time series value into an estimated uncertainty of the detected outlier through Monte Carlo Estimation. The experimental results obtained on both artificial time series and real-world photovoltaic inverter data demonstrated that the proposed solution could detect emerging anomalies accurately and quickly. The implemented PrOuD demo case shows the potential to makes the detection results of the existing detection methods more convincing so that domain experts can more efficiently complete their tasks, such as time series diagnosis and anomalous pattern clustering.

Deep active learning (AL) seeks to reduce the annotation costs required for training deep neural networks (DNNs). Often, deep AL strategies focus on instances where the predictive uncertainty of a DNN is high. Furthermore, Bayesian concepts to model uncertainty are frequently adopted. Despite considerable research, a detailed analysis of the role of uncertainty in deep AL is still missing, especially regarding aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty, both related to predictive uncertainty. This article provides an in-depth empirical study analyzing the interplay of uncertainty and deep AL in image classification. Our study investigates four hypotheses that provide an intuitive understanding of the effects of accurately estimating aleatoric and epistemic uncertainty on existing uncertainty-based AL strategies but also, in the opposite direction, the impact of uncertainty-based AL on the quality of uncertainty estimates that are needed in many applications. By analyzing these hypotheses on synthetic and real-world data, we find that accurate aleatoric estimates can even impair instance selection, while accurate epistemic estimates have negligible effects. Moreover, we provide a publicly available toolbox for deep AL with various models and strategies to facilitate further research and practical applications. Code is available at https://github.com/dhuseljic/dal-toolbox.

The project Detecting Intentions of Vulnerable Road Users Based on Collective Intelligence as a Basis for Automated Driving (DeCoInt{\$$}{\$$}^2{\$$}{\$$}2) focuses on detecting the intentions of vulnerable road users (VRUs) in automated driving using cooperative technologies. Especially in urban areas, VRUs, e.g., pedestrians and cyclists, will continue to play an essential role in mixed traffic. For an accident-free and highly efficient traffic flow with automated vehicles, it is vital to perceive VRUs and their intentions and analyze them similarly to humans when driving and forecasting VRU trajectories. Doing this reliably and robustly with a multimodal sensor system (e.g., cameras, LiDARs, accelerometers, and gyroscopes in mobile devices) in real-time is a big challenge. We follow a holistic, cooperative approach to recognize humans' movements and forecast their trajectories. Heterogeneous open sets of agents, i.e., collaboratively interacting vehicles, infrastructure, and VRUs equipped with mobile devices, exchange information to determine individual models of their surrounding environment, allowing an accurate and reliable forecast of VRU basic movements and trajectories. The collective intelligence of cooperating agents resolves occlusions, implausibilities, and inconsistencies. We developed new methods by considering and combining novel signal processing and modeling techniques with machine learning-based pattern recognition approaches. The cooperation between agents happens on several levels: the VRU perception level, the level of recognized trajectories, or the level of already detected intentions.

Electrification of vehicles is a potential way of reducing fossil fuel usage and thus lessening environmental pollution. Electric Vehicles (EVs) of various types for different transport modes (including air, water, and land) are evolving. Moreover, different EV user groups (commuters, commercial or domestic users, drivers) may use different charging infrastructures (public, private, home, and workplace) at various times. Therefore, usage patterns and energy demand are very stochastic. Characterizing and forecasting the charging demand of these diverse EV usage profiles is essential in preventing power outages. Previously developed data-driven load models are limited to specific use cases and locations. None of these models are simultaneously adaptive enough to transfer knowledge of day-ahead forecasting among EV charging sites of diverse locations, trained with limited data, and cost-effective. This article presents a location-based load forecasting of EV charging sites using a deep Multi-Quantile Temporal Convolutional Network (MQ-TCN) to overcome the limitations of earlier models. We conducted our experiments on data from four charging sites, namely Caltech, JPL, Office-1, and NREL, which have diverse EV user types like students, full-time and part-time employees, random visitors, etc. With a Prediction Interval Coverage Probability (PICP) score of 93.62%, our proposed deep MQ-TCN model exhibited a remarkable 28.93% improvement over the XGBoost model for a day-ahead load forecasting at the JPL charging site. By transferring knowledge with the inductive Transfer Learning (TL) approach, the MQ-TCN model achieved a 96.88% PICP score for the load forecasting task at the NREL site using only two weeks of data.

Human annotators typically provide annotated data for training machine learning models, such as neural networks. Yet, human annotations are subject to noise, impairing generalization performances. Methodological research on approaches counteracting noisy annotations requires corresponding datasets for a meaningful empirical evaluation. Consequently, we introduce a novel benchmark dataset, dopanim, consisting of about 15,750 animal images of 15 classes with ground truth labels. For approximately 10,500 of these images, 20 humans provided over 52,000 annotations with an accuracy of circa 67%. Its key attributes include (1) the challenging task of classifying doppelganger animals, (2) human-estimated likelihoods as annotations, and (3) annotator metadata. We benchmark well-known multi-annotator learning approaches using seven variants of this dataset and outline further evaluation use cases such as learning beyond hard class labels and active learning. Our dataset and a comprehensive codebase are publicly available to emulate the data collection process and to reproduce all empirical results.

In the field of deep learning based computer vision, the development of deep object detection has led to unique paradigms (e.g., two-stage or set-based) and architectures (e.g., Faster-RCNN or DETR) which enable outstanding performance on challenging benchmark datasets. Despite this, the trained object detectors typically do not reliably assess uncertainty regarding their own knowledge, and the quality of their probabilistic predictions is usually poor. As these are often used to make subsequent decisions, such inaccurate probabilistic predictions must be avoided. In this work, we investigate the uncertainty calibration properties of different pretrained object detection architectures in a multi-class setting. We propose a framework to ensure a fair, unbiased, and repeatable evaluation and conduct detailed analyses assessing the calibration under distributional changes (e.g., distributional shift and application to out-of-distribution data). Furthermore, by investigating the influence of different detector paradigms, post-processing steps, and suitable choices of metrics, we deliver novel insights into why poor detector calibration emerges. Based on these insights, we are able to improve the calibration of a detector by simply finetuning its last layer.

This article investigates the application of computer vision and graph-based models in solving mesh-based partial differential equations within high-performance computing environments. Focusing on structured, graded structured, and unstructured meshes, the study compares the performance and computational efficiency of three computer vision-based models against three graph-based models across three datasets. The research aims to identify the most suitable models for different mesh topographies, particularly highlighting the exploration of graded meshes, a less studied area. Results demonstrate that computer vision-based models, notably U-Net, outperform the graph models in prediction performance and efficiency in two (structured and graded) out of three mesh topographies. The study also reveals the unexpected effectiveness of computer vision-based models in handling unstructured meshes, suggesting a potential shift in methodological approaches for data-driven partial differential equation learning. The article underscores deep learning as a viable and potentially sustainable way to enhance traditional high-performance computing methods, advocating for informed model selection based on the topography of the mesh.

Deep active learning (AL) seeks to minimize the annotation costs for training deep neural networks. \\textsc{Bait, a recently proposed AL strategy based on the Fisher Information, has demonstrated impressive performance across various datasets. However, \\textsc{Bait's high computational and memory requirements hinder its applicability on large-scale classification tasks, resulting in current research neglecting \\textsc{Bait in their evaluation. This paper introduces two methods to enhance \\textsc{Bait's computational efficiency and scalability. Notably, we significantly reduce its time complexity by approximating the Fisher Information. In particular, we adapt the original formulation by i) taking the expectation over the most probable classes, and ii) constructing a binary classification task, leading to an alternative likelihood for gradient computations. Consequently, this allows the efficient use of \\textsc{Bait on large-scale datasets, including ImageNet. Our unified and comprehensive evaluation across a variety of datasets demonstrates that our approximations achieve strong performance with considerably reduced time complexity. Furthermore, we provide an extensive open-source toolbox that implements recent state-of-the-art AL strategies, available at \\url{https://github.com/dhuseljic/dal-toolbox.

Spatial-Temporal Attention Graph Neural Network with Uncertainty Estimation for Remaining Useful Life Prediction.Huang, Zhixin; Nivarthi, Chandana Priya; Gruhl, Christian; Sick, Bernhard. In International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN), bll 1–9. IEEE, 2024.

In the increasingly complex industrial system health management domain, accurate prediction of remaining useful life plays an essential role. This paper analyzes the methods to improve the predictive performance of remaining useful life from three aspects: optimizing model structures, augmenting uncertainty estimation in predictions, and transitioning normalization methods. Based on our analysis, we propose a novel model, the Uncertainty Spatial-Temporal Attention Graph Neural Network (USTAGNN), which consists of three primary components: sensor graph construction, a spatio-temporal feature extractor, and a probabilistic prediction module. The feature extractor leverages graph neural networks and temporal convolutional networks as a foundation to extract spatial and temporal features, further enhanced by attention mechanisms, spectral normalization, and residual connections to bolster its distance awareness. Following extensive experimental comparisons, we utilized the parameter-driven dynamic adjacency matrix for sensor graph construction and the deep kernel Gaussian process for precise uncertainty estimation. USTAGNN tries to resolve issues not thoroughly addressed in existing research, such as comparative analyses of sensor graph construction methods, accurate uncertainty estimation, and the model’s generalization under different preprocessing conditions. The proposed model demonstrated state-of-the-art performance on various subsets of the C-MAPSS dataset, achieving up to a 35.9% improvement in prediction score.

Autonomously driving vehicles in car factories and parking spaces can represent a competitive advantage in the logistics industry. However, the real-world application is challenging in many ways. First of all, there are no publicly available datasets for this specific task. Therefore, we equipped two industrial production sites with up to 11 LiDAR sensors to collect and annotate our own data for infrastructural 3D object detection. These form the basis for extensive experiments. Due to the still limited amount of labeled data, the commonly used ground truth sampling augmentation is the core of research in this work. Several variations of this augmentation method are explored, revealing that in our case, the most commonly used is not necessarily the best. We show that an easy-to-create polygon can noticeably improve the detection results in this application scenario. By using these augmentation methods, it is even possible to achieve moderate detection results when only empty frames without any objects and a database with only a few labeled objects are used.

This paper presents a methodological framework for training, self-optimising, and self-organising surrogate models to approximate and speed up multiobjective optimisation of technical systems based on multiphysics simulations. At the hand of two real-world datasets, we illustrate that surrogate models can be trained on relatively small amounts of data to approximate the underlying simulations accurately. Including explainable AI techniques allow for highlighting feature relevancy or dependencies and supporting the possible extension of the used datasets. One of the datasets was created for this paper and is made publicly available for the broader scientific community. Extensive experiments combine four machine learning and deep learning algorithms with an evolutionary optimisation algorithm. The performance of the combined training and optimisation pipeline is evaluated by verifying the generated Pareto-optimal results using the ground truth simulations. The results from our pipeline and a comprehensive evaluation strategy show the potential for efficiently acquiring solution candidates in multiobjective optimisation tasks by reducing the number of simulations and conserving a higher prediction accuracy, i.e., with a MAPE score under 5% for one of the presented use cases.

Multiple robots cooperate as a swarm to clean the hull of large container ships while in transit. We utilise physics-informed neural networks to implement an autonomous steering system and combine it with a deep reinforcement learning-based decision and scheduling system. This approach ensures efficient navigation and cleaning operations, adapting to dynamic environmental conditions in real-time. The proposed control system allows the cleaner robots, to enhance fuel efficiency, reduce CO2 emissions, and minimize the environmental impact of maritime transportation.

Objects are represented differently in projection-based sensors such as cameras depending on sensor resolution, field of view, and distortion, leading to distorted physical and geometric properties. As a result, sensor data process- ing depend on these properties. With the large variations of sensors on the market, an equivariant representation and suitable processing are necessary to become independent of the sensor used. In this work, we propose an extension of conventional image data by an additional channel in which the associated projection properties are encoded. Further- more, we introduce a SensorConv layer as an extension to the conventional convolution layer. SensorConv enable us- ing projection properties in convolutional neural networks. To that end, we propose an architecture for using the Sen- sorConv layer in the Detectron2 [21] framework. We col- lected a dataset of equirectangular images for our experi- ments with the CARLA [3] simulator. To analyze multiple sensor models (i.e., sensor intrinsic), we created an aug- mentation method to emulate a high variability of sensors from the collected equirectangular panoramas. In our ex- periment, we show that our method can generalize better across different camera sensors.

Autonomous systems, like vehicles or robots, require reliable, accurate, fast, resource-efficient, scalable, and low-latency trajectory predictions to get initial knowledge about future locations and movements of surrounding objects for safe human-machine interaction. Furthermore, they need to know the uncertainty of the predictions for risk assessment to provide safe path planning. This paper presents a lightweight method to address these requirements, combining Long Short-Term Memory and Mixture Density Networks. Our method predicts probability distributions, including confidence level estimations for positional uncertainty to support subsequent risk management applications and runs on a lowpower embedded platform. We discuss essential requirements for human trajectory prediction in autonomous vehicle applications and demonstrate our method’s performance using multiple traffic-related datasets. Furthermore, we explain reliability and sharpness metrics and show how important they are to guarantee the correctness and robustness of a model’s predictions and uncertainty assessments. These essential evaluations have so far received little attention for no good reason. Our approach focuses entirely on real-world applicability. Verifying prediction uncertainties and a model’s reliability are central to autonomous realworld applications. Our framework and code are available at: https://github.com/kav-institute/mdn_trajectory_forecasting.

At the hand of two real-world datasets, we illustrate that surrogate models can be trained on relatively small amounts of data to approximate the underlying simulations accurately. Including explainable AI techniques allow for highlighting feature relevancy or dependencies and supporting the possible extension of the used datasets. One of the datasets was created for this paper and is made publicly available for the broader scientific community. Extensive experiments combine four machine learning and deep learning algorithms with an evolutionary optimisation algorithm. The performance of the combined training and optimisation pipeline is evaluated by verifying the generated Pareto-optimal results using the ground truth simulations. The results from our pipeline and a comprehensive evaluation strategy show the potential for efficiently acquiring solution candidates in multiobjective optimisation tasks by reducing the number of simulations and conserving a higher prediction accuracy, i.e., with a MAPE score under 5% for one of the presented use cases.
Influence of Background Color on 6D Pose Tracking Accuracy.Hubert, Andreas; Doll, Konrad; Sick, Bernhard. In International Conference on Engineering and Emerging Technologies (ICEET), bll 1–6. IEEE, 2024.

Fast 6D pose tracking is a critical component in numerous applications ranging from robotics to augmented reality. A notable method for addressing this challenge involves simulating the last known pose and comparing it with the current one, a process central to the SE(3)-TrackNet approach, which is known for its reliability. Traditionally, this method employs a uniform black background for the simulated input. This study challenges the standard practice by demonstrating that the choice of background color can significantly influences the accuracy of 6D pose estimation. Through a series of experiments, we provide results showing that background color is a critical factor for the effectiveness of the SE(3) TrackNet approach.

It is the habit not the handle that affects tooth brushing - a randomised counterbalanced cross over study with young and healthy adults.Deinzer, Renate; Eidenhardt, Zdenka; Sohrabi, Keywan; Stenger, Manuel; Kraft, Dominik; Sick, Bernhard; Götz-Hahn, Franz; Bottenbruch, Carlotta; Berneburg, Nils; Weik, Ulrike.

Objective To assess the effect of the toothbrush handle on video-observed toothbrushing behaviour and toothbrushing effectiveness. Methods This is a randomized counterbalanced cross-over study. N = 50 university students and employees brushed their teeth at two occasions, one week apart, using either a commercial ergonomically designed manual toothbrush (MT) or Brushalyze V1 (BV1), a manual toothbrush with a thick cylindrical handle without any specific ergonomic features. Brushing behaviour was video-analysed. Plaque was assessed at the second occasion immediately after brushing. Participants also rated their self-perceived oral cleanliness and directly compared the two brushes regarding their handling and compared them to the brushed they used at home. Results The study participants found the BV1 significantly more cumbersome than the M1 or their brush at home. (p < 0.05). However, correlation analyses revealed a strong consistency of brushing behavior with the two brushes (0.71 < r < 0.91). Means differed only slightly (all d < 0.36). These differences became statistically significant only for the brushing time at inner surfaces (d = 0.31 p = 0.03) and horizontal movements at inner surfaces (d = 0.35, p = 0.02). Plaque levels at the gingival margins did not differ while slightly more plaque persisted at the more coronal aspects of the crown after brushing with BV1 (d = 0.592; p 0.042). Discussion The results of the study indicate that the brushing handle does not play a major role in brushing behavior or brushing effectiveness.

The operating environment of a highly automated vehicle is subject to change, e.g., weather, illumination, or the scenario containing different objects and other participants in which the highly automated vehicle has to navigate its passengers safely. These situations must be considered when developing and validating highly automated driving functions. This already poses a problem for training and evaluating deep learning models because without the costly labeling of thousands of recordings, not knowing whether the data contains relevant, interesting data for further model training, it is a guess under which conditions and situations the model performs poorly. For this purpose, we present corner case criteria based on the predictive uncertainty. With our corner case criteria, we are able to detect uncertainty-based corner cases of an object instance segmentation model without relying on ground truth (GT) data. We evaluated each corner case criterion using the COCO and the NuImages dataset to analyze the potential of our approach. We also provide a corner case decision function that allows us to distinguish each object into True Positive (TP), localization and/or classification corner case, or False Positive (FP). We also present our first results of an iterative training cycle that outperforms the baseline and where the data added to the training dataset is selected based on the corner case decision function.

LiST: An All-Linear-Layer Spatial-Temporal Feature Extractor with Uncertainty Estimation for RUL Prediction.Huang, Zhixin; Gruhl, Christian; Sick, Bernhard. In IEEE Conference on Industrial Electronics and Applications (ICIEA), bll 1–7. IEEE, 2024.

In the context of Remaining Useful Life (RUL) prediction for industrial systems, the pursuit of prediction accuracy must be balanced against the hardware costs of model operation and the reliability of prediction results. To resolve these challenges, we introduce LiST, an all-linear-layer spatial-temporal feature extractor integrated with uncertainty estimation, specifically designed for processing sensor multivariate time series (MTS) data. Unlike traditional linear models that flatten MTS and thus neglect their spatial-temporal dependencies, LiST's linear layers act on both the sensor and time dimensions of MTS that can extract spatial and temporal features like GNN and RNN models. Through performance comparisons on four RUL prediction datasets, LiST uses only 66.1% of the parameters, achieves comparable accuracy to state-of-the-art GNN and RNN models, obtains the best results on two datasets with up to a 21.6% improvement in Score, and enhances training efficiency by 3.2 times. Additionally, LiST can predict RUL with uncertainty estimation and precisely disentangle epistemic and aleatoric uncertainties, thus enhancing the model's practicality and reliability in real-world industrial applications.

Obesity is a common problem for many people. In order to assist people combating obesity, providing methods to quickly, easily, and inexpensively assess their body composition is important. This article investigates how noninvasive, optical sensors based on multiple spatially resolved reflection spectroscopy can be used to measure the body mass index and body composition parameters. Using machine learning to train continuous feature networks, it is possible to predict the body mass index of a subject, with a correlation of $$R=0.61$$ with $$p<0.0001$$. Similarly, the predicted body mass index shows correlations to both the subject's visceral fat ($$R=0.44,p=0.0023$$) and skeletal muscle mass index ($$R=0.52,p=0.0003$$), indicating that the trained neural network is capable of identifying both types of tissue. Strategies to independently detect either type of tissue are discussed.

Ensuring the reliability of critical industrial systems across various sectors is crucial. It is essential to detect deviations from regular behaviour to mitigate disruptions and preserve infrastructure integrity. However, accurately labelling anomaly datasets is challenging due to their rarity and manual annotation subjectivity. The conventional approach of training separate models for each dataset entity further complicates model development. This paper presents a novel Multi-task Learning framework combining LSTM Autoencoder with temporal attention mechanism (MTL-LATAM) for effective time series anomaly detection. Multitask learning models improve adaptability and generalizability, leading to reduced runtime and compute power while supporting zero-shot evaluation. These models offer flexibility in detecting emerging anomalies. Additionally, we introduce a dynamic thresholding mechanism to incorporate temporal context for anomaly detection and provide visualizations of attention weights to enhance interpretability. The study compares MTL- LATAM, with other multi-task models, evaluates multi-task versus single-task models and assesses the performance of the proposed frame- work in zero-shot learning scenarios. The findings indicate MTL- LATAM’s effectiveness across real-world and open-source datasets, achieving 95% and 97% task synergy. The results underscore the superior performance of multi-task models in zero-shot tasks compared to individual models trained exclusively on their respective datasets.

Utilizing Continuous Kernels for Processing Irregularly and Inconsistently Sampled Data With Position-Dependent Features.Magnussen, Birk Martin; Stern, Claudius; Sick, Bernhard. In International Conference on Autonomic and Autonomous Systems (ICAS), bll 49–53. ThinkMind, 2023.

Continuous Kernels have been a recent development in convolutional neural networks. Such kernels are used to process data sampled at different resolutions as well as irregularly and inconsistently sampled data. Convolutional neural networks have the property of translational invariance (e.g., features are detected regardless of their position in the measurement domain), which is unsuitable for certain types of data, where the position of detected features is relevant. However, the capabilities of continuous kernels to process irregularly sampled data are still desired. This article introduces a novel method utilizing continuous kernels for detecting global features at absolute positions in the data domain. Through a use case in processing multiple spatially resolved reflection spectroscopy data, which is sampled irregularly and inconsistently, we show that the proposed method is capable of processing such data natively without additional preprocessing as is needed using comparable methods. In addition, we show that the proposed method is able to achieve a higher prediction accuracy than a comparable network on a dataset with position-dependent features. Furthermore, a higher robustness to missing data compared to a benchmark network using data interpolation is observed, which allows the network to adapt to sensors with individual failed components without the need for retraining.

Such kernels are used to process data sampled at different resolutions as well as irregularly and inconsistently sampled data. Convolutional neural networks have the property of translational invariance (e.g., features are detected regardless of their position in the measurement domain), which is unsuitable for certain types of data, where the position of detected features is relevant. However, the capabilities of continuous kernels to process irregularly sampled data are still desired. This article introduces a novel method utilizing continuous kernels for detecting global features at absolute positions in the data domain. Through a use case in processing multiple spatially resolved reflection spectroscopy data, which is sampled irregularly and inconsistently, we show that the proposed method is capable of processing such data natively without additional preprocessing as is needed using comparable methods. In addition, we show that the proposed method is able to achieve a higher prediction accuracy than a comparable network on a dataset with position-dependent features. Furthermore, a higher robustness to missing data compared to a benchmark network using data interpolation is observed, which allows the network to adapt to sensors with individual failed components without the need for retraining.

Active learning aims to reduce the amount of labeled data while maximizing machine learning models’ performances. Currently, there is sparse research on the potential of an optimal active learning strategy. Therefore, we propose a non-myopic oracle policy that accesses the true labels of the data pool to approximate an optimal active learning strategy. We evaluate how the hyperparameters of this oracle policy influence its performance and empirically demonstrate that it is an upper baseline for common active learning strategies while being faster than a state-of-the-art oracle policy. For the sake of reproducibility, all the code related to our research is publicly available on our GitHub repository at https://github.com/ies-research/non-myopic-oracle-policy.

What Does Really Count?

In safety-critical applications such as automated driving, perception errors may create an imminent risk to vulnerable road users (VRU). To mitigate the occurrence of unexpected and potentially dangerous situations, so-called corner cases, perception models are trained on a huge amount of data. However, the models are typically evaluated using task-agnostic metrics, which do not reflect the severity of safety-critical misdetections. Consequently, misdetections with particular relevance for the safe driving task should entail a more severe penalty during evaluation to pinpoint corner cases in large-scale datasets. In this work, we propose a novel metric IoUw that exploits relevance on the pixel level of the semantic segmentation output to extend the notion of the intersection over union (IoU) by emphasizing small areas of an image affected by corner cases. We (i) employ IoUw to measure the effect of pre-defined relevance criteria on the segmentation evaluation, and (ii) use the relevance-adapted IoUw to refine the identification of corner cases. In our experiments, we investigate vision-based relevance criteria and physical attributes as per-pixel criticality to factor in the imminent risk, showing that IoUw precisely accentuates the relevance of corner cases.

Solving complex classification tasks using deep neural networks typically requires large amounts of annotated data. However, corresponding class labels are noisy when provided by error-prone annotators, e.g., crowdworkers. Training standard deep neural networks leads to subpar performances in such multi-annotator supervised learning settings. We address this issue by presenting a probabilistic training framework named multi-annotator deep learning (MaDL). A downstream ground truth and an annotator performance model are jointly trained in an end-to-end learning approach. The ground truth model learns to predict instances' true class labels, while the annotator performance model infers probabilistic estimates of annotators' performances. A modular network architecture enables us to make varying assumptions regarding annotators' performances, e.g., an optional class or instance dependency. Further, we learn annotator embeddings to estimate annotators' densities within a latent space as proxies of their potentially correlated annotations. Together with a weighted loss function, we improve the learning from correlated annotation patterns. In a comprehensive evaluation, we examine three research questions about multi-annotator supervised learning. Our findings show MaDL's state-of-the-art performance and robustness against many correlated, spamming annotators.

In a case study, we demonstrate how an intelligent crowdworker selection via deep learning reduces the number of erroneous annotations and, thus, the annotation costs of obtaining reliable data for training deep neural networks.

The examination of uncertainty in the predictions of machine learning (ML) models is receiving increasing attention. One uncertainty modeling technique used for this purpose is Monte-Carlo (MC)-Dropout, where repeated predictions are generated for a single input. Therefore, clustering is required to describe the resulting uncertainty, but only through efficient clustering is it possible to describe the uncertainty from the model attached to each object. This article uses Bayesian Gaussian Mixture (BGM) to solve this problem. In addition, we investigate different values for the dropout rate and other techniques, such as focal loss and calibration, which we integrate into the Mask-RCNN model to obtain the most accurate uncertainty approximation of each instance and showcase it graphically.

There is recent interest in using model hubs – a collection of pre-trained models – in computer vision tasks. To employ a model hub, we first select a source model and then adapt the model for the target to compensate for differences. There still needs to be more research on model selection and adaption for renewable power forecasts. In particular, none of the related work examines different model selection and adaptation strategies for neural network architectures. Also, none of the current studies investigates the influence of available training samples and considers seasonality in the evaluation. We close these gaps by conducting the first thorough experiment for model selection and adaptation for transfer learning in renewable power forecast, adopting recent developments from the field of computer vision on 667 wind and photovoltaic parks from six datasets. We simulate different amounts of training samples for each season to calculate informative forecast errors. We examine the marginal likelihood and forecast error for model selection for those amounts. Furthermore, we study four adaption strategies. As an extension of the current state of the art, we utilize a Bayesian linear regression for forecasting the response based on features extracted from a neural network. This approach outperforms the baseline with only seven days of training data and shows that fine-tuning is not beneficial with less than three months of data. We further show how combining multiple models through ensembles can significantly improve the model selection and adaptation approach such that we have a similar mean error with only 30 days of training data which is otherwise only possible with an entire year of training data. We achieve a mean error of 9.8 and 14 percent for the most realistic dataset for PV and wind with only seven days of training data.

In this work, we propose an extension of conventional image data by an additional channel in which the associated projection properties are encoded. This addresses the issue of sensor-dependent object representation in projection-based sensors, such as LiDAR, which can lead to distorted physical and geometric properties due to variations in sensor resolution and field of view. To that end, we propose an architecture for processing this data in an instance segmentation framework. We focus specifically on LiDAR as a key sensor modality for machine vision tasks and highly automated driving (HAD). Through an experimental setup in a controlled synthetic environment, we identify a bias on sensor resolution and field of view and demonstrate that our proposed method can reduce said bias for the task of LiDAR instance segmentation. Furthermore, we define our method such that it can be applied to other projection-based sensors, such as cameras. To promote transparency, we make our code and dataset publicly available. This method shows the potential to improve performance and robustness in various machine vision tasks that utilize projection-based sensors.

RUL prediction plays a crucial role in the health management of industrial systems. Given the increasing complexity of systems, data-driven predictive models have attracted significant research interest. Upon reviewing the existing literature, it appears that many studies either do not fully integrate both spatial and temporal features or employ only a single attention mechanism. Furthermore, there seems to be inconsistency in the choice of data normalization methods, particularly concerning operating conditions, which might influence predictive performance. To bridge these observations, this study presents the Spatio-Temporal Attention Graph Neural Network. Our model combines graph neural networks and temporal convolutional neural networks for spatial and temporal feature extraction, respectively. The cascade of these extractors, combined with multihead attention mechanisms for both spatio-temporal dimensions, aims to improve predictive precision and refine model explainability. Comprehensive experiments were conducted on the CMAPSS dataset to evaluate the impact of unified versus clustering normalization. The findings suggest that our model performs state-of-the-art results using only the unified normalization. Additionally, when dealing with datasets with multiple operating conditions, cluster normalization enhances the performance of our proposed model by up to 27%.

Splitting of sequential data, such as videos and time series, is an essential step in various data analysis tasks, including object tracking and anomaly detection. However, splitting sequential data presents a variety of challenges that can impact the accuracy and reliability of subsequent analyses. This concept article examines the challenges associated with splitting sequential data, including data acquisition, data representation, split ratio selection, setting up quality criteria, and choosing suitable selection strategies. We explore these challenges through two real-world examples: motor test benches and particle tracking in liquids.

Typically, renewable-power-generation forecasting using machine learning involves creating separate models for each photovoltaic or wind park, known as single-task learning models. However, transfer learning has gained popularity in recent years, as it allows for the transfer of knowledge from source parks to target parks. Nevertheless, determining the most similar source park(s) for transfer learning can be challenging, particularly when the target park has limited or no historical data samples. To address this issue, we propose a multi-task learning architecture that employs a Unified Autoencoder (UAE) to initially learn a common representation of input weather features among tasks and then utilizes a Task-Embedding layer in a Neural Network (TENN) to learn task-specific information. This proposed UAE-TENN architecture can be easily extended to new parks with or without historical data. We evaluate the performance of our proposed architecture and compare it to single-task learning models on six photovoltaic and wind farm datasets consisting of a total of 529 parks. Our results show that the UAE-TENN architecture significantly improves power-forecasting performance by 10 to 19% for photovoltaic parks and 5 to 15% for wind parks compared to baseline models. We also demonstrate that UAE-TENN improves forecast accuracy for a new park by 19% for photovoltaic parks, even in a zero-shot learning scenario where there is no historical data. Additionally, we propose variants of the Unified Autoencoder with convolutional and LSTM layers, compare their performance, and provide a comparison among architectures with different numbers of task-embedding dimensions. Finally, we demonstrate the utility of trained task embeddings for interpretation and visualization purposes.

Despite considerable research on pool-based deep active learning (DAL), deploying DAL into real applications still has several challenges. A frequently neglected aspect is the choice of training hyperparameters (HPs), such as the learning rate. Since these HPs determine how the deep neural network learns in each cycle, they must be chosen carefully. In this article, we analyze the role of HPs in DAL. We find that optimizing HPs reduces the performance gap between DAL strategies. Conversely, we highlight challenges in finding optimal HPs when using datasets selected via DAL strategies.

Leveraging Repeated Unlabelled Noisy Measurements to Augment Supervised Learning.Magnussen, Birk Martin; Stern, Claudius; Sick, Bernhard. In International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Intelligent Systems (CIIS), bll 1–6. ACM, 2023.

Often, producing large labelled datasets for supervised machine learning is difficult and expensive. In cases where the expensive part is due to labelling and obtaining ground truth, it is often comparably easy to acquire large datasets containing unlabelled data points. For reproducible measurements, it is possible to record information on multiple data points being from the same reproducible measurement series, which should thus have an equal but unknown ground truth. In this article, we propose a method to incorporate a dataset of such unlabelled data points for which some data points are known to be equal in end-to-end training of otherwise labelled data. We show that, with the example of predicting the carotenoid concentration in human skin from optical multiple spatially resolved reflection spectroscopy data, the proposed method is capable of reducing the required number of labelled data points to achieve the same prediction accuracy for different model architectures. In addition, we show that the proposed method is capable of reducing the negative impact of noisy data when performing a repeated measurement of the same sample.

Objective: To assess the effect of the toothbrush handle on video-observed toothbrushing behaviour and toothbrushing effectiveness Methods: This is a randomized counterbalanced cross-over study. N = 50 university students brushed their teeth at two occasions, one week apart, using either a commercial ergonomically designed manual toothbrush (MT) or Brushalyze V1 (BV1), a manual toothbrush with a thick cylindrical handle without any specific ergonomic features. Brushing behaviour was video-analysed. Plaque was assessed at the second occasion immediately after brushing. Participants directly compared the two brushes regarding their handling and compared them to the brushed they used at home. Results: The study participants found the BV1 significantly more cumbersome than the M1 or their brush at home. (p < 0.05). However, correlation analyses revealed a strong consistency of brushing behavior with the two brushes (0.71 < r < 0.91). Means differed only slightly (all d < 0.36). These differences became statistically significant only for the brushing time at inner surfaces (d = 0.31 p = 0.03) and horizontal movements at inner surfaces (d = 0.35, p = 0.02). Plaque levels at the gingival margins did not differ while slightly more plaque persisted at the more coronal aspects of the crown after brushing with BV1 (d = 0.592; p 0.042) Discussion: The results of the study indicate that the brushing handle does not play a major role in brushing behavior or brushing effectiveness.

SAMs are designed to adapt their behaviour and collaborate with other agents in multi-agent settings. Achieving compatibility and effective collaboration between agents pose significant challenges, such as detecting incompatibility and discerning it from malicious behaviour. We present our concept of agent compatibility, highlight future challenges, and propose directions for future research in this area.

Magneto-optical Kerr microscopy is a powerful method for imaging magnetic domains. Even though domain imaging below the diffractive resolution limit is possible, such investigations are getting increasingly complex with decreasing structure size due to the decreasing Kerr contrast. As magnetic domain images free of topographical artifacts are obtained by subtracting a reference image from the actual image, the corresponding challenges are additionally increased by unavoidable sample motion in the time interval between acquiring the two images. Software-based drift corrections typically rely on a unique structure in the image's region of interest (ROI), recognized automatically or selected manually by the user. By digital image shifting, the ROI positions in the actual and reference images are aligned, and the sample motion is compensated. For magnetic domain imaging in periodically arranged micro- or nano-objects, unique topographical features are not given, making the drift correction by ROIs difficult, often even impossible. Herein, a novel software-based approach is presented for drift corrections to image domains with features close/below the optical resolution limit and for investigating periodically arranged micro- or nano-objects without utilizing ROIs. High-contrast images are obtained, enabling the characterization of periodically arranged 1D, 2D, and 3D magnetic objects with lateral dimensions below 100 nm.

Applications using machine learning (ML), such as highly autonomous driving, depend highly on the performance of the ML model. The data amount and quality used for model training and validation are crucial. If the model cannot detect and interpret a new, rare, or perhaps dangerous situation, often referred to as a corner case, we will likely blame the data for not being good enough or too small in number. However, the implemented ML model and its associated architecture also influence the behavior. Therefore, the occurrence of prediction errors resulting from the ML model itself is not surprising. This work addresses a corner case definition from an ML model's perspective to determine which aspects must be considered. To achieve this goal, we present an overview of properties for corner cases that are beneficial for the description, explanation, reproduction, or synthetic generation of corner cases. To define ML corner cases, we review different considerations in the literature and summarize them in a general description and mathematical formulation, whereby the expected relevance-weighted loss is the key to distinguishing corner cases from common data. Moreover, we show how to operationalize the corner case characteristics to determine the value of a corner case. To conclude, we present the extended taxonomy for ML corner cases by adding the input, model, and deployment levels, considering the influence of the corner case properties.

To conclude, we present the extended taxonomy for ML corner cases by adding the input, model, and deployment levels, considering the influence of the corner case properties.

Inner-city intersections are among the most critical traffic areas for injury and fatal accidents. Automated vehicles struggle with the complex and hectic everyday life within those areas. Sensor-equipped smart infrastructures, which can cooperate with vehicles, can benefit automated traffic by extending the perception capabilities of drivers and vehicle perception systems. Additionally, they offer the opportunity to gather reproducible and precise data of a holistic scene understanding, including context information as a basis for training algorithms for various applications in automated traffic. Therefore, we introduce the Infrastructural Multi-Person Trajectory and Context Dataset (IMPTC). We use an intelligent public inner-city intersection in Germany with visual sensor technology. A multi-view camera and LiDAR system perceives traffic situations and road users’ behavior. Additional sensors monitor contextual information like weather, lighting, and traffic light signal status. The data acquisition system focuses on Vulnerable Road Users (VRUs) and multiagent interaction. The resulting dataset consists of eight hours of measurement data. It contains over 2,500 VRU trajectories, including pedestrians, cyclists, e-scooter riders, strollers, and wheelchair users, and over 20,000 vehicle trajectories at different day times, weather conditions, and seasons. In addition, to enable the entire stack of research capabilities, the dataset includes all data, starting from the sensor-, calibration- and detection data until trajectory and context data. The dataset is continuously expanded and is available online for non-commercial research at https://github.com/kav-institute/imptc-dataset

On the Reliability of Automated Analysis of Fracture Surfaces Using a Novel Computer Vision-Based Tool.Engelhardt, Anna; Decke, Jens; Meier, David; Dulig, Franz; Ragunathan, Rishan; Wegener, Thomas; Sick, Bernhard; Niendorf, Thomas.

Fracture surface analysis is of utmost importance with respect to structural integrity of metallic materials. This especially holds true for additively manufactured materials. Despite an increasing trend of automatization of testing methods, the analysis and classification of fatigue fracture surface images is commonly done manually by experts. Although this leads to correct results in most cases, it has several disadvantages, e.g., the need of a huge knowledge base to interpret images correctly. In present work, an unsupervised tool for analysis of overview images of fatigue fracture surface images is developed to support nonexperienced users to identify the origin of the fracture. The tool is developed using fracture surface images of additively manufactured Ti6Al4V specimens fatigued in the high-cycle-fatigue regime and is based on the identification of river marks. Several recording parameters seem to have no significant influence on the results as long as preprocessing settings are adapted. Moreover, it is possible to analyze images of other materials with the tool as long as the fracture surfaces contain river marks. However, special features like multiple origins or origins located in direct vicinity to the surface, e.g., caused by increased plastic strains, require a further tool development or alternative approaches.

X‑ray diffraction crystallography allows non‑destructive examination of crystal structures. Furthermore, it has low requirements regarding surface preparation, especially compared to electron backscatter diffraction. However, up to now, X‑ray diffraction has been highly time‑ consuming in standard laboratory conditions since intensities on multiple lattice planes have to be recorded by rotating and tilting. Furthermore, examining oligocrystalline materials is challenging due to the limited number of diffraction spots. Moreover, commonly used evaluation methods for crystallographic orientation analysis need multiple lattice planes for a reliable pole figure reconstruction. In this article, we propose a deep‑learning‑based method for oligocrystalline specimens, i.e., specimens with up to three grains of arbitrary crystal orientations. Our approach allows faster experimentation due to accurate reconstructions of pole figure regions, which we did not probe experimentally. In contrast to other methods, the pole figure is reconstructed based on only a single incomplete pole figure. To speed up the development of our proposed method and for usage in other machine learning algorithms, we introduce a GPU‑based simulation for data generation. Furthermore, we present a pole widths standardization technique using a custom deep learning architecture that makes algorithms more robust against influences from the experiment setup and material.

In this work, we apply deep active learning to the field of design optimization to reduce the number of computationally expensive numerical simulations widely used in industry and engineering. We are interested in optimizing the design of structural components, where a set of parameters describes the shape. If we can predict the performance based on these parameters and consider only the promising candidates for simulation, there is an enormous potential for saving computing power. We present two query strategies for self-optimization to reduce the computational cost in multi-objective design optimization problems. Our proposed methodology provides an intuitive approach that is easy to apply, offers significant improvements over random sampling, and circumvents the need for uncertainty estimation. We evaluate our strategies on a large dataset from the domain of fluid dynamics and introduce two new evaluation metrics to determine the model's performance. Findings from our evaluation highlights the effectiveness of our query strategies in accelerating design optimization. Furthermore, the introduced method is easily transferable to other self-optimization problems in industry and engineering.

Three fields revolving around the question of how to cope with limited amounts of labeled data are Deep Active Learning (DAL), deep Constrained Clustering (CC), and Weakly Supervised Learning (WSL). DAL tackles the problem by adaptively posing the question of which data samples to annotate next in order to achieve the best incremental learning improvement, although it suffers from several limitations that hinder its deployment in practical settings. We point out how CC algorithms and WSL could be employed to overcome these limitations and increase the practical applicability of DAL research. Specifically, we discuss the opportunities to use the class discovery capabilities of CC and the possibility of further reducing human annotation efforts by utilizing WSL. We argue that the practical applicability of DAL algorithms will benefit from employing CC and WSL methods for the learning and labeling process. We inspect the overlaps between the three research areas and identify relevant and exciting research questions at the intersection of these areas.

Towards Few-Shot Time Series Anomaly Detection with Temporal Attention and Dynamic Thresholding.Nivarthi, Chandana Priya; Sick, Bernhard. In International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA), bll 1444–1450. IEEE, 2023.

Anomaly detection plays a pivotal role in diverse realworld applications such as cybersecurity, fault detection, network monitoring, predictive maintenance, and highly automated driving. However, obtaining labeled anomalous data can be a formidable challenge, especially when anomalies exhibit temporal evolution. This paper introduces LATAM (Long short-term memory Autoencoder with Temporal Attention Mechanism) for few-shot anomaly detection, with the aim of enhancing detection performance in scenarios with limited labeled anomaly data. LATAM effectively captures temporal dependencies and emphasizes significant patterns in multivariate time series data. In our investigation, we comprehensively evaluate LATAM against other anomaly detection models, particularly assessing its capability in few-shot learning scenarios where we have minimal examples from the normal class and none from the anomalous class in the training data. Our experimental results, derived from real-world photovoltaic inverter data, highlight LATAM’s superiority, showcasing a substantial 27% mean F1 score improvement, even when trained on a mere two-week dataset. Furthermore, LATAM demonstrates remarkable results on the open-source SWaT dataset, achieving a 12% boost in accuracy with only two days of training data. Moreover, we introduce a simple yet effective dynamic thresholding mechanism, further enhancing the anomaly detection capabilities of LATAM. This underscores LATAM’s efficacy in addressing the challenges posed by limited labeled anomalies in practical scenarios and it proves valuable for downstream tasks involving temporal representation and time series prediction, extending its utility beyond anomaly detection applications.

This dataset contains 10,000 fluid flow and heat transfer simulations in U-bend shapes. Each of them is described by 28 design parameters, which are processed with the help of Computational Fluid Dynamics methods. The dataset provides a comprehensive benchmark for investigating various problems and methods from the field of design optimization. For these investigations supervised, semi-supervised and unsupervised deep learning approaches can be employed. One unique feature of this dataset is that each shape can be represented by three distinct data types including design parameter and objective combinations, five different resolutions of 2D images from the geometry and the solution variables of the numerical simulation, as well as a representation using the cell values of the numerical mesh. This third representation enables considering the specific data structure of numerical simulations for deep learning approaches. The source code and the container used to generate the data are published as part of this work.

Each of them is described by 28 design parameters, which are processed with the help of Computational Fluid Dynamics methods. The dataset provides a comprehensive benchmark for investigating various problems and methods from the field of design optimization. For these investigations supervised, semi-supervised and unsupervised deep learning approaches can be employed. One unique feature of this dataset is that each shape can be represented by three distinct data types including design parameter and objective combinations, five different resolutions of 2D images from the geometry and the solution variables of the numerical simulation, as well as a representation using the cell values of the numerical mesh. This third representation enables considering the specific data structure of numerical simulations for deep learning approaches.

Besides infrastructure-based solutions, small-scale microsystems are increasingly connected and interoperating with others in changing environments. Following the same motivation as for self-adaptive systems, this demands novel attempts to counter complexity and provide autonomous decision freedom that paves the path towards resilient and flexible behaviour. In this article, we outline a vision for research on self-aware microsystems (SAM) that aims at providing technical solutions that are especially relevant for initiatives such as self-improving system integration.

Context: Smart and adaptive Systems, such as self-adaptive and self-organising (SASO) systems, typically consist of a large set of highly autonomous and heterogeneous subsystems that are able to adapt their behaviour to the requirements of ever-changing, dynamic environments. Their successful operation is based on appropriate modelling of the internal and external conditions. Objective: The control problem for establishing a near-to-optimal coordinated behaviour of systems with multiple, potentially conflicting objectives is either approached in a distributed (i.e., fully autonomous by the autonomous subsystems) or in a centralised way (i.e. one instance controlling the optimisation and planning process). In the distributed approach, selfish behaviour and being limited to local knowledge may lead to sub-optimal system behaviour, while the centralised approach ignores the autonomy and the coordination efforts of parts of the system. Method: In this article, we present a concept for a hybrid (i.e., integrating a central optimisation with a distributed decision-making process) system management that combines local reinforcement learning and self-awareness mechanisms of fully autonomous subsystems with external system-wide planning and optimisation of adaptation freedom that steers the behaviour dynamically by issuing plans and guidelines augmented with incentivisation schemes. Results: This work addresses the inherent uncertainty of the dynamic system behaviour, the local autonomous and context-aware learning of subsystems, and proactive control based on adaptiveness. We provide the ‘swarm-fleet infrastructure’—a self-organised taxi service established by autonomous, privately-owned cars—as a testbed for structured comparison of systems. Conclusion: The ‘swarm-fleet infrastructure’ supports the advantages of a proactive hybrid self-adaptive and self-organising system operation. Further, we provide a system model to combine the system-wide optimisation while ensuring local decision-making through reinforcement learning for individualised configurations.

This work focuses on the prediction of hot deformation behavior of thermo-mechanically processed precipitation hardenable aluminum alloy AA7075. Data available are focusing on a novel hot forming process at different tool temperatures ranging from 24°C to 350°C to set different cooling rates after solution-heat-treatment. Isothermal uniaxial tensile tests in the temperature range from 200°C to 400°C and at strain rates ranging from 0.001 s^-1 to 0.1 s^-1 were carried out on four different material conditions. The present paper mainly focuses on a comparative study of modeling techniques based on Machine Learning (ML) and the well-known Zerilli-Armstrong model (Z-A) as an empirically based reference. Work focused on predicting single data points of curves that the model was trained on. Due to the novel way data were split with respect to training and testing data, it becomes possible to predict entire stress-strain curves which leads to a reduction in the number of required laboratory experiments, finally saving costs and time in future experiments. While all investigated ML methods showed a higher performance than the Z-A model, the extreme Gradient Boosting model (XGB) showed the superior results, i.e., highest error reduction of 91% with respect to the Mean Squared Error.

Retraining deep neural networks when new data arrives is typically computationally expensive. Moreover, certain applications do not allow such costly retraining due to time or computational constraints. Fast Bayesian updates are a possible solution to this issue. Therefore, we propose a Bayesian update based on Monte-Carlo samples and a last-layer Laplace approximation for different Bayesian neural network types, i.e., Dropout, Ensemble, and Spectral Normalized Neural Gaussian Process (SNGP). In a large-scale evaluation study, we show that our updates combined with SNGP represent a fast and competitive alternative to costly retraining. As a use case, we combine the Bayesian updates for SNGP with different sequential query strategies to exemplarily demonstrate their improved selection performance in active learning.

The development of new electric traction machines is a time-consuming process as it involves intensive testing on motor test benches. Machine-Learning-empowered monitoring offers the opportunity to anticipate costly failures early and hence reducing development time. However, machine learning (ML) for process monitoring requires large amounts of training data, especially as the targeted fault states are scarce and yet diverse in their appearances. Therefore, we propose to use synthetic time series data to leverage the high cost of acquiring training data from experiments in real test benches. In this article, we present a novel scheme to generate synthetic data based on a sub-dimensional time series representation. We introduce a highly flexible model by mapping the data to a latent representation and approximating the latent data distribution by a Gaussian Mixture Model. In addition, we propose the Frechet InceptionTime Distance (FITD) as a new distance measure to evaluate the generated data. It allows extracting characteristics at different scales by using multiple kernel sizes. In this way, we ensure that the synthesized data contains characteristics similar to those present in the real data. In our experiment, we train two types of fault detectors, one based on real data of a motor test bench and the other based on synthetic data. We also consider employing fault-aware conditional architectures to generate training data for different fault types explicitly. Our final results show that using synthesized data in the training process increases the performance in terms of classification accuracy score (CAS) up to 29%.

Multi-Task Autoencoders and Transfer Learning for Day-Ahead Wind and Photovoltaic Power Forecasts.Schreiber, Jens; Sick, Bernhard. In Energies, 15(21), bl 8062. MDPI, 2022.
- [ Abstract ]
- [ BibTeX ]
- [ EndNote ]
Integrating new renewable energy resources requires robust and reliable forecasts to ensure a stable electrical grid and avoid blackouts. Sophisticated representation learning techniques, such as autoencoders, play an essential role, as they allow for the extraction of latent features to forecast the expected generated wind and photovoltaic power for the next seconds up to days. Thereby, autoencoders reduce the required training time and the time spent in manual feature engineering and often improve the forecast error. However, most current renewable energy forecasting research on autoencoders focuses on smaller forecast horizons for the following seconds and hours based on meteorological measurements. At the same time, larger forecast horizons, such as day-ahead power forecasts based on numerical weather predictions, are crucial for planning loads and demands within the electrical grid to prevent power failures. There is little evidence on the ability of autoencoders and their respective forecasting models to improve through multi-task learning and time series autoencoders for day-ahead power forecasts. We can close these gaps by proposing a multi-task learning autoencoder based on the recently introduced temporal convolution network. This approach reduces the number of trainable parameters by 38 for photovoltaic data and 202 for wind data while having the best reconstruction error compared to nine other representation learning techniques. At the same time, this model decreases the day-ahead forecast error up to 18.3% for photovoltaic parks and 1.5% for wind parks. We round off these results by analyzing the influences of the latent size and the number of layers to fine-tune the encoder for wind and photovoltaic power forecasts.

Pose and Semantic Map Based Probabilistic Forecast of Vulnerable Road Users Trajectories.Kress, Viktor; Jeske, Fabian; Zernetsch, Stefan; Doll, Konrad; Sick, Bernhard. In IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Vehicles, 8(3), bll 2592–2603. IEEE, 2022.

In this article, an approach for probabilistic trajectory forecasting of vulnerable road users (VRUs) is presented, taking into consideration past movements and the surrounding environment. Past movements are represented by 3D poses reflecting the posture and movements of individual body parts. The surrounding environment is modeled in the form of semantic maps showing, e.g., the course of streets, sidewalks, and the occurrence of obstacles.

Superconducting photoelectron injectors are promising for generating highly brilliant pulsed electron beams with high repetition rates and low emittances. Experiments such as ultrafast electron diffraction, experiments at the Terahertz scale, and energy recovery linac applications require such properties. However, optimizing the beam properties is challenging due to the high number of possible machine parameter combinations. This article shows the successful automated optimization of beam properties utilizing an already existing simulation model. To reduce the required computation time, we replace the costly simulation with a faster approximation with a neural network. For optimization, we propose a reinforcement learning approach leveraging the simple computation of the derivative of the approximation. We prove that our approach outperforms standard optimization methods for the required function evaluations given a defined minimum accuracy.

Enhancing Active Learning with Weak Supervision and Transfer Learning by Leveraging Information and Knowledge Sources.Rauch, Lukas; Huseljic, Denis; Sick, Bernhard. In Workshop on Interactive Adaptive Learning (IAL), ECML PKDD, bll 27–42. 2022.

One of the major limitations of deploying a machine learning model is the availability of labeled training data and the resulting expensive annotation process. Although active learning (AL) methods may reduce the annotation cost by actively selecting the most-useful instances, a costly human annotator usually provides the labels. Therefore, even with AL, we still consider the annotation process to be time-consuming and expensive. Besides human annotators, though, companies often have a vast amount of information and knowledge sources available that can generate low-cost labels (e.g., a black-box model) or improve the learning process (e.g., a pre-trained model). We present a novel approach that enhances AL with weak supervision (WS) and transfer learning (TL) to reduce the annotation cost by leveraging these sources. Specifically, we consider a black-box model like a rule-based system as an error-prone and weakly-supervised annotator that inexpensively provides labels. We estimate its performance with an annotator model to decide whether a human annotation is required. Additionally, we utilize unlabeled internal and external data by transferring knowledge from a pre-trained model to the AL cycle. We sequentially investigate the impact of WS and TL on annotation cost and model performance in an AL cycle through a use case. Our evaluation shows that our approach can reduce annotation cost by 51% while achieving nearly identical model performance compared to a traditional AL approach.

Unified Autoencoder with Task Embeddings for Multi-Task Learning in Renewable Power Forecasting.Nivarthi, Chandana Priya; Vogt, Stephan; Sick, Bernhard. In International Conference on Machine Learning and Applications (ICMLA), bll 1530–1536. IEEE, 2022.

Renewable power generation forecasts using machine learning are typically implemented as single-task learning models, where a separate model is trained for each photovoltaic or wind park. In recent years, transfer learning is gaining popularity in these systems, as it can be used to transfer the knowledge gained from source parks to a target park. However, for transferring the knowledge to a target park, there is a need to determine the most similar source park(s) among the existing parks. This similarity determination using historical power measurements is challenging when the target park has limited to no historical data samples. Therefore, we propose a simple multi-task learning architecture that initially learns a common representation of input weather features among the tasks, using a Unified Autoencoder (UAE) and then learns the task specific information utilizing a Task Embedding layer in a Neural Network (TENN). This proposed architecture, UAE-TENN, can be easily extended to new parks with or without historical data. An elaborate performance comparison of single and multi-task learning models is performed on six photovoltaic and wind farm datasets comprising a total of 529 parks. UAE-TENN significantly improves the performance of power forecasting by 10 to 19% for photovoltaic parks and 5 to 22% for wind parks compared to the baseline models. Even in the zero-shot learning scenario, when there is no historical data, we successfully demonstrate that the UAE-TENN improves the forecast accuracy for a new park by 19% for photovoltaic parks.

Three-dimensional close-to-substrate trajectories of magnetic microparticles in dynamically changing magnetic field landscapes.Huhnstock, Rico; Reginka, Meike; Sonntag, Claudius; Merkel, Maximilian; Dingel, Kristina; Sick, Bernhard; Vogel, Michael; Ehresmann, Arno.

The transport of magnetic particles (MPs) by dynamic magnetic field landscapes (MFLs) using magnetically patterned substrates is promising for the development of Lab-on-a-chip (LOC) systems. The inherent close-to-substrate MP motion is sensitive to changing particle–substrate interactions. Thus, the detection of a modified particle–substrate separation distance caused by surface binding of an analyte is expected to be a promising probe in analytics and diagnostics. Here, we present an essential prerequisite for such an application, namely the label-free quantitative experimental determination of the three-dimensional trajectories of superparamagnetic particles (SPPs) transported by a dynamically changing MFL. The evaluation of defocused SPP images from optical bright-field microscopy revealed a “hopping”-like motion of the magnetic particles, previously predicted by theory, additionally allowing a quantification of maximum jump heights. As our findings pave the way towards precise determination of particle–substrate separations, they bear deep implications for future LOC detection schemes using only optical microscopy.

Efficient SVDD sampling with approximation guarantees for the decision boundary.Englhardt, Adrian; Trittenbach, Holger; Kottke, Daniel; Sick, Bernhard; Böhm, Klemens. In Machine Learning, 111(4), bll 1349–1375. Springer, 2022.

Support Vector Data Description (SVDD) is a popular one-class classifier for anomaly and novelty detection. But despite its effectiveness, SVDD does not scale well with data size. To avoid prohibitive training times, sampling methods select small subsets of the training data on which SVDD trains a decision boundary hopefully equivalent to the one obtained on the full data set. According to the literature, a good sample should therefore contain so-called boundary observations that SVDD would select as support vectors on the full data set. However, non-boundary observations also are essential to not fragment contiguous inlier regions and avoid poor classification accuracy. Other aspects, such as selecting a sufficiently representative sample, are important as well. But existing sampling methods largely overlook them, resulting in poor classification accuracy. In this article, we study how to select a sample considering these points. Our approach is to frame SVDD sampling as an optimization problem, where constraints guarantee that sampling indeed approximates the original decision boundary. We then propose RAPID, an efficient algorithm to solve this optimization problem. RAPID does not require any tuning of parameters, is easy to implement and scales well to large data sets. We evaluate our approach on real-world and synthetic data. Our evaluation is the most comprehensive one for SVDD sampling so far. Our results show that RAPID outperforms its competitors in classification accuracy, in sample size, and in runtime.

Due to the ongoing trend towards a decarbonisation of energy use, the power system is expected to become the backbone of all energy sectors and thus the fundamental critical infrastructure. High penetration with distributed energy resources demands the coordination of a large number of prosumers, partly controlled by home energy management systems (HEMS), to be designed in such a way that the power system’s operational limits are not violated. On the grid level, distribution management systems (DMS) seek to keep the power system in the normal operational state. On the prosumer level, distributed HEMS optimise the internal power flows by setpoint specification of batteries, photovoltaic generators, or flexible loads. The vision of the ODiS (Organic Distribution System) initiative is to develop an architecture to operate a distribution grid reliably, with high resiliency, and fully autonomously by developing “organic” HEMS and DMS which possess multiple self-x capabilities, collectively referred to as self-management. Thus, ODiS seeks answers to the following question: How can we create the most appropriate models, techniques, and algorithms to develop novel kinds of self-configuring, self-organising, self-healing, and self-optimising DMS that are integrally coupled with the distributed HEMS? In this concept paper, the vision of ODiS is presented in detail based on a thorough review of the state of the art.

Design of Explainability Module with Experts in the Loop for Visualization and Dynamic Adjustment of Continual Learning.He, Yujiang; Huang, Zhixin; Sick, Bernhard. In Workshop on Interactive Machine Learning Workshop (IMLW), AAAI, bll 1–6. 2022.

Continual learning can enable neural networks to evolve by learning new tasks sequentially in task-changing scenarios. However, two general challenges should be overcome in further research before we apply this technique to real-world applications. Firstly, newly collected novelties from the data stream in applications could contain anomalies that are meaningless for continual learning. Instead of viewing them as a new task for updating, we have to filter out such anomalies to reduce the disturbance of extremely high-entropy data for the progression of convergence. Secondly, fewer efforts have been put into research regarding the explainability of continual learning, which leads to a lack of transparency and credibility of the updated neural networks. Elaborated explanations about the process and result of continual learning can help experts in judgment and making decisions. Therefore, we propose the conceptual design of an explainability module with experts in the loop based on techniques, such as dimension reduction, visualization, and evaluation strategies.

Trajectory data analysis is an essential component for highly automated driving. Complex models developed with these data predict other road users’ movement and behavior patterns. Based on these predictions — and additional contextual information such as the course of the road, (traffic) rules, and interaction with other road users — the highly automated vehicle (HAV) must be able to reliably and safely perform the task assigned to it, e.g., moving from point A to B. Ideally, the HAV moves safely through its environment, just as we would expect a human driver to do. However, if unusual trajectories occur, so-called trajectory corner cases, a human driver can usually cope well, but an HAV can quickly get into trouble. In the definition of trajectory corner cases, which we provide in this work, we will consider the relevance of unusual trajectories with respect to the task at hand. Based on this, we will also present a taxonomy of different trajectory corner cases. The categorization of corner cases into the taxonomy will be shown with examples and is done by cause and required data sources. To illustrate the complexity between the machine learning (ML) model and the corner case cause, we present a general processing chain underlying the taxonomy.

Stream-based active learning for sliding windows under the influence of verification latency.Pham, Tuan; Kottke, Daniel; Krempl, Georg; Sick, Bernhard. In Machine Learning, 111(6), bll 2011–2036. Springer, 2022.

Stream-based active learning (AL) strategies minimize the labeling effort by querying labels that improve the classifier's performance the most. So far, these strategies neglect the fact that an oracle or expert requires time to provide a queried label. We show that existing AL methods deteriorate or even fail under the influence of such verification latency. The problem with these methods is that they estimate a label's utility on the currently available labeled data. However, when this label would arrive, some of the current data may have gotten outdated and new labels have arrived. In this article, we propose to simulate the available data at the time when the label would arrive. Therefore, our method Forgetting and Simulating (FS) forgets outdated information and simulates the delayed labels to get more realistic utility estimates. We assume to know the label's arrival date a priori and the classifier's training data to be bounded by a sliding window. Our extensive experiments show that FS improves stream-based AL strategies in settings with both, constant and variable verification latency.

This work considers (deep) artiﬁcial feed-forward neural networks as parametric approximators in optimal control of discrete-time switched linear systems with controlled switching. The proposed approach is based on approximate dynamic programming and allows the fast computation of (sub-)optimal discrete and continuous control inputs, either by approximating the optimal cost-to-go functions or by approximating the optimal discrete and continuous input policies. An important property of the approach is the satisfaction of polytopic state and input constraints, which is crucial for ensuring safety, as required in many control applications. A numeric example is provided for illustration and evaluation of the approaches.

Gathering labeled data to train well-performing machine learning models is one of the critical challenges in many applications. Active learning aims at reducing the labeling costs by an efficient and effective allocation of costly labeling resources. In this article, we propose a decision-theoretic selection strategy that (1) directly optimizes the gain in misclassification error, and (2) uses a Bayesian approach by introducing a conjugate prior distribution to determine the class posterior to deal with uncertainties. By reformulating existing selection strategies within our proposed model, we can explain which aspects are not covered in current state-of-the-art and why this leads to the superior performance of our approach. Extensive experiments on a large variety of datasets and different kernels validate our claims.

Self-improving system integration (SISSY) aims at mastering the challenges of system organisation decisions for subsystems with highly dynamic behaviours. This is achieved by increased decision freedom of these subsystems, i.e., by moving the corresponding design decisions from design-time to run-time and from engineers to the systems themselves. As a result, a more robust and efficient constellation of the overall system organisation is maintained even under the presence of continuous change and disturbed conditions. Appropriate integration decisions require a solid foundation of assessing the current conditions and their dynamics using identifying triggers for a necessary evaluation of their own integration status. With this article, we present mCANDIES, a modular novelty detection technique especially suited for SISSY systems that fulfils exactly these identification tasks. mCANDIES tackles an anomaly or novelty detection problem in a modular way by combining the advantages of different detection approaches by exploiting locality in different regions of the input space — depending on, e.g. the density or location of expected observations. This is augmented with information about changes in the underlying model of the observations, i.e., mCANDIES identifies concept drifts. The corresponding information can then be used to trigger online learning behaviour. We analyse the behaviour of mCANDIES on artificial and real-world data sets and compare it to other techniques from the state of the art.

Translatory and rotatory motion of exchange-bias capped Janus particles controlled by dynamic magnetic field landscapes.Huhnstock, Rico; Reginka, Meike; Tomita, Andreea; Merkel, Maximilian; Dingel, Kristina; Holzinger, Dennis; Sick, Bernhard; Vogel, Michael; Ehresmann, Arno.

Magnetic Janus particles (MJPs), fabricated by covering a non-magnetic spherical particle with a hemispherical magnetic in-plane exchange-bias layer system cap, display an onion magnetization state for comparably large diameters of a few microns. In this work, the motion characteristics of these MJPs will be investigated when they are steered by a magnetic field landscape over prototypical parallel-stripe domains, dynamically varied by superposed external magnetic field pulse sequences, in an aqueous medium. We demonstrate, that due to the engineered magnetization state in the hemispherical cap, a comparably fast, directed particle transport and particle rotation can be induced. Additionally, by modifying the frequency of the applied pulse sequence and the strengths of the individual field components, we observe a possible separation between a combined or an individual occurrence of these two types of motion. Our findings bear importance for lab-on-a-chip systems, where particle immobilization on a surface via analyte bridges shall be used for low concentration analyte detection and a particle rotation over a defined position of a substrate may dramatically increase the immobilization (and therefore analyte detection) probability.

X-ray free-electron lasers (XFELs) as the world`s most brilliant light sources provide ultrashort X-ray pulses with durations typically on the order of femtoseconds. Recently, they have approached and entered the attosecond regime, which holds new promises for single-molecule imaging and studying nonlinear and ultrafast phenomena like localized electron dynamics. The technological evolution of XFELs toward well-controllable light sources for precise metrology of ultrafast processes was, however, hampered by the diagnostic capabilities for characterizing X-ray pulses at the attosecond frontier. In this regard, the spectroscopic technique of photoelectron angular streaking has successfully proven how to non-destructively retrieve the exact time-energy structure of XFEL pulses on a single-shot basis. By using artificial intelligence algorithms, in particular convolutional neural networks, we here show how this technique can be leveraged from its proof-of-principle stage toward routine diagnostics at XFELs, thus enhancing and refining their scientific access in all related disciplines.

Machine learning applications often need large amounts of training data to perform well. Whereas unlabeled data can be easily gathered, the labeling process is difficult, time-consuming, or expensive in most applications. Active learning can help solve this problem by querying labels for those data points that will improve the performance the most. Thereby, the goal is that the learning algorithm performs sufficiently well with fewer labels. We provide a library called scikit-activeml that covers the most relevant query strategies and implements tools to work with partially labeled data. It is programmed in Python and builds on top of scikit-learn.

Probabilistic upscaling and aggregation of wind power forecasts.Henze, Janosch; Siefert, Malte; Bremicker-Trübelhorn, Sascha; Asanalieva, Nazgul; Sick, Bernhard. In Energy, Sustainability and Society, 10(1), bl 15. BMC, 2020.

Wind power forecasts of the expected wind feed-in for the next hours or days are necessary to integrate the generated volatile wind energy into power systems. Most forecasting models predict in some sense the best value, but they ignore the other possible outcomes which may arise because of forecasting uncertainties. Probabilistic forecasts, on the other hand, also predict a distribution of possible outcomes with their respective probabilities that specific power values will occur and therefore have higher information content. In this work, we address two problems that hinder the introduction of probabilistic forecasts in practice: (1) no measurement data are available for some wind farms and (2) the flexible aggregation of probabilistic forecasts for changing wind farm portfolios.

Quantifying the Influences on Probabilistic Wind Power Forecasts.Schreiber, Jens; Sick, Bernhard. In International Conference on Power and Renewable Energy (ICPRE), bll 1–6. 2018.
- [ Abstract ]
- [ BibTeX ]
- [ EndNote ]
In recent years, probabilistic forecasts techniques were proposed in research as well as in applications to integrate volatile renewable energy resources into the electrical grid. These techniques allow decision makers to take the uncertainty of the prediction into account and, therefore, to devise optimal decisions, e.g., related to costs and risks in the electrical grid. However, it was yet not studied how the input, such as numerical weather predictions, affects the model output of forecasting models in detail. Therefore, we examine the potential influences with techniques from the field of sensitivity analysis on three different black-box models to obtain insights into differences and similarities of these probabilistic models. The analysis shows a considerable number of potential influences in those models depending on, e.g., the predicted probability and the type of model. These effects motivate the need to take various influences into account when models are tested, analyzed, or compared. Nevertheless, results of the sensitivity analysis will allow us to select a model with advantages in the practical application.

These techniques allow decision makers to take the uncertainty of the prediction into account and, therefore, to devise optimal decisions, e.g., related to costs and risks in the electrical grid. However, it was yet not studied how the input, such as numerical weather predictions, affects the model output of forecasting models in detail. Therefore, we examine the potential influences with techniques from the field of sensitivity analysis on three different black-box models to obtain insights into differences and similarities of these probabilistic models. The analysis shows a considerable number of potential influences in those models depending on, e.g., the predicted probability and the type of model. These effects motivate the need to take various influences into account when models are tested, analyzed, or compared. Nevertheless, results of the sensitivity analysis will allow us to select a model with advantages in the practical application.

Power system analyses increasingly use annual time series for temporal and spatial assessment of operational and also planning aspects. These analyses are often limited due to the computational time of the large amount of load flow calculation. By introducing algorithms which are capable of generating shorter and representative time series of measured load or power generation time series, the calculation time for load flow calculations can be reduced. We present a method which is capable of extracting features from the time series and use those features to create a representative time series. Furthermore, we show that our method is capable of maintaining the most important statistical features of the original time series by applying a Fisher-Pitman Permutation test.
