A Bayesian network model for surface roughness prediction in the machining process

The literature reports many scientific works on the use of artificial intelligence techniques such as neural networks or fuzzy logic to predict surface roughness. This article aims at introducing Bayesian network-based classifiers to predict surface roughness (Ra) in high-speed machining. These models are appropriate as prediction techniques because the non-linearity of the machining process demands robust and reliable algorithms to deal with all the invisible trends present when a work piece is machining. The experimental test obtained from a high-speed milling contouring process analysed the indicator of goodness using the Naïve Bayes and the Tree-Augmented Network algorithms. Up to 81.2% accuracy was achieved in the Ra classification results. Therefore, we envisage that Bayesian network-based classifiers may become a powerful and flexible tool in high-speed machining.     

Fault detection and isolation of faults in a multivariate process with Bayesian network

The main objective of this paper is to present a new method of detection and isolation with a Bayesian network. For that, a combination of two original works is made. The first one is the work of Li et al. [1] who proposed a causal decomposition of the T² statistic. The second one is a previous work on the detection of fault with Bayesian networks [2], notably on the modeling of multivariate control charts in a Bayesian network. Thus, in the context of multivariate processes, we propose an original network structure allowing to decide if a fault has appeared in the process. This structure permits the isolation of the variables implicated in the fault. A particular interest of the method is the fact that the detection and the isolation can be made with a unique tool: a Bayesian network.     

Data mining for quality control: Burr detection in the drilling process

Drilling process is one of the most important operations in aeronautic industry. It is performed on the wings of the aeroplanes and its main problem lies with the burr generation. At present moment, there is a visual inspection and manual burr elimination task subsequent to the drilling and previous to the riveting to ensure the quality of the product. These operations increase the cost and the resources required during the process. The article shows the use of data mining techniques to obtain a reliable model to detect the generation of burr during high speed drilling in dry conditions on aluminium Al 7075-T6. It makes possible to eliminate the unproductive operations in order to optimize the process and reduce economic cost. Furthermore, this model should be able to be implemented later in a monitoring system to detect automatically and on-line when the generated burr is out of tolerance limits or not. The article explains the whole process of data analysis from the data preparation to the evaluation and selection of the final model.

A Bayesian network and analytic hierarchy process based personalized recommendations for tourist attractions over the Internet

Selecting tourist attractions to visit at a destination is a main stage in planning a trip. Although various online travel recommendation systems have been developed to support users in the task of travel planning during the last decade, few systems focus on recommending specific tourist attractions. In this paper, an intelligent system to provide personalized recommendations of tourist attractions in an unfamiliar city is presented. Through a tourism ontology, the system allows integration of heterogeneous online travel information. Based on Bayesian network technique and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method, the system recommends tourist attractions to a user by taking into account the travel behavior both of the user and of other users. Spatial web services technology is embedded in the system to provide GIS functions. In addition, the system provides an interactive geographic interface for displaying the recommendation results as well as obtaining users’ feedback. The experiments show that the system can provide personalized recommendations on tourist attractions that satisfy the user.

Minimizing burr size in drilling using artificial neural network (ANN)-particle swarm optimization (PSO) approach

The burrs at the hole exit degrade the performance in precision part and affect the reliability of the product. Hence, it is essential to select the optimal process parameters for minimal burr size at the manufacturing stage so as to reduce the deburring cost and time. This paper illustrates the application of particle swarm optimization (PSO) to select the best combination values of feed and point angle for a specified drill diameter in order to simultaneously minimize burr height and burr thickness during drilling of AISI 316L stainless steel. The burr size models required for the PSO optimization were developed using artificial neural network (ANN) with the drilling experiments planned as per full factorial design (FFD). The PSO optimization results clearly indicate the importance of larger point angle for bigger drill diameter values in controlling the burr size.

A fuzzy neural network approach for online fault detection in waste water treatment process

In this paper, an effective strategy for fault detection of sludge volume index (SVI) sensor is proposed and tested on an experimental hardware setup in waste water treatment process (WWTP). The main objective of this fault detection strategy is to design a system which consists of the online sensors, the SVI predicting plant and fault diagnosis method. The SVI predicting plant is designed utilizing a fuzzy neural network (FNN), which is trained by a historical set of data collected during fault-free operation of WWTP. The fault diagnosis method, based on the difference between the measured concentration values and FNN predictions, allows a quick revealing of the faults. Then this proposed fault detection method is applied to a real WWTP and compared with other approaches. Experimental results show that the proposed fault detection strategy can obtain the fault signals of the SVI sensor online.

A Bayesian discriminating features method for face detection

This paper presents a novel Bayesian discriminating features (BDF) method for multiple frontal face detection. The BDF method, which is trained on images from only one database, yet works on test images from diverse sources, displays robust generalization performance. The novelty of this paper comes from the integration of the discriminating feature analysis of the input image, the statistical modeling of face and nonface classes, and the Bayes classifier for multiple frontal face detection. First, feature analysis derives a discriminating feature vector by combining the input image, its 1D Harr wavelet representation, and its amplitude projections. While the Harr wavelets produce an effective representation for object detection, the amplitude projections capture the vertical symmetric distributions and the horizontal characteristics of human face images. Second, statistical modeling estimates the conditional probability density functions, or PDFs, of the face and nonface classes, respectively. While the face class is usually modeled as a multivariate normal distribution, the nonface class is much more difficult to model due to the fact that it includes "the rest of the world." The estimation of such a broad category is, in practice, intractable. However, one can still derive a subset of the nonfaces that lie closest to the face class, and then model this particular subset as a multivariate normal distribution.     

A Bayesian approach to the Hough transform for line detection

This paper explains how to associate a rigorous probability value to the main straight line features extracted from a digital image. A Bayesian approach to the Hough Transform (HT) is considered. Under general conditions, it is shown that a probability measure is associated to each line extracted from the HT. The proposed method increments the HT accumulator in a probabilistic way: first calculating the uncertainty of each edge point in the image and then using a Bayesian probabilistic scheme for fusing the probability of each edge point and calculating the line feature probability.

Fault detection in dynamic systems by a Fuzzy/Bayesian network formulation

In this paper the fault detection problem is solved using an alternative methodology based on a fuzzy/Bayesian strategy combining a Bayesian network and the fuzzy set theory. The new important issue in this proposed methodology is to address uncertainties in the input of the Bayesian Network. This contribution is possible since the fuzzy set theory is used as the knowledge representation. To illustrate the technique, the fault detection problem in induction machine stator-winding is considered. Specifically, the faults in the induction machine stator-winding are detected by a state change of stator current. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the advance of the proposed methodology when compared to standard Bayesian network.     

BDTEX: A GQM-based Bayesian approach for the detection of antipatterns

The presence of antipatterns can have a negative impact on the quality of a program. Consequently, their efficient detection has drawn the attention of both researchers and practitioners. However, most aspects of antipatterns are loosely specified because quality assessment is ultimately a human-centric process that requires contextual data. Consequently, there is always a degree of uncertainty on whether a class in a program is an antipattern or not. None of the existing automatic detection approaches handle the inherent uncertainty of the detection process. First, we present BDTEX (Bayesian Detection Expert), a Goal Question Metric (GQM) based approach to build Bayesian Belief Networks (BBNs) from the definitions of antipatterns. We discuss the advantages of BBNs over rule-based models and illustrate BDTEX on the Blob antipattern. Second, we validate BDTEX with three antipatterns: Blob, Functional Decomposition, and Spaghetti code, and two open-source programs: GanttProject v1.10.2 and Xerces v2.7.0. We also compare the results of BDTEX with those of another approach, DECOR, in terms of precision, recall, and utility. Finally, we also show the applicability of our approach in an industrial context using Eclipse JDT and JHotDraw and introduce a novel classification of antipatterns depending on the effort needed to map their definitions to automatic detection approaches.     

A Bayesian network algorithm for retrieving the characterization of land surface vegetation

A hybrid inversion technique based on Bayesian network is proposed for estimating the biochemical and biophysical parameters of land surface vegetation from remotely sensed data. A Bayesian network is a unified knowledge-inferring process that can incorporate information derived from multiple sources including remote sensing and information derived from a priori knowledge. Using this inversion approach, content of chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b (Cab) and leaf area index (LAI) of winter wheat were estimated from data derived from simulations as well as field measurements. Estimations from the simulated data proved accurate, with root mean square errors (RMSEs) of 0.54 m²/m² in LAI and 4.5 μg/cm² in Cab. In validating the estimates against field measurements, it was found that prior knowledge of target parameters improved the accuracy of estimates, in terms of RMSEs from 0.73 to 0.22 m²/m² in LAI and 9.6 to 4.0 μg/cm² in Cab. Bayesian inference in this hybrid inversion scheme produces a posterior probability distribution, which can reveal such properties of the inferred results as updated information contained in the inversion result. Using entropy, the revision of posterior information about the parameters of interest was calculated. Including more data may allow more information to be retrieved about parameters in general. Exceptions were also observed where data from some viewing angles slightly reduced the information on the parameters of interest. It was also found that data from these viewing angles were less sensitive to the parameters. The method proposed here was also validated using LandSat ETM+ imagery provided by the BigFoot project. When used for mapping LAI with ETM+ imagery, the proposed method with an RMSE of 0.70 and a correlation of 0.67 produced a slightly better result than that from empirical regression.
