Generalized Input-Output Hidden Markov Models for Supervising Industrial Processes

Motivation Often in industrial processes, batches of material are processed sequentially and repeatedly through a deterministic sequence of process steps. Operators may have difficulties to properly follow and supervise them especially when there is a large number of relevant sensor measurements to be monitored. Furthermore, although the current operating conditions may be considered normal, there... Continue Reading →
