Toward Explainable AutoEncoder-Based Diagnosis of Dynamical Systems

Autoencoders have been used widely for diagnosing devices, for example, faults in rotating machinery. However, autoencoder-based approaches lack explainability for their results and can be hard to tune.

Shrnutí:Autoencoders have been used widely for diagnosing devices, for example, faults in rotating machinery. However, autoencoder-based approaches lack explainability for their results and can be hard to tune. In this article, we propose an explainable method for applying autoencoders for diagnosis, where we use a metric that maximizes the diagnostics accuracy. Since an autoencoder projects the input into a reduced subspace (the code), we define a theoretically well-understood approach, the subspace principal angle, to define a metric over the possible fault labels. We show how this approach can be used for both single-device diagnostics (e.g., faults in rotating machinery) and complex (multi-device) dynamical systems. We empirically validate the theoretical claims using multiple autoencoder architectures.
