18 September 2017
09:00 am

The volume of data is rapidly increasing due to the development of the technology of information and communication. This data comes mostly in the form of streams. Learning from this ever-growing amount of data requires flexible learning models that self-adapt over time. In addition, these models must take into account many constraints: (pseudo) real-time processing, high-velocity, and dynamic multi-form change such as concept drift and novelty. This workshop welcomes novel research about learning from data streams in evolving environments. It will provide the researchers and participants with a forum for exchanging ideas, presenting recent advances and discussing challenges related to data streams processing. It solicits original work, already completed or in progress. Position papers are also considered. This workshop is combined with a tutorial treating the same topic and will be presented in the same day.

The Workshop

ECML/PKDD 2020 Workshop on
IoT Stream for Data Driven Predictive Maintenance

Maintenance is a critical issue in the industrial context for the prevention of high costs or injuries. Various industries are moving more and more toward digitalization and collecting “big data” to enable or improve the accuracy of their prediction. At the same time, the emerging technologies of Industry 4.0 empowered data production and exchange which lead to new concepts and methodologies exploitation of large datasets for maintenance. The intensive research effort in data-driven Predictive Maintenance (PdM) has been producing encouraging outcomes. Therefore, the main objective of this workshop is to raise awareness of research trends and promote interdisciplinary discussion in this field.

Data-driven predictive maintenance deals with big streaming data that include concept drift due to both changing external conditions, but also normal wear of the equipment. It requires combining multiple data sources, and the resulting datasets are often highly imbalanced. The knowledge about the systems is detailed but in many scenarios, there is a large diversity in both model configurations, as well as their usage, additionally complicated by low data quality and high uncertainty in the labels. In particular, many recent advancements in supervised and unsupervised machine learning, representation learning, anomaly detection, visual analytics and similar areas can be showcased in this domain. Therefore the overlap in research between machine learning and predictive maintenance continues to increase in recent years.

Maintenance is a crucial topic for industrial machines, medical equipment, energy systems, passengers transport vehicles and home appliances among others. Cost reduction, machine reliability, operation, safety and time reduction have been the main concerns of companies and organizations. Meanwhile, Industry 4.0 brought new opportunities of meaningful data collection and storage. Promising data-driven methodologies shrive for predictive maintenance becoming a strong alternative.

​

Motivation and focus

​

This workshop will be centred on questions such as when to perform a maintenance action? How to estimate components current and future status? How accurate are the existing methods? Which data should be used? What decisions tools should be developed for prognostic. How can Data Mining and Machine Learning (Artificial Intelligence in general) contribute to answering these questions?

Therefore, this event is an opportunity to bridge researchers and engineers to discuss the emerging topics and the key trends. Previous edition of the workshop at ECML 2019 has been very popular, and we are planning to continue this success in 2020.

Tutorial: IoT Data Stream Mining in Practice

The challenge of deriving insights from the Internet of Things (IoT) has
been recognized as one of the most exciting and key opportunities for both academia
and industry. The advent of IoT applications is here: industry 4.0, connected indus-
try, industry automation, smart cities, smart grids, energy efficiency, etc. All this IoT
applications require advanced analysis of big data streams from sensors and small
devices, while addressing security and privacy concerns. This tutorial is a gentle
introduction to mining IoT big data streams. The first part introduces data stream
learners for several learning tasks including distributed algorithms. The second and third part
present some applications for predictive maintenance, prediction for renewable ener-
gies, and social network analysis for telecommunications data streams.  The last part presents how to use Apache Spark Streaming for applying scalable machine learning on Big Data streams.

The Tutorial

Tutorial: IoT Stream for Data Driven Predictive Maintenance
​

Predictive Maintenance builds on monitoring the condition of specific equipment, observing its history as well as forecasting its future usage and wear trends – in order to identify the optimum time for maintenance. In most industries today, unexpected downtimes and failures are very costly and accurate predictions imminent issues become crucially important. PM addresses not only early detection of machine failures but also degraded performance and trends in product quality as well as appropriate actions to be taken. Recent developments in the field are based on different Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence methods for fully- and semi-automated data-driven pattern recognition and knowledge creation. Enabled by IoT streams, self-adaptive models are necessary to handle complex system dynamics and non-stationary environments.

This tutorial aims to present current trends and promising research directions within the field of Machine Learning for Predictive Maintenance. We will present state-of-the-art methodologies to tackle these issues, as well as their application in real-world settings. This year the focus will be on Transfer Learning and Representation Learning, as the two of the most actively researched techniques in the area. We will also present a discussion about future challenges and open issues. A case study related to Predictive Maintenance challenges in the automotive industry will be presented by invited speaker(s) from Volvo Trucks.

​

Description

The predictive maintenance paradigm significantly improves upon preventive maintenance by building on methods for “understanding” individual health status of each individual piece of equipment. This allows taking into account, among others, that usage profiles can be very different, due to global aspects (e.g. climate, education levels, and maintenance culture) or the particulars of the assignment (e.g. digging rocks or gravel, driving on the highway or in the city, etc.). Many market analysis reports indicate that the predictive maintenance market will grow very rapidly in the coming years. IoT, digitization and “big data,” faster computers with cheap memory, and especially machine learning algorithms that learn from very large data sets have demonstrated the possibility of making such specific predictions with very high accuracy.

Predictive maintenance is quickly moving away from diagnostic functions manually designed and tested by teams by domain expert engineers and embraces new developments in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence. These problems fit perfectly aware systems research, i.e., the research on systems that construct knowledge (semi-)automatically from observing real-world data. In most domains “normal” operation of a system is difficult to characterize precisely before deployment, and what is “normal” will vary throughout the lifetime of the equipment. Similarly, possible faults are often unknown or hard to describe precisely. Finally, due to the cost and design reasons, it is never possible to measure everything of interest; the condition of the equipment needs to be evaluated based on data that is available because it is convenient to capture – not necessarily the ideal data.

All these challenges combine to make Predictive Maintenance a very interesting testbed for modern Machine Learning algorithms. This tutorial will be interesting both for practitioners working in the area of Predictive Maintenance (who will get a chance to better understand new developments in Machine Learning as potential solutions) as well as for researchers developing new Machine Learning algorithms (presenting to them somewhat unique challenges present in the Predictive Maintenance setting and identify new promising directions of research and improvement).
