The Workshop
ECML/PKDD 2022 Workshop on IoT Streams for 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.

The Tutorial
with a focus on Explainable Predictive Maintenance (XPM)
Today, in many industries, various AI systems, often black-box ones, predict failures based on analysing sensor data. They discover symptoms of imminent issues by capturing anomalies and deviations from typical behaviour, often with impressive accuracy. However, PM is part of a broader context. The goal is to identify the most probable causes and act to solve the problem before it escalates. In complex systems knowing that something is wrong (i.e., to detect an anomaly) is not enough; the key is to understand its reasons and potential consequences, and to provide alternatives (solutions/advice) in order to mitigate those consequences. However, this often requires complex interactions among several actors in the industrial and decision-making processes. Doing it fully automatically is unrealistic, despite recent impressive progress in AI. For example, in wind power plants a repair requires synchronisation of inventory (e.g., availability of pieces to be replaced), logistics (e.g., finding a ship to reach the installation), personnel management (availability schedule), weather predictions (i.e., suitability of conditions to perform maintenance actions, in particular for high towers in offshore farms), and more. All these cannot be done by AI and require human expertise since the complete relevant context cannot be formalised in sufficient detail to allow automatic reasoning.
Recent developments in the field based on different Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence methods are promising for fully- and semi-automated data-driven pattern recognition and knowledge creation enabled by IoT streams. Explanations of the models are necessary to create trust in prediction results for complex systems and non-stationary environments.
This tutorial aims to present current trends and promising research directions within the field of Machine Learning for Predictive Maintenance. In addition, we will present some of the state-of-the-art methodologies in Explainable AI (XAI) relevant for predictive maintenance problems. Further, we will provide hands-on examples of applying XAI in benchmark datasets. This year the focus will be on explainable predictive maintenance (XPM). We will also present a discussion about future challenges and open issues on this topic. Two case studies related to Predictive Maintenance challenges in the Metro operation and Steel factory will be presented, hands-on, during the tutorial.
Description
Explainable Predictive Maintenance (XPM) focuses on creating methods that can explain the operation of AI systems within the PM domain. What makes the creation of the maintenance plans challenging is incorporating the PM AI output into the human decision-making process, and integrating it with human expertise. To make AI useful and trustworthy means putting fault predictions in a relevant context, and making them understandable for the humans involved. It requires explanations that are adapted to the roles and needs of different actors – for example, to lower-level engineers through connection to the blueprints of the technical installation; while
using other means for the managers who evaluate the costs of system downtime; or company lawyers assessing the possible liability in the case of safety-threatening failure.
The underlying theme of the XAI is building up the trust towards AI systems, but in order to maximise the real usefulness of PM, we need to go one step further. In particular, the primary novelty of the XPM is developing technological solutions that explicitly address four concrete reasons why the explanations are needed. Within these four rationales, the explanations of AI decisions will lead to the most significant improvement in the repair and maintenance actions taken by human experts. The first rationale is identifying (isolating and characterising) the fault. In complex industrial systems, AI is often able to identify deviations from normal behaviour, but due to a huge number of components with complex interactions, pinpointing the actual spot requires experts and their domain knowledge. The second is understanding fault consequences. The right maintenance depends on how the issue will evolve, what is Remaining Useful Life (RUL), and what can be the collateral damage or loss of productivity. These questions require considering the broader context, beyond the scope of the AI system. The third rationale, is supporting domain experts by helping human operators create the right repair plan, including optimising the system performances (e.g. uptime or safety) in the presence of the degradation. It also needs to strike the right trade-off between different quality criteria. Finally, the fourth is understanding the reasons why the fault has occurred and how to improve the system in the future. It can be related to incorrect usage, suboptimal design, as well as the monitoring process itself. For example, what optimisation of sensor types and placement will allow for earlier detection in the future, or what changes to the manufacturing process parameters will extend the lifetime of certain critical components.
Data-driven solution of predictive Maintenance supplemented with explainable tools is a very interesting application for the Machine Learning community. Especially since many XAI solutions are focusing on understanding ML models rather than communicating with the end-users. 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).

Foundations of Trustworthy Machine Learning on Data Streams
Abstract:
Trustworthy AI is broadly used as an umbrella term encompassing multiple aspects of machine learning-based solutions, notably including robustness, reliability, safety, security, scalability, and interpretability. Some of these aspects are of higher importance for adopting mostly autonomous solutions, others - for applications involving human-in-the-loop in decision making. In this talk, I will use examples of both kinds of applications to illustrate a variety of research challenges and related trade-offs being addressed. I will focus then on the peculiarities of trustworthy AI in machine learning over evolving data streams.
