Sample Adaptive Multiple Kernel Learning for Failure Prediction of Railway Points
TLDR
In this article, a robust multiple kernel learning algorithm was proposed to predict railway points failures in the Sydney Trains rail network, which is an extensive network of passenger and freight railways.Abstract:
Railway points are among the key components of railway infrastructure. As a part of signal equipment, points control the routes of trains at railway junctions, having a significant impact on the reliability, capacity, and punctuality of rail transport. Traditionally, maintenance of points is based on a fixed time interval or raised after the equipment failures. Instead, it would be of great value if we could forecast points' failures and take action beforehand, minimising any negative effect. To date, most of the existing prediction methods are either lab-based or relying on specially installed sensors which makes them infeasible for large-scale implementation. Besides, they often use data from only one source. We, therefore, explore a new way that integrates multi-source data which are ready to hand to fulfil this task. We conducted our case study based on Sydney Trains rail network which is an extensive network of passenger and freight railways. Unfortunately, the real-world data are usually incomplete due to various reasons, e.g., faults in the database, operational errors or transmission faults. Besides, railway points differ in their locations, types and some other properties, which means it is hard to use a unified model to predict their failures. Aiming at this challenging task, we firstly constructed a dataset from multiple sources and selected key features with the help of domain experts. In this paper, we formulate our prediction task as a multiple kernel learning problem with missing kernels. We present a robust multiple kernel learning algorithm for predicting points failures. Our model takes into account the missing pattern of data as well as the inherent variance on different sets of railway points. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superiority of our algorithm compared with other state-of-the-art methods.read more

TL;DR: A non-trivial method which categorizes event pairs based on their basic information, and then characterizes inter-event influence between event pairs via a multivariate Hawkes process overcomes the major hurdle of data sparsity in abnormal events, and retains its efficacy in capturing the underlying dynamics of event sequences.

Multiple Kernel Learning Algorithms

TL;DR: Overall, using multiple kernels instead of a single one is useful and it is believed that combining kernels in a nonlinear or data-dependent way seems more promising than linear combination in fusing information provided by simple linear kernels, whereas linear methods are more reasonable when combining complex Gaussian kernels.
