Working Group "AI enhanced fault detection, supervision and safety of technical processes"

This working group aims to create links between the Safeprocess and AI communities that could cross-fertilize the research on both sides. It is interested in all technical contributions that aim at providing AI-enhanced solutions for fault detection, supervision and safety of technical processes, together with surveys, and applications.

Objectives

It is recognized that Control and Artificial Intelligence theories can be synergistically integrated to provide better solutions for fault detection, supervision, and safety of technical systems. Analytical models of phenomena and tasks along with formal AI methods provide reliable and explainable solutions. On the other hand, the learning abilities provided by machine and deep learning further bring new possibilities that have not yet all been explored. Today, we can aim to extract knowledge by data mining, to learn or update diagnosis models from historical data and, ultimately, to hybridate model-based and data-based approaches.
