Annotation

Using machine or deep learning to predict specific imminent events can be useful for many applications, like predicting the failure of a hard disk or unexpected downtime of a compute node. Such events can be considered anomalies that occur unexpectedly and rarely. Hence, it is a challenge to train machine and deep learning models for these due to lack of appropriate training data.

This course covers three different methods, using XGBoost, Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Autoencoders. For each, detailed hands-on exercises are provided to learn how to use these methods and how to select and pre-process training data for them.

In this workshop, attendees will learn how to:

• Use AI-based predictive maintenance to prevent failures and unplanned downtimes.
• Identify key challenges around detecting anomalies that can lead to costly breakdowns.
• Use time-series data to predict outcomes with XGBoost-based machine learning classification models.
• Use an LSTM-based model to predict equipment failure.
• Use anomaly detection with time-series autoencoders to predict failures when limited failure-example data is available.

This training will be held in a HYBRID mode and will NOT be recorded.
