Abstract This paper investigates the operation inspection and anomaly diagnosis of transformers in substations, and carries out an application study of artificial intelligence-based sound recognition technology in transformer discharge diagnosis to improve the timeliness and diagnostic capability of intelligent monitoring of substation equipment operation. In this study, a sound parameterization technology in the field of sound recognition is used to implement automatic discharge sound detections. The sound samples are pre-processed and then Mel-frequency cepstrum coefficients (MFCCs) are extracted as features, which are used to train Gaussian mixture models (GMMs). Finally, the trained GMMs are used to detect discharge sounds in the place of transformers in substations. The test results demonstrate that the audio anomaly detection based on MFCCs and GMMs can be used to effectively recognize anomalous discharge in the high scenario of transformers.

Time-dependent reliability assessment is a crucial aspect of the decision process for rehabilitation of existing reinforced concrete structures. Since the assessment strongly depends on degradation of materials with time, the paper focuses on the influence of corrosion in reinforcing steel on time-reliability curves of relevant reinforced concrete (r.c.) structures, built in Italy in the 1960s, belonging to different building categories. To realistically represent the probability distribution functions (pdfs) of the relevant properties of reinforcing steel and concrete commonly adopted in the 1960s, stochastic models for steel yielding and concrete compressive strength have been derived, by means of a suitable cluster analysis, from secondary databases of test results gathered at that time in Italy on concrete and steel rebar specimens. This cluster analysis, based on Gaussian mixture models, provides a powerful tool to “objectively” extract material classes and associated probability density functions from databases of experimental test results. In the study, different degradation conditions and several reinforcing steel and concrete classes are considered, also aiming to scrutinize their influence on the time-dependent reliability curves. Finally, to stress the significance of the study, the time-dependent reliability curves so obtained are critically examined and discussed also in comparison with the target reliability levels currently adopted in the Eurocodes.

In this work, we deliver a novel measure of similarity between Gaussian mixture models (GMMs) by neighborhood preserving embedding (NPE) of the parameter space, that projects components of GMMs, which by our assumption lie close to lower dimensional manifold. By doing so, we obtain a transformation from the original high-dimensional parameter space, into a much lower-dimensional resulting parameter space. Therefore, resolving the distance between two GMMs is reduced to (taking the account of the corresponding weights) calculating the distance between sets of lower-dimensional Euclidean vectors. Much better trade-off between the recognition accuracy and the computational complexity is achieved in comparison to measures utilizing distances between Gaussian components evaluated in the original parameter space. The proposed measure is much more efficient in machine learning tasks that operate on large data sets, as in such tasks, the required number of overall Gaussian components is always large. Artificial, as well as real-world experiments are conducted, showing much better trade-off between recognition accuracy and computational complexity of the proposed measure, in comparison to all baseline measures of similarity between GMMs tested in this paper.

Clustering is a major unsupervised learning algorithm and is widely applied in data mining and statistical data analyses. Typical examples include k-means, fuzzy c-means, and Gaussian mixture models, which are categorized into hard, soft, and model-based clusterings, respectively. We propose a new clustering, called Pareto clustering, based on the Kolmogorov–Nagumo average, which is defined by a survival function of the Pareto distribution. The proposed algorithm incorporates all the aforementioned clusterings plus maximum-entropy clustering. We introduce a probabilistic framework for the proposed method, in which the underlying distribution to give consistency is discussed. We build the minorize-maximization algorithm to estimate the parameters in Pareto clustering. We compare the performance with existing methods in simulation studies and in benchmark dataset analyses to demonstrate its highly practical utilities.

This paper describes computer vision algorithms for detection, identification, and tracking of moving objects in a video file. The problem of multiple object tracking can be divided into two parts; detecting moving objects in each frame and associating the detections corresponding to the same object over time. The detection of moving objects uses a background subtraction algorithm based on Gaussian mixture models. The motion of each track is estimated by a Kalman filter. The video tracking algorithm was successfully tested using the BIWI walking pedestrians datasets [. The experimental results show that system can operate in real time and successfully detect, track and identify multiple targets in the presence of partial occlusion.

Abstract This work introduces and derives an efficient, data-driven assimilation scheme, focused on a time-dependent stochastic subspace that respects nonlinear dynamics and captures non-Gaussian statistics as it occurs. The motivation is to obtain a filter that is applicable to realistic geophysical applications, but that also rigorously utilizes the governing dynamical equations with information theory and learning theory for efficient Bayesian data assimilation. Building on the foundations of classical filters, the underlying theory and algorithmic implementation of the new filter are developed and derived. The stochastic Dynamically Orthogonal (DO) field equations and their adaptive stochastic subspace are employed to predict prior probabilities for the full dynamical state, effectively approximating the Fokker–Planck equation. At assimilation times, the DO realizations are fit to semiparametric Gaussian Mixture Models (GMMs) using the Expectation-Maximization algorithm and the Bayesian Information Criterion. Bayes’s law is then efficiently carried out analytically within the evolving stochastic subspace. The resulting GMM-DO filter is illustrated in a very simple example. Variations of the GMM-DO filter are also provided along with comparisons with related schemes.
