This paper presents the essence of an examination of informativeness in the diagnostic information outputs expressed with multiple-valued logic. The diagnostic test required for the examination was completed on wind turbine equipment. The examination included a constant set of determined diagnostic output values. The DIAG 2 diagnostic system was used for the examination and the diagnostic test. DIAG 2 is a smart diagnostic system capable of any inference k of the set {k = 2, 3, 4}. The examination results were expressed in an Object State Table, separately for each k-valued logic of inference tested. Keywords: technical diagnostics, diagnostic inference, multiple-valued logic, artificial intelligence

This paper presents the essence of an investigation of a complex technical object with the use of four-valued logic. To this end, an intelligent diagnostic system (DIAG 2) is described. A special feature of this system was its capability of inferring k at {k = 4, 3, 2}, in which case the logic {k = 4} is applied. An important part of this work was to present the theoretical foundations describing the essence of inference in the four-valued logic contemplated. It was also pointed out that the basis for classification of states in the multiple-valued logic of the diagnostic system (DIAG 2) was the permissible interval of changes in the values of diagnostic signal features. Four-valued logic testing was applied to a system of wind turbine equipment. Keywords: technical diagnostics, diagnostic inference, multiple-valued logic, artificial intelligence

The article presents the problems of determining diagnostic information for the needs of testing the state of wind farm equipment. To this end, the essence of developing a functional and diagnostic model on the example of wind power plant equipment has been presented and described. Based on the developed model of the examined object, diagnostic information was determined in the form of a set of basic elements and a set of diagnostic signals, which are developed by the designated j-elements in the i-functional units of the object. The article presents a description of the process of building a knowledge base for an expert system. Keywords: technical diagnostics, diagnostic reasoning, multivalent logic, artificial intelligence

The article presents the issue of determining diagnostic information for the needs of testing the condition of wind farm equipment. To this end, the essence of the structure of an intelligent expert system was presented and described. The structure of the tested object is shown in the form of a functional and diagnostic model. Based on the developed model of the examined object, diagnostic information was determined in the form of a set of basic elements and a set of diagnostic signals, which are later used in the construction of an expert knowledge base. The expert knowledge base is determined by sets of facts and rules applied. An important part of this article is description of the structure of the expert system and the expert knowledge base used in it. Keywords: wind farm, renewable energy, technical diagnostics, diagnostic inference, artificial intelligence

The article presents the problem of determining diagnostic information for the purpose of testing a complex technical object. To this end, the essence of the development of the functional-diagnostic model was presented and described on the example of the wind power plant. Based on the developed model of the object, diagnostic information has been determined, which consists of two components: a set of basic elements and a set of diagnostic signals, which are worked out by the designated elements in the functional groups of the object. An important aspect in this paper is the shift in the pro bono definition of a set of diagnostic signals. Knowledge of the set of diagnostic signals and their nominal (master) signals is the basis for determining the range of changes in diagnostic signals that are the basis for the diagnosis of an object using the intelligent diagnostic system (DIAG 2) or using knowledge bases for expert systems. Keywords: technical diagnostics, diagnostic reasoning, multivalent logic, artificial intelligence

The paper outlines research issues relating to 2- and 3-valued logic diagnoses developed with the diagnostic system (DIA G 2) for the equipment installed at a low-capacity solar power station. The presentation is facilitated with an overview and technical description of the functional and diagnostic model of the low-power solar power station. A model of the low-power solar power station (the tested facility, a.k.a. the test object) was developed, from which a set of basic elements and a set of diagnostic outputs were determined and developed by the number of functional elements j of j. The work also provides a short description of the smart diagnostic system (DIA G 2) used for the tests shown herein. (DIA G 2) is a proprietary work. The diagnostic program of (DIA G 2) operates by comparing a set of actual diagnostic output vectors to their master vectors. The output of the comparison are elementary divergence metrics of the diagnostic output vectors determined by a neural network. The elementary divergence metrics include differential distance metrics which serve as the inputs for (DIA G 2) to deduct the state (condition) of the basic elements of the tested facility. Keywords: technical diagnostics, diagnostic inference, multiple-valued logic, artificial intelligence.

OBJECTIVE Little is known about the efficacy of using artificial intelligence to identify laryngeal carcinoma from images of vocal lesions taken in different hospitals with multiple laryngoscope systems. This multicenter study was aimed to establish an artificial intelligence system and provide a reliable auxiliary tool to screen for laryngeal carcinoma. Study Design: Multicentre case-control study Setting: Six tertiary care centers Participants: The laryngoscopy images were collected from 2179 patients with vocal lesions. Outcome Measures: An automatic detection system of laryngeal carcinoma was established based on Faster R-CNN, which was used to distinguish vocal malignant and benign lesions in 2179 laryngoscopy images acquired from 6 hospitals with 5 types of laryngoscopy systems. Pathology was the gold standard to identify malignant and benign vocal lesions. Results: Among 89 cases of the malignant group, the classifier was able to evaluate the laryngeal carcinoma in 66 patients (74.16%, sensitivity), while the classifier was able to assess the benign laryngeal lesion in 503 cases among 640 cases of the benign group (78.59%, specificity). Furthermore, the CNN-based classifier achieved an overall accuracy of 78.05% with a 95.63% negative prediction for the testing dataset. Conclusion: This automatic diagnostic system has the potential to assist clinical laryngeal carcinoma diagnosis, which may improve and standardize the diagnostic capacity of endoscopists using different laryngoscopes.

Abstract CONTEXT Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) characterized by acute weakness, hypokalemia and hyperthyroidism is a medical emergency with a great challenge in early diagnosis since most TPP patients do not have overt symptoms. OBJECTIVE To assess artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted electrocardiography (ECG) combined with routine laboratory data in the early diagnosis of TPP. METHODS A deep learning model (DLM) based on ECG12Net, an 82-layer convolutional neural network, was constructed to detect hypokalemia and hyperthyroidism. The development cohort consisted of 39 ECGs from patients with TPP and 502 ECGs of hypokalemic control; the validation cohort consisted of 11 ECGs of TPP and 36 ECGs of non-TPP with weakness. The AI-ECG based TPP diagnostic process was then consecutively evaluated in 22 male patients with TTP-like features. RESULTS In the validation cohort, the DLM-based ECG system detected all cases of hypokalemia in TPP patients with a mean absolute error of 0.26 mEq/L and diagnosed TPP with an area under curve (AUC) of ~80%, surpassing the best standard ECG parameter (AUC=0.7285 for the QR interval). Combining the AI predictions with the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and serum chloride (Cl -) boosted the diagnostic accuracy of the algorithm to AUC 0.986. In the prospective study, the integrated AI and routine laboratory diagnostic system had a PPV of 100% and F-measure 87.5%. CONCLUSIONS An AI-ECG system reliably identifies hypokalemia in patients with paralysis and integration with routine blood chemistries provides valuable decision support for the early diagnosis of TPP.
